by easyreader1970 infrom august 1, 1980 wt:.
is some point we have trouble in understanding really important?

Without God then the bad people get away!
by easyreader1970 inone of the reasons (there are many) i think people adopt a religion is to comfort themselves with regard to "bad people" and "good people.".
people do things against the society's accepted norm.
murder, theft, rape, or sometimes they just act like complete asses.

Names have been changed. Why?
by easyreader1970 inthe only time that the watchtower publication uses the real name of a person mentioned is when it's some biographical experience that is the entire article.
anytime a witness is quoted in an article or other publication, they always include a footnote.
"i studied medicine because i wanted to use my life to help people.

District Conventions are awful if you have kids. (Learn why!)
by easyreader1970 ini know that many of you have not been to distric conventions in some time, but what i am about to describe is a recent trend.. 1. more people than seats.
for the past six or seven years, they've tried cramming too many congregations into one convention hall at one time.
in many cases, if you do not get to the convention more than an hour before the program starts and you need more than a couple of seats, you cannot find seats.

I hate being alone ...
by easyreader1970 inmany times i read the life stories of former jws.
some of these jws are or have been married.
sometimes their spouses share their doubt about the religion and at times they leave the "truth" together or months or years apart.

Noah, a preacher of righteousness?
by easyreader1970 inif you are familiar with the wbts literature, you are familiar with their version of the story of noah.
it's mostly the same as other christian versions except for one detail.. in only one scripture in the bible (2 peter 2:5), noah is called a preacher of righteousness.
this is the only scripture in the entire 66 books that mentions him in this way.
