    Well, it seems they have put their foot down on studying on Tuesday evening. They want you to waste the whole night, not just an hour or two. That makes for some tedious reading and practice for field circus.

    Now that Doom Voyager has posted the message, I will post what you might wish to do about it. First, you could just study the Bible independent on what any Washtowel publications say. This works best if you take the New World Translation and compare it with any mainstream translation. Notice where there are blatant errors, and read the whole scripture in context to see which is more plausible. Read manageable amounts per session, and try to get it in context to tell what the scripture is actually trying to tell you.

    Another trick is to read the upcoming Washtowel. But you will look for any blatant problems. Look up the scriptures, in context, and check on what they are actually trying to say. Chances are you will find scriptures quoted out of context that tells you what the Washtowel Slaveholdery wants you to believe. Then, when you try and read the surrounding scriptures in context, it will tell you something totally different. Hint: Start with the year text and read the surrounding verses in their entirity. That will give you some idea of what to do.

    Another thing you can do is check the Washtowels for blatant inconsistencies. They are totally different from just a few months ago. Or, they seem to forget what they just said a few paragraphs ago, or in another article in the same issue, or in a nearby issue. Or they tell you to do something that a recent back issue makes impossible or that is not possible without paying an extreme price. An example might be telling you to stay up until after 1:30 in the morning writing letters and then telling you to get up to meet the group at the Kingdumb Hell at 5:30 the same morning.

    The Kingdumb Misery is ripe for the pickings. Take any or all of the articles and look up the scriptures. This time, look up the surrounding scriptures and try to get them all in context. You are looking for blatant inconsistencies in the Kingdumb Misery or scriptures taken out of context to support their doctrine. You are also looking for anything where they are telling you exactly what to do, so all you are doing is repeating what they have prepared. Any time you see a problem they are creating where none existed is notable.

    If you do these things, you will more likely have a fun study. It will go by quicker, and there will be that much less temptation to turn on the TV just because it is boring or turn in early for boredom. You will also be that much closer to the real truth, and could prove the death knell of this stupid arrangement.

    If my parents are all gung ho over this next year, I plan to suggest as our first item of research: "Will the inhabitants of Sodom be elegible for a resurrection?"

    Then, the next weeks topic: "Who are the 'superior authorities'?"

    If hubby wants to study on a Tuesday evening, I have an arrangement in mind. We get to study one of the society's books for half and hour, then one of the books in my Apostastash for half an hour.

    As it is he hates study so the TV will probably go on.
