Dammit. I picked up on the context of the verse, even showed it to the other half during the WT study, but didn't think of the application... Trapped. No jubilee year for me....

Major flub in Slavery Watchtower Study Article
by scotoma indo you ever wonder if the watchtower writers actually read the context of their key scriptures?.
they seem intent on perpetuating the idea that the jewish law was divine - perfect.. paragraph two asks the question "what would prompt an israelite slave to forfeit his opportunity.
to be free?".

My Story
by Brother Mike inmy story is long, heart stopping, tragic, and puzzling.
since i posted what was said to be my last post, i received a private message which sparked my attention about the watchtower.
immediately i did research, and have found not only proof from outside sources, but the watchtower openly admitting it.

DEC 2013 WT Article - Slave for Jehovah - warning: ranting ahead
by ohnightdivine inthis morning's wt study almost made me vomit, stand up, pick up my bag and rush to the door.. of course it never happened.
instead, i was able to make some nice drawings on my tablet and notepad.. if you replace the name jehovah with watchtower, or the governing 8 men, it would really make sense.. what's up with all that nonstop guilt-mongering about education and having a decent job?!.
most people look down on the uneducated, and i remember, when i didn't have a job, nobody cared!.

"farting tired" - !!!!! Excellent phrase, one which I plan to use in everyday life from now on!
Ya gotta bear in mind that we're not exposing ourselves to it in any real sense anymore, it's just bouncing off our awakened brains, we have aposta-shields!
I foresee (for me personally) a LONG time yet before I can either quit or convince the missus to quit and I follow (perfect scenario). But apart from the wasted time, I'm not TOOOOO bothered as long as the end justifies the means.
Farting tired of it though..

Who is the FDS class from midweek meeting....last night
by Legacy inlast night we had our midweek meeting.
the bible reading was from "who is doing jehovah's will....the part where they asked who was the fds.
i thought because of the past sept. wt, every hand would go up....all you heard were crickets.

Ours is tonight. I might answer quickly just to appear smug. But include the term "we're told that it's not..... But rather....." since I don't believe any of it anymore..

Wow they're really cracking down on the hotels thing.
NO WAY I'm staying in their approved list. WAY too expensive.

The medical specialist told me something alarming today. Pretty bummed.
by Julia Orwell inso i've been going to doctors for years with chronic fatigue, a condition i managed ok but which took a drastic nose dive in late 2011 to 2012 to the point where i could barely function.
work was part of the problem, so at the end of that year i left that stressful environment.
but in the meantime, for the last few years i've been going to doctors, specialists, psychiatrists and psychologists and undergoing every sort of blood test you can imagine and seeing all sorts of medical people.

Silver lining time..... You're not physically ill, AND you're out of the situation that's worn you down. Looking good to me! Sorry if this sounds a bit glib but I'm a 'glass half full and the first half was delicious' kinda guy.
