Objection by an elder
by cnn77 ini approached one of the elders with some of my doubts..... i mildly pointed to the fact that the wtbs had been errent in it's prediction of 1975 as well as some of the other "new light" issues.. his response was one which i have heard many times before: "the society is made up of imperfect men.

Advertise, Advertise, Advertise
by individuals wife inthere is a possibility that during my time as a jw i had knocked on every door and rang every doorbell and met just about every person in my whole area, especially during my over zealous pioneer episodes.
now that i have left i have the dilemma of how to show everyone i'm normal again!
it would be nice to walk down the street without sensing that everyone is trying not to meet your glance (mild paranoia!).
