   They cannot stop you, yet they will try. I have seen them do that in front of   
   my eyes to their new followers.   
      
   You will also be kicked out if you research and then teach on your research   
   when you follow your new understands to which they disagree.

   Yes, that is correct in many religious organizations. Some to a lesser degree   
   some to a major degree and that is because of their traditions of men. For   
   similar reasons there was a reformation that took place when many left the   
   decadent teachings of the RCC and the Orthodox. Yet some things were so   
   ingrained that their learned behaviors still and some practices still   
   continued on to this day even though it is to a much lesser degree in many   
   organizations.   
      
   This is why a true believer should follow Jesus and walk in his steps, as   
   empowered by the Holy Spirit of God the Father.   
      
   In fact that is the one glaring mistranslation of the KJV found in Acts 12:4.   
   Which was a carry over of the RCC teachings.

   She often accuses and needs to provide no proof, because she has her own set   
   of dogma's that she must follow that are based on the traditions of men.

   Funny, what she said is true of her Orthodox belief system. Although no   
   longer rigidly enforced they were supposed to only study the first four   
   Gospel, and then they were to be read in their bldgs on the altar with their   
   priest at their side.

   What she fails to understand, and is also a fact that you would now deny, is   
   that was the way of the JW for years. Only recently has that been somewhat   
   dropped because of your "New Understandings" as your cult has had to change   
   some of their core beliefs, as the teachings of many Christian organizations   
   from the Bible brought out and proved your lies so such an extent that many   
   have left your cult.   
      
   This truth can be found by comparing the red and the green books of old   
   against the current teachings of the JW, and the reasoning that you use now,   
   is that a lie believed years ago was in fact the truth of that day. An axiom   
   you still use today, personally, to excuse away the lies you consistently use   
   when you are called on your lie regarding that you believe the whole Bible.
