It is a paint by numbers approach to bible study. You can paint like a master, just put the right colors in the right places.
Same thing with a "bible study". Read paragraph, ask question, householder gives answer, repeat.

25Do the Rank & File JW's REALLY read and understand the bible to be able to REALLY start a study with someone???
by ADJUSTMENTS ini believe the average rank & file are illiterate when it come to the bible because they are so used to using the wbats cliff notes... even though i believe the bible is a fiction novel, at least be able to explain a novel you hold is such high regard: i mean jesus!!!

by Open mind infor those who choose to fade, leaving your old congregation is often a first step.
did you switch congos while stll in "good standing" (tm)?
if so, did the local jws try to give you a going away party?

They were comparing who was in "the truth" the longest, who pioneered where and for how long. How many generations of jehovahs witnesses they were. As it went on they drank more wine and the bs got thicker. One would say their kid pioneered such and such a place then the other couple would up them by saying their kid is a missionary in the Congo.
I had to get up and leave. I just couldn't take it anymore.

I believe that most JW's are ill-equipped to be good marriage mates due to what they learn about marriage from magazines, books and kingdom hall meetings.
It doesn't help that some of the books on marriage have been written by bethelites who have either never been married or if they are married have never had to make it work in the real world. -

You're absolutely correct outlaw. Jw marriages are set up to fail. Then when they do fail it is because you weren't doing enough service/ personal study/submission etc etc etc -

I met a couple there that I haven't seen in many years. They really look wore out. The jw treadmill has kept them busy all of these years -

This is exactly what I as thinking. This guy must be well connected with the leaders in the hall. Or her daddy is an elder.
her daddy isn't an elder but is well off. Her mommy is a pioneer.
The grooms family is extremely well connected At the reception I ended up sitting with an ex bethelite elder and his wife. I guess their kid is a missionary somewhere.
It was hard but I kept the boozing to a minimum with the free bar and all I have a big mouth when I drink so I might have blown my cover.

I recently went to a wedding and listened to the wedding talk at the Kingdom Hall The couple had both heard the talk before as they were both married in Kingdom Halls before. This is his second time and her third. The advice given. Wife be in subjection to your husband, be a doormat and your marriage will succeed. They as usual misapplied the scripture in Ecclesiastes about the threefold cord. Keep Jehovah in your marriage and it will all be good.
It obviously didn't work the first go around for these folks.
