Galatians 5:1 For such freedom Christ set us free. Therefore
stand fast, and do not let yourselves be confined again in a
yoke of slavery. NW
Used this on my dad the other day......My answer to the
organization and to where I'm at in my life now.
FREE!
Me too Mic, so congratulations to the both of us!
Paul was speaking here in Galatians of freedom from the old Jewish Law, especially its requirement of circumcision.
However, since the Society spends more time with the Old Testament than the New, and has become as legalistic as the old Law, preferring ritual and restrictions to "weightier matters" such as "justice and mercy and faithfulness," the comparison is a good one.
...the Society...has become as legalistic as the old Law, preferring ritual and restrictions...
AMEN to that!
Yes, I AM FREE! Free of the fear, guilt and self-doubt the GB routinely uses to control the congregation and keep them down and in line.
Free indeed!!!
Hallelujah!!!
LOL

Hello pratt1
30 years was about it for me too. You'll find plenty of free thinking people here! Nothing like the suffocating enviroment we had to endure at the Hall!
yes, freeeeeeeeeeedom (say it like mel gibson in braveheart at the end)j
welcome pratt1! to JWD!
Freedom to believe and think what you want is the most precious freedom imho. The wts has fought for this freedom at great length in countries around the world, and then once it is secured, has ensured their own members no longer have that freedom. More importantly, they take away the most important freedom of conscience by the hundreds of written and more subtle unwritten rules - Jeece!
boa....who will jealously guard his freedom from now on....
