i agree , its so pointless, your sisters point about the purse rminded me of a sister who was talking to me in town one day about the fact that her purse had been pinched at an assemblyShe said "my mother said to me i should have beEn morE carefull becausea lot of worldly people attend assemblys ! " i was so insulted as i was an ex study ,therefore a "worldly person" i said "excuse me i would not have dreamed of stealing your purse ,and as we both know , there are jws who have done a lot worse than steal your purse ! (her underage sister had been raped by the same man that had raped my daughter ) so she still hadnt learned that not all jws are trustworthy , give up ! (sorry about the mistakes , im kneeling on the floor typing this at the desk , as i have a bad back )

found some mags at my place of work
by looloo inthe jws had obviously , just called , wish i had answered the door ,i looked through the awake and on page 20 , it refers to if you make criminals your companians ,you are more likely to end up one , or words to that affect !
so in the publics version they use the term "criminals " and i presume the jw only (koolaid)version the word "criminal"is replaced with anyone who is not a jw !
how misleading this cult is , dont the jws ever compare the public and koolaid versions and see how misleading they are ?

Did leaving the WT build greater appreciation for or kill your reading of the Bible?
by lepermessiah ini am really on the fence on this issue right now and would love some opinions.. i find that i dont sit down and read the bible for long periods since becoming inactive, but on the other hand, individual scriptures mean much more to me now.. i will sit down and look up some favorite passages from time to time and feel like its the first time i really "got it" - without the jw goggles on.
i love matthew chapter 23, since i think it describes to a tee the situation in jw congregations.
i think if jesus returned today, he would blast the elders and "leaders" of the borg in a similar fashion (along with most religious leaders) .matthew 24 is actually more interesting to me now, simply because my whole life was waiting for the 1914 generation to end sometime during the reagan era!
