Once you are disabused of the notion that "God" has anything to do with it, it's really easy to see how sick, evil and twisted much of the Bible accounts really are.
i don't typically hear from my mom often, but i tell you, over the past couple of weeks, i have heard from her several times.
you heard the comment about "our way of worship will be altered" and thank you for your posts by the way....but yesterday, she calls and is asking about the kids and then, in typical jw fashion mind you, says:.
"you know, you should really get back to meetings.
This is just ridiculous. How long can people keep falling for this crap.
At some point, you have to accept that the people that go along with it are as culpable as the guys running the con.

BW: Hey this also serves a good purpose of making the GB aware that they got some serious security leaks from people at Bethel
Good point!
It must drive them crazy that no matter what they do, they cannot plug the leaks at Bethel.
