I don't read anything of the MO-stuff since years, since I left...I also have hardly anything, kept the MOPs & some daily Breads for
"archeological" reasons...I can't waste my time on that stuff, have better things to read either online or in bookform...I know TF is wrong, so I don't need to prove it to myself, much less to others...unless people are involved in courtcases, I don't think you have to use much Bible to prove that TF deviated much from the straight and narrow...
Of course the system can be quite rough...when we first landed in Germany, there was nobody, no friends & relatives (we were at odds with my parents & 150 km in distance apart), no TF exmembers nearby etc...so I got "weaned" the hard way...I sure wished, there were more idealistic people (to the nth degree), but since our sheepyness got exploited, I learned the hard way again about our fleshly nature...by the way I read an interesting book right now, about "heretical" movements in the middleages...we weren't the first ones to get it wrong, neither those in the middleages...history repeats itself...but I am sure glad to have one
yardstick I am going by more than ever...the good old Bible...
