  This awful truly awful,. It is mind contol of thr highest order.

  I am struggling with my 14 y old JW daughter agianst such attitudes.

  Perhaps it is not surprising that in lands where many have received such an education, belief in God is at an all-time low. Rather than looking to the advanced educational systems of this world for security, a Christian trusts in Jehovah."

  i wonder why he said that. HE just gave the reason why they are against higher education, because the truth can set them free, free from the wts.

  Thanks for posts evryone many useful thougts

  ... but not just Italian... Losch is a screwball in 5 languages! Besides being multilingual, he is an expert in faulty logic, as was evident in his Bethel Morning Worship comments. But I digress...

  In this case, kids that go to college will leave the faith. Then conversely, kids that don't go to college all stay in the faith. WRONG! Many that don't go to college still leave the J-dubs. College or no college, the kids have the right to decide for themselves.

  Me? I trusted in Jehovah. And he and his bOrganization screwed me, big time. I wish I'd gone to college.

  It took forever for me to play that video over dialup and I only got bits of it but the subtitles were sound translations.

  From my own limited personal experience, I'd agree that quite a few teens who grew up as dubs still left the cult without a college or university education. Painting them in a broad brush though, I'd say they aren't as dangerous to the Borg. They don't tend to show drastically better standards of living when contrasted with the average dub.

  Those who get a post secondary education however do (myself excluded). I think the contrast with that group can be stark. To dubs wishing for a better life its got to get some of their attentions. Also the college educated tend to do better at refuting the WTS' bogus statements in very logical and persuasive manners. They can be very effective at countering the Borg and so they are more to be feared.

  I'd like to run up on thatr stage and kick that man in the balls

  ROFLMAO dawg..... Help yourself, can i have a kick or two? Like many of you I didn't go to college as it was planned, also later one my company offered me a fully paid scholarship, because of my results at work.....I declined A SECOND TIME, my mother (raising us, as a single mother) was having very hard beating elders knocking on our door, persuading her and putting pressure on me (through my mother)....after I declined, and started pioneering they never knocked again...not even to encourage....it was all MORE, MORE and MORE. Later one, a friend of mine went to Bethel....and yes, they invite lawyers, engineers and doctors to become Bethelites and most of them NEVER pioneered.

  By the way, Brutus Loesch, I WILL persuade as many young ones as possible TO DEFINITELY GRAB any career chance by the horns! Your talk puffs like smoke in the air, I am constantly there, talking into they're ears, sweet and lovingly, just as the average JW likes....because they are so beaten up, that anybody that cares a little bit has open ears. So forget about it....MORE YOUTHS TO COLLEGE.

  Praise be for subtitles!

  Oh my f'n gawd!!!!!!!!

  Attempted suicide because of OCD is not relavant to dropping out of college and making your way.

  Physical survival can't be compared to intellectual survival.

  It doesn't relate at all.

  That was the worst analogy I ever heard in my LIFE!

  That was not a true story. How could it be? The bullet wiped out the OCD part of the brain. Yeah, right.

  as several others people have said, that is the same "talk" I heard 35 years + ago. The " going out of business " line has been around a long time. this is so ancient. They ruined all our lives, our kids, now they want to foul up the grandkids lives.

  i agree, F*ckers

  Can anybody put a value on this guys package at Bethel, I mean what would any RF have to earn to have the same comfort level which I imagine would reqire a good college education. What was his credentials before becoming one of the GB. This question must apply to all in their priveledged position.
