Thankyou , especially enjoyed those articles , W.F . pointed out , I believe there is much more even more pointedly discouraging ones from doing independent studying .

Or, to shorten it to the nitty gritty:
"Studying the Bible...leads to Apostasy"

And to think they slam the Catholic's for not letting their believers read the Bible and relaying only on the Priests or at least we were told that. The more I know of the facts of the religion I was born into the more I realize that it is the same as the Catholic's just the names and titles have been changed.

OMG. Thanks Watchtower Free. It really baffles me but hang on thinking about that would require doing just that.

I continue to be amazed at the arrogance and damage of the one and only 'right' way.

How about this article, kind of along the same lines?

***w81 2/15 p.19 Do We Need Help to Understand the Bible?***

Jesus' disciples wrote many letters to Christian congregations, to persons who were already in "the way of the truth." (2 Pet. 2:2) But nowhere do we read that those brothers first, in a skeptical frame of mind, checked the Scriptures to make certain that those letters had Scriptural backing, that the writers really knew what they were talking about.

OUR VIEW OF THE "SLAVE"

We can benefit from this consideration. If we have once established what instrument God is using as his "slave" to dispense spiritual food to his people, surely Jehovah is not pleased if we receive that food as though it might contain something harmful. We should have confidence in the channel God is using.

Impressive...................................NOT!!!!!

As the famous ToMo3 once said: "the GB are the most thinkingest people on the planet"

So why would we need to use our own brains to research and think deeply, when they are doing it for us?

Marking, thank you. And was there not something also in a publication or KM that said we shouldn't even use other bible translations?
