Jehovahnomics, you have found the issue that was the tipping point for hubby and me. Doctrine can be argued but stealing money and lying about it is inexcusable for an organization who claims to represent God.

Yup, kids would play, you could get a drink of water, go to the restroom etc. Why did they dispense with it?

A poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min. break between the talk and the WT study on Sundays. The break was supposed to be to allow JW's time to drive their Bible studys home from the talk. What I actually saw were several "weak" brothers smoking a cigarette out front. How 'bout you?

Welcome to the board, Blackfalcon. In my nearly 6 decades as a JW I was a member of 13 different congregations in almost as many cities and towns in California. I noticed that there are congrations with unusually high numbers of very odd people for whatever reason. I do not think it is unfair to say a lot of the odd ones have mental issues as that term is very broad. The GB have had a history of discouraging pscotheraphy and the results speak for themselves.
