Awake and such
by Phil inmy daughter joined the jw and on various occasions i have asked her some questions about the jws and their practices.
her responses always seemed to be incomplete.
a question i have for you folkes on the board is what kind of remuneration does the jw organization get from the members and what do the elders and others do in the way getting the necessary funds from the members.

Doctrines
by Phil inall religions have doctrines.
these doctrines, without exception have been "invented " by man.so it does not matter which religion you choose, you are relying on what a man or group of men say or think what god wants.
various religions have different ways of indoctrinating a person into believing in what he says.
