WTBTS prints one thing preaches another
by hungry4life ini was talking to a friend and she told me that at her hall they gave a special part (i beleive it was during the meeting where they use the km)(man my memory is fading fast.
any way it is late and i am rambling.
my point is that they came out with a pretty balanced awake that made it sound as though a college education wa ok with them.

ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by gilwarrior inas most of you know i usually write about sexual matters, but i would like to take this time to write about something serious.
after two months of writing posts and reading others people's posts and have concluded that the jehovah's witness organization purposely prevents people from contact with other people, because that way it is hard for someone to leave the organization.
if everyone you know is in the organization then how can you leave?
