Great job, B. I believe your posting these study articles has made the GB so paranoid that they are going to try to make them inaccessible to you and the rest of us "apostates." Congratulations!
When I was a 15-year-old new publisher, I was out in field service one day with a group of sisters. One of them was laughing at a householder who was Roman Catholic because the hh had told her that the priest took care of everything so she didn't need to delve into the scriptures in a profound way. How ironic!
BTW, I'm happy and most of my friends are, too; we all think for ourselves and support one another. In the 28 years since I escaped, I have never once felt the need to talk to an elder about who I should go to the game with.
Thanks,
SandraC
