TRUTHBOOKBLUE is great! Parts 1 and 2 of the DC education talk. And some commentary.

But, why are so many JWS watching so many videos on this site?
That's very clever. I hope a lot of kids see it.
I have been checking out some videos on youtube and I agree. A lot of witnesses posting defences and a lot of them quite nasty like "may jehovah strike you down" type gear. What is that about?
I also agree with the added narration on the videos. The speakers try to make it look like getting an education is bad news and only leads to trouble while pioneering leads to happiness. What they don't tell you is that not getting an education leads to stagnation, and you will usually find yourself unable to take care of yourself when you get older. Oh well, at least you will have placed many magazines.
There is an underlying reason for our poor education. It has to do with the leaders. The more they want to control people, the less they teach them things that really mean something. And they teach in a disjointed way that leads to boredom, which is why so many people do poorly in school and there is disruption in class. Most drug problems result from people that need kicks: if education was up to standard, it would supply all the kicks they need. Plus, there would almost never be any heads-downs for excess noise.
However, that doeesn't justify banning it. As crappy as our education system is today, it is still better than nothing. You need to get that education, to make sure your thinking is securely within the box, in order to get decent work (otherwise, they are afraid that someone is going to design something better and put the big companies out of business, cutting off lobbyist funds for next election). Which is still better than spending your life in the cleaning and window-washing business and pioneering. I would rather go to college, even with all the crappy administration that wants to keep everyone in the box, than skip it and pioneer and be a window washer or toilet scrubber.
Finally, did I mention that the congregations have most of the same problems found in the campus? The videos did. This is because the root of most binge drinking, wild sex parties, drugs, and other things that are mentioned is stagnation. People do those things in search for kicks, and they need the kicks to relieve the boredom caused by the stagnation. And no organization is more stagnant to be in than the Puketower Society. I think I will stick with college.
The internet is the ONLYplace that a JW can experience true freedom of speech, you can’t say things like that in the KH, when they have Watchtowers articles that preach their propaganda about not completely higher education, everyone raised their hands and agrees, you have to agree, can you imagine if someone raise’s their hands and says that they don’t agree, that they want to advise their children to do well at school, they’ll get into trouble from the elders.
Youtube has become a magnet for JWs to see what the upcoming DC has in store. The person who made it should use accurate facts instead of using blanket statements. Not all pioneers are in debt to their eyeballs while working as janitors. There are some that I know who run successful small businesses, computer consultants, web designers without much or no higher education. We need to separate fact from fiction and educate those JWs with knowledge within these pages.
Okay...but these are just funny...like the Watchtower captions threads here.
The WTS has targeted MySpace. Now they will target YouTube. They will not want the brothers and sisters either posting information/videos nor making comments to the postings of others.

I love it. The WTBTS cannot possibly stop the flood of information that has been let loose.
