  Does anyone remember when the Watchtower website first opened, it wasn't mentioned in the magazines or at the meetings for a while?

  i seem to remember that from the mid-ninties onwards there were articles in the km and watchtower warning about the dangers of the internet.

  as a result it seemed to come as a bit of a surprise to some witnesses i knew when the society opened up their own website.

  but as i recall, when the society first opened the website, they never mentioned it in the literature or at the meetings.

  I do remember the time I discovered their site. I felt cheated by them.

  I guess, inwardly, that started my questioning but it still took ages before I got out.

  Toyota Stuck Accelerator

  i just don't get it, why can't people shift into neutral, when this happens?

  in the 1980's, i had a car accelerator stick a few times; before, i found out it was the floor mat, this was a very powerful car for it's day, about 240 hp.

  i learned to pull the floor mat down every time i got in the car, no big deal.

  The moment I knew it was crap....

  already had doubts from the time i got pubes... but i was about 15 and we were studying the revelation "book" for the upteenth time.

  i realized for every actual bible verse they qouted there was 2-3 paragraphs of conjecture, assumption, faulty logic and just plain stupidity.

  that's when i began to plan my escape.

  fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul.

  as one who has been wanting a flat screen tv really badly, i took this story very hard.. what would drive someone to such madness?.

  my first thought it was 'oldhippie' had seen something on tv he didn't like.

  somebody making fun of the geico lizzard and he decided to even the score.
