I hate to rain on anyones "upbuilding convention", but let me remind everyone of something. First of all, they tell you it is wrong to go to college so that you can learn something helpful to support your family. They tell you you should be pioneering instead of learning. Okay..that is all fine and great but only a SMALL percentage of people actually pioneer. So the society is pumping out an entire generation of "retards" (myself included) that can't or have a hard time supporting their families and then they tell you that you should quit the only existing means you have to support them to come to a convention. Now tell me..do you think Jehovah actually supports this thinking?
They want to keep you uneducated so that you don't have the ability to use your brain and think for yourself. I guess Jehovah didn't need to give us a conscience after all. Just ask the society. They will tell you what to think. I wonder how King David and Job became so wise? UM?>..do you think they had higher learning?
PS. Just ignore me. I just lost my entire family because I just told them about the UN thing. I could have been a doctor. I got a full ride scholarship. Couldn't use it. I had to sell furniture to live.
