At the special assembly day they interviewed a elder who came into the truth in the early 50's he had just signed up for collage and was starting his life at the age of 18 or 19 then he learned the truth. A elder came to him and asked why he wanted to go to collage when the system's end was so close. He realized that the elder was right. He immediately dropped out of collage and pioneered. Did he ever regret his decision to not go to collage. NO WAY! Serving Jehovah full time was much better then any collage degree he would have received. He said the if the system was so close to ending in the 50's think how close it is now!
I was like what the heck? That does not even make sense.
Funny this elder is very well known where we live and seems to be very well off. He only pioneered for a short while and disregarded the ban on marriage had a couple of kids, is now a great grandfather. I do not see him pioneering nor living in poverty.
This religion is SICK! They want to keep the rank and file stupid.
Life really is too short for this garbage.
