The name of this forum
by Georgiegirl in
1. jw
2. friends
we've all seen jw apologists come on here (or very confused jws'/jw wannabes) bellyaching about how misleading the name of this forum is.

it suddenly occurred to me - shouldn't that actually be a red flag for them?

the very organization that claims to be "his witnesses" and that it is the only religion out there sanctifying the name of jehovah (ergo, they are the "truth") - uses the watchtower as their homepage name.

because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.

... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

if you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career.
