It is odd, but the very rare hall does have meetings that start @7.

Old Time Assemblies Question - Watchtower Study
by Mad Sweeney inplease refresh my memory.. in the past, did they have an actual watchtower study at the assembly with questions and answers?.
if so, do you know when that ended and they started doing the review as a 30 minute talk?.
what would the arrangement at the assembly in, say, 1966 have been for the watchtower study?.

Are all other religions scummy dross in comparison?
by Marie B. Paraison inis it true that the god of israel was not satisfied with the worship of the nation of israel alone, he sought to have the worship of the people in the great city nineveh by sending the hebrew prophet jonah to help this great city to repent, to have faith and to obey?.
crime and violence was their religion!.
i have also repented of the watchtower religion that bashes and does violence to all other religions.

A warm welcome to the board WhatWasIThinking! Like you mentioned, you can be thankful the deities that be that you weren't born-in (it takes way longer to achieve any sort of critical thinking skills and to see the forest from the trees) and that you lost "only" 4 years.. It takes some people much longer than that to see through the charade.
As far as your experience in the congo, I can sympathize. In every congregation I've ever been in, there are always various cliques that have existed long before you ever became a JW, and will exist long after. You had no way in. I know, because I always spent all my time on the outside. But that's OK, cause here we are!
