I attended on Sat afternoon. Points of note mentioed several times in talks:
Pornography...still a big issue in dubdum...must be an epidemic the way they harp on it...especially porno on the web...so dubs are on the web in spite of the WT...no doubt on xJW sites also.
Divorce...continues unabated by JW's all over. Huge problem ...almost every area cong has some issue with it. Couples are not committed to each other...not allowing Jah in the marriage...getting married to young...big problem, for sure. Destroying familes in God's spirit directed organization (tm)
"Higher education"...a "waste of time"...too many pursue "excess education" ...Jah's education is perfect and complete...higher education is "empty and self gratifying (yeah, especailly if you like to eat and stay dry)...
real sad "experience"...20 yr old MS and pioneer worked 3 days a week testing robots for an engineering company near Boston...company wanted him to work full time plus they would then send him to MIT (top school in the US) to pursue an engineering degree.. He is held in very high regard...the company was founded by MIT grads and professors...he prayed about it and decided he only wanted to work 3 days a week and forego the "higher education" (which he felt was "useless" in this system soon to end (tm)...so they moved him from the engineering dept to shipping / receiving...but becasue he was to "touch" some material going to the military...he QUIT the job...now he's unemployed...but "happily" pioneering" my guess is when he ultimately wakes up re the WT and begins to post here eventually, he is going to be one Pissed off cowboy...what a horrific decision...his parents (one a JW) are incredulous...I'm going to get them some info re the WT (UN and sending some to college when they need to)...maybe it own't be too late for him to rectify the situation at the job.
Unbelievable...and 5000 people at the convention here this stuff and applaud? WTF...
