    This quote is far from reality.

    Does study of the Bible lead to family breakup? No.In fact, the Bible encourages a husband and wife who practice different religions to remain together as a family.—1 Corinthians 7:12, 13.

    There have been many experiences on here where the JW partner leaves due to fear of spiritual endangerment, sometimes at the encouragement of the elders. I wonder how an elder would respond in such a situation if shown this quote.

    Actually, I suppose it could be argued that a study of the Bible would reveal the extra-Biblical nature of man-made Pharasaic concepts like 'spiritual endangerment', so the claim could in fact still be perversely TRUE.

    However, I'm guessing that's not exactly what they had in mind...

    Adam
