Watchtower, Wolverine, and the LIE that every 13-year-old saw RIGHT AWAY...
by Unlearn ini'll always remember this issue of the awake warning jw parents about comic books and why they were so dangerous.. the cover had a kid on the front sitting indian-style reading a comic book, wide-eyed and smiling.
came out in the early 1980's.. i'll always remember it because it screwed up one of my favorite past-times: i was around 13 years old and a hardcore collector.. after this article, it was a continual tug-o-war with my dad over comics....and it lasted until i was 18 and moved out.. .
here's what was telling about that article:.

Has anybody given any thought for Calebs freind ?
by smiddy inafter all, this unidentified freind of caleb gives him a toy, which calebs mom finds objectionable , shouldn`t she just have said to caleb ,give it back to your freind ?
and not dump it in the trash can ?
what sort of a message does that send to caleb (or any other children who watch this video ) calebs mom should have acknowledged that his freind gave him a present, and it should be appreciated , not to disrespectfully throw it away in the trash can with no thought to the giver of the present.. smiddy.

So... what's being studied at the moment...???
by Bells ini'm not the most proficient user of computers, so excuse my ignorance - though does anyone know of any websites (the non-complicated ones - you know, no downloading special software etc.
- yes, i'm that hopeless) that explain what is the 'hot topic' week to week and month to month.. i'm interested in knowing what agenda is being pushed at a particular time, especially in regards to conventions and that sort of thing.
i find the witnesses that i have to associate tend to be more or less opinionated on certain things depending on what the wt is telling them to think at any one time.. if i am able to understand what they are being told, i think it will help me to avoid getting involved in certain conversations and therefore 'keep the peace'.. does such a site exist?

Why do I even care!?
by Bells infor those of you who dont know my story here it is in a nutshell: im not a witness and never have been.
in fact i barely knew anything about witnesses (other than they come and knock on your door when youre trying to have a sleep in!
) until i met - and fell in love with - a boy at school who happened to be a witness.

Who's Cult is it Anyway...???
by Bells infirstly - i am not, and never have been a witness.
my bf's family are all witnesses and i have been looking into the religion lately to try to get a better understanding of where they're coming from.
(btw, my bf is not a witness - he was thankfully never baptised and he just walked away from it about 13 years ago).
