Comment about Family and Community Shunning
by Band on the Run ini was minding my own business, out of my jw zone, reading a current best-seller, the finkler question, a man booker prize winner, by howard jacobson.
the main character, julien, has two jewish friends with very different views of israel.
the older one, libor, feels he may end up in israel b/c he will have no choice.

Dumbing Down
by Band on the Run inmy perception after observing this site for a short time is that posters here are much better informed and articulate than the witnesses i encountered.
growing up there were contradictory messages.
in fact, my grades were a witness than jws were better than my school peers.

when we were active, there was much ado about the word soul, being nonscriptural.
i think the new world translation was written to avoid the word.
