    I attended university in the 1980's and - in August of my first semester - immediatly lost all 'special prividges' - sound, reading the WT, Service Meeting demonstrations, etc.

    Open the WT library and search for college or university. In the 1950's the WT Society condemned the educated as pompous and 'high minded'.

    I wonder how many people have had their life destroyed, being unable to take higher education, because of WT doctrines. I have seen so many pioneers, elders, CO, DC, when they become older, being unable to even own a cheap car, depending on other cong. members to drive them out in “the service”, being unable to pay their rent. Depending on “gifts” from other congr. Members. They cannot afford to go to Distr. Convention. Or can they pay medical attention themselves.

    All this because they believed the “word” the end is near 50 years ago. Shouldn´t those responsible for their biblical theories pay them of now? The WBTS, is probably one of the richest estate owner in the world. They have the money to make life easier for our old faithful friends. But they are to grid to let them have a part of that fortune. I smell fraud.
