Why do they call themselves Christians?
by KistByQpid ini am not trying to be sarcastic.
however, it just doesn't make sense to me.
if a christian is one who "follows christ" how does that apply to the jw's?

Who's Who in the WBTS
by bj inmany are those of us here who often ask who's who in the wbts.
to simplify things it would be a good idea if a volunteer would create a web site specificaly with this aim.
it could lead also for a book.. if one needs to consult the biography of don adams, joel adams, karl adams, etc., this site would furnish the answer.

Knock Knock...
by KistByQpid ini'd be interested in hearing some of the exjw's door-to-door experiences.
i've probably had the saturday morning door knocking...maybe 6-8 times.
i've never been "rude" except for once...when i had a particularly aggressive pair who wouldn't take "no thank you" for an answer.

Some "Informal Preaching" with my Par...
by mindfield inhi everyone.... as some read in my "an update on my situation" post, i'm trying to gradually leak some small truths to my parents... the key word being gradually.
so, a few hours ago, we received a phone call from a "brother" in the cong... he was excited about something.
my dad took the call, and started asking something about abc (the tv channel).

Kind of Depressed, Looking for Someone to Talk to
by Reborn2002 insome of you on this board know me, or at least part of my story, very likely most of you do not.. i am a 21 yr old male from chicago who finally mustered the courage to da myself roughly 6 months ago.
being a 3rd-generation jw, my grandfather was an elder 45 years, so this developed a reputation and precedence for me that i would one day be a co.. or go to bethel.
such high expectations, which i am happy i never fulfilled.
