  in light of the following scripture:-.

  there are six things that jehovah does hate; yes, seven are things detestable to his soul: lofty eyes, a false tongue, and hands that are shedding innocent blood, a heart fabricating hurtful schemes, feet that are in a hurry to run to badness, a false witness that launches forth lies, and anyone sending forth contentions among brothers.

  - (proverbs 6:16-19).

  They use the example of Rahab lying that she was hiding 2 spys in her house.

  Uh, Rahab was not a worshipper of Jehovah yet - she was still a prostitute, right? So, why is her decision making (lying) used as an example to follow and that of say, Lot and his daughters (incest) is not?? Where is the logic??

  Why didn't we ever study "Mankind's Search For God"?

  was there an official or unofficial reason that anyone knows of?.

  it seems to me that pretty much every publication was studied at the book study, but we never did that one..

  @WAC = This one is on the house. $5 won't cover the fees it would take for me to accept it.

  ok, my dates must be off - but I know we studied it because I thought even then that their scope and depth of covering each topic was very shallow.

  I'm from Oregon/Washington. We studied it. I remember it clearly. I believe I was still in high school, so it must have been 1988 - 1990. I'm going to my 20 year high school reunion. Wish me luck!

  Thanks for all the encouraging words...I really appreciate you all taking the time out to comment.

  What were you thinking moving across from a JW? You could always "sneak" the boyfriend in when they are away to meetings and assemblies. Isn't it ridiculous how grown people have to act sometimes, because of this religious cult?

  @ ThinkAboutIT: I clearly knew they were in the neighborhood - there are more than 10 families that live nearby. BUT, I didn't know that any lived across the street until after I moved in. UGH. And YES, it is RIDICULOUS that I feel I have to sneak around to live a normal life.

  That may not help living in a neighborhood of snoopy JWs, but you can put it out there that you've switched congregations, so that might get them off your back a little.

  @Brizzy: I am am fluent in sign language, I could tell them I am moving to sign language - and then just go sporatically. I do need to brush up on some vocabulary.

  @ThinkAboutIt:

  If you keep your current strategy and just go very occasionally, but don't get talked into getting involved......you can be successful in keeping your family & friends, not letting the WTS cult control you, and stay true to how you really feel.

  This was sort of what I was thinking too. Just play along. I don't have to agree with everything to attend once in a while. My question then is: how do I make it through the meetings?? I'm not sure I have the stamina to endure an entire meeting at this point.

  Advice, anyone?
