My Bible study instructor told me that scripture meant I would be free from being forced to buy birthday and Christmas gifts. No kidding.

How does the WT explain "The Truth will Set You Free???"
by Confucious innow that i'm really free with truth.
i was wondering how the wt explains this scripture, since their members are in bondage.
i was told by the lady that studied with me that jw are free from superstitions, etc.

by JeffT in.
very interesting website run by a guy that got out of a cult that almost makes the jw's look rational.

I read the site extensively. There are a lot of similarities, especially in the terminology used.

Makes sense. My congregation is full of fat aging ladies who never found a brother to marry thus never had sex. Another evening with Ben & Jerry.

The School & Service Meeting: How to sell mags and influence people
by truthseeker inthe theocratic ministry school, which started in 1943, has to be the most boring and dullest meeting of the 5 weekly meetings that witnesses have to attend.
this is also probably the least attended meeting, with the book study group coming in a close second.
having sat through possibly a thousand of these monotnous meetings, i wonder how anyone can possibly be excited about joinging the tms.

The Watchtower study is definitely the worst. I always try to busy myself doing something else, (i.e. re-orgaizing stickers in my daughter's sticker book) then checking back to see what paragraph we were at. Becoming especially proud of myself if I had managed to pass over 3 or 4 paragraphs. A few weeks ago there were only 18 paragraphs instead of 21. I almost cried with joy.

Funny you should mention that. I was having dinner with a dubbie this weekend and she told me they all gathered on the Brooklyn Bridge in white robes, thinking they were going to "ascend to heaven." Not sure of the date, but I assume it was in 1914. Boy, they must have looked dumb. Does anyone else know anything about this?

Hi Everyone
by Chloe ini am one of those lurkers who finally decided to post and introduce myself.
i could possibly win an award for the longest addicted reader without posting ever.
i started reading this site when the old h2o shut down - what was that - 3 or 4 years ago.

Hi Chloe! We're glad you're hear.
Isn't it sad when religion is what turns someone away from God?
