  If I sent you a PM, would you publish it without my permission?

  
  

  That's funny. How many times did elders reveal confidential information to their wives, children, friends, and even non-jws. I can't even count them. I'm still hearing to this day from elders who the latest sister is that had a threesome, the latest brother who hired a prostitute, the latest wife who was caught on the website, "Do you want to have an Affair" And I've been inactive for almost 2 years---LOL!

  We are adults and should know by now that if we want to keep something secret, then don't tell anyone. If we reveal to someone something that we don't want known and it later comes out one way or another, then we only have only ourselves to blame. It's human nature to share things with others.

  If you don't want others to know, take it to the grave.

  What happened to the six month rule about if they don't progress that the study should be stopped, this was back in the early 80's

  That depends on the publisher, A bible study who gives you cookies and milk and you can avoid door the door in the heat , cold, rain, or snow, why would you even tell the elders you've been studying with this person for 20 years!

  Could it be these people who are forever studying have little social interaction and enjoy having an excuse to get dressed up for and enjoy being the center of people's attention?

  
  

  Yes, I believe you hit the nail smack center.

  I think I got the record on that. My wife and I studied with a lady 33 years ago and she attended most of the meetings and the memorial all these years. She finally got baptized this year. Holy F*** I have no idea why!

  Well strange things has happen.

  Totally agree James, I bet all the people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki never imagine that on that memorial day of August 1945- thousands upon thousands would be wiped out in less than a minute by atomic bombs.

  Trump would be crazy enough to do that without asking anyone for permission. He used the term "I do what I want, that's why I am so Successful"

  Bill Cosby and Trump, what's next.

  Trump for President,Sarah Palin for Vice President, and Bill Cosby for recreational director.

  Remember, if they get elected, they have the power to push that red button and create a mushroom cloud.
  

  It's getting worse than the WT, maybe we are close to the end.

  Those aged, over-used paste and cut "recommendations" from "scholars" are not what they seem, but most of you folks already know that. Most of them are not even recognized scholars with any respect in academia.

  Here's a test for any JW That starts spouting off "quotes" and blurbs from authorities...Ask them, who are your favorite Bible scholars, past and present? How do they compare with the most respected ones in the field today? Can you name them?

  That's good to know Caleb. I think I will try that next time. But I better get familiar with who are the respected scholars today.
