Die hard jw's see any problem with Sept km?
by carla inwill die hard jw's see any control issues with the sept km?
i once brought up the fact to my jw that jw's were not allowed to get together informally to do any kind of 'bible' studies without the approval of the elders, gb, etc.. he said that was totally ridiculous and false, more apostate lies.
this was long ago now and i'm not sure he even remembers saying it.

what would the incentive be?
by carla inwhat would the incentive be for any of my family to join the jw's?
i'm sure my jw feels that we will all see how wonderful he is since joining (yeah, right) and how happy he is (no comment).
however, we all know about the shunning that can take place once one is baptized, so why risk it?
