Please reccommend older Watchtower publciations for stumbling purposes
by TheStumbler infirst time poster here but i've been lurking a while.. i have a question that i was hoping some of the watchtower historians might be able to answer.
if a witness was willing to read some of the organisation's older publications, what books would you get them to read and how do i get these books?.
my family are witnesses and my father is an elder.

My aunt needs help writing to her JW daughters
by beth_ inso, my dh and i have only known since october that the jw's don't have "the truth.
" we're both born ins that were never zealous, but never questioned it either.. my grandma converted when my aunt was pretty young, so she was brought up as a jw from age 5 or 6.. i just found out last week that after her marriage broke up about a year ago and then she moved away, she also figured out the truth about the religion.. anyway, her daughters are young adults and are gung ho jws (even though they weren't brought up that way really).
even though my aunt/ their mom isn't df'ed, they told her they can't have anything to do with her because they can't approve of her new lifestyle.

Childbirth
by sleepingbeauty inim not a prude, but i just dont like it when the wbts disgusses the facts of life such as childbirth within their articles - (artists impression of a pregnant woman included) it means that all children regardless of age get to understand things they ought not know as yet... am i on my own with this...
awake january 2011 page 16... (ive not worked out how to make this a clickable link, so if it dont work put this into your browser to go to pdf article).

The Blood muddle
by leo999 ini could do with some help to sort out this fraction muddle .we are inactive and of the conscious class , but trying to help others see the 'light' in whatever ways we can .. a couple of years ago , i asked an elder about the fractions , questioning particularly the 33% hemoglobin allowed in the 06 km insert .
when i was a wee girl growing up , nothing of any part was allowed and we were fanatical to even write manufacturers and question their ingredients !!.
i would like to have a list of allowable fractions according to the societies current light , and also what fractions are not allowed .

current JW tagged in pictures in Xmas and Birthday parties on FB
by James_Slash inhad to laugh when i saw this.. a current jw who i know on fb was tagged in photos showing him at a christmas party a few days ago.
within minutes of them landing he removed the tags because obviously these would have been seen by other jw's on his page.. when i asked him why he'd removed them he said: "i was off work sick and i didn't want my colleagues seeing me on the razzle".
lol.

Enjoying the Taste of Freedom ...
by sleepingbeauty inhi guys n girls.... i slipped under the jw radar just one year ago.
i wasn't happy going to meetings as i always felt worthless and everything i did wasnt good enough.
well having managed to miss a few meetings, i thought nothing of sneaking a look at apostate websites.
