When I was still going to meetings after being disf'ed my (now husband) sweety went with me. He had never been a JW. He said to me these WT studies are real yawners. I had to laugh because yes they were. So I asked why he thought so? He said, "no one give an outside opinion besides just quoting the paragraph which had already been read". He said it was no discussion, it was just a bunch of people parroting what the WTS told them to say. From that moment on I though he is right. I asked him for his other observations. There was a talk on mercy and love that Jesus displayed, one example of Jesus kindness toward the Israelite women with a 20 year flow of blood who touched Jesus but he didn't condemn her. My Sweety said to me, "Why is it that they can speak of such love an mercy but treat you like a dirty smelling dog at the meetings. Not even common politeness to you or even to me who has never been a JW. He had point, we never returned to the meetings ever again. My brain began to wake up, and see it all for what it really was. A man controlled organization that had no love or mercy for its followers or even those who they viewed as unclean.
Yep those WT studies on Sunday could be real snoozers. Some talks on Sunday were just as bad depending on the speaker. I have since heard college professors give lively and interesting discourses on the bible that just left you amazed. Lively discussions and a variety of thoughts shared among students.
