Ties between Society and local KH
by Band on the Run ini was wondering how the witnesses tend to not have much education.

Preparing Scriptural Defenses Against WTBTS
by Band on the Run ini am curious whether most people here believe that they need to memorize biblical proofs against wtbts teachings the way they did as a witness.
my concern is that for someone out for decades, i may read the bible too much.
i am drawn to it almost unnaturally as for me it is the best proof the witnesses lied and willfully misinterpreted.

Low SocioEconomic Stature of Most Jehovah's Witnesses
