This study edition is an absolute attack on kids going to higher education, and you all are getting too cosy at home with your sky tv and the internet, get out on the doors you idle dogs.. Oh and if you have a good job already you could not be putting the kingdum first !
Here is some of the crap in the mag, and the article Temporary Residents In A Wicked World.
10
In view of the imminent end of the
present system of things, as Jehovah’s servants
we realize that this is no time to settle
downin this dyingworld.
They make limited use
of the world to earn a living. They purchase
necessary goods and servicesmade available
in the world. However, they avoid using
theworld to the full in that they keepworldly
possessions and occupations in the proper
place.
Vigilant Christians refrain from using
the world to the full with regard to higher
education.
Consequently,
young Christians are encouraged to pursue
spiritual goals, getting only as much education
as is required to meet their basic needs
while focusing on preparing themselves to
serve Jehovah ‘with their whole heart, soul.
For example,
when young people get married, many
of them expect to ‘have it all’ right away—a
house or an apartment fully furnished and
well-equipped, a nice car, and the latest electronic
devices. However, Christians who live
as temporary residents do not let their desires
go beyond what is reasonable and possible
for them. Indeed, it is commendable
that many forgo certain material comforts
in order to devote more time and energy to
Jehovah’s service as zealous Kingdom publishers.
When the hope of eternal life on earth
is fulfilled for the other sheep, they will no
longer be temporary residents in a wicked
world. They will have beautiful homes and
an abundance to eat and drink.
Neither the anointed nor the other
sheep will regret having lived as temporary
residents in thiswickedworld.
What a crock and a waste of paper and ink. Sorry about the format but I am not good at posting the WT.
Any comments feel free to post.
