Slow to help....Quick to punish!
by FreedomFrog inok...thought this was interesting.. mom called this morning practically begging me to go to the jc meeting that's coming up this weekend.
i explained that i had asked 6 different elders to get a study started with me within a span of 4 years because i was "feeling weak".
each time i asked for a study i would say "i need help because i'm losing faith".

they said that if i do go to the jc and ask them to help me understand why they believe certain stuff and then ask for a study i will probably not get df'd.
i can "bow" down to them and do their little game if the results would help my family.. i love my family very much.

gina really thinks on her feet!
when she met with her parents, she brought up the infamous "walsh case" in crisis of conscience, where the watchtower higher-ups (including fred franz) had to give embarrassing testimony under oath about the watchtower's controlling methods and tactics.
