last night i had jw broadcasting on in the background while i was working, i like to keep up to date with their crap.
which is strange because when i actually was a jw i hated reading or watching their material.. anyway, on the streaming section, anthony morris comes on screen telling me that higher education is bad and "the better the university, the greater the danger".
i never would have believed it if i hadn't seen him say it myself.
It reminds me of the talk another GB gave years ago. I think it was Sam herd? Or was it Gerrit losche?
He likened someone who shot himself in the head, to someone who went to university. He said that it's true, you MAY survive shooting yourself, but it will have consequences...
Or some BS along those lines anyway!

Well, what do you expect from a man who once said (and I quote correctly...just try and hear it in his drawl voice)
"Jehovah's people are the THINKINGEST people on earth"
Yes, and that children, is what UNEDUCATED sounds like....
i have been told that there is to be a special talk linked via video hook up all around australia this saturday april 1st?
a 3 hour program apparently?.
someone said it was a governing body speaker?.
I heard that it is a zone visit apparently....
not sure who the speaker is though....
i really don't know what to expect of this.
they are being labelled extremists in russia and are close to being banned.
so the show that they aren't extremists they encourage all jw's worldwide to bombard the kremlin and court with millions on letters..
Why not just pray for Jehovah to fix the situation?
"if you have faith the size of a mustard grain, you can move mountains"
after cyclone debbie pounded her way across the queensland coast she then dropped massive amounts of rain onto the land.
one area just west of mackay was hit with a metre of rain in 48 hours.. lots of damage towns going under lives lost.. go the abc.net.au/news..
Much love to all those affected!
the study was on how wt has refined itself over the years by ceasing celebrations of christmas etc.. paragraph 11.
11 what a fine example those faithful bible students set for us!
reflecting on their example, we do well to ask ourselves: ‘how do i view the direction we receive from headquarters?
So what about the fact that much of what "headquarters" has dispensed has proven to be incorrect over the years?
Was "headquarters" getting things wrong, or was God having a bad day when he dispensed such "spiritual truths" to them, and needed a "do-over" to get it correct??
here in the uk--private--or personal- car registration plates are popular.. heres one i photo'd tonight.. .
jerome over on discuss the truth has picked up on something interesting.. in the july watchtower on page 28 of the article entitled “winning the battle for your mind” the following statement is made “keep in mind that satan does not want you to think clearly or reason things out well.
because propaganda is likely to be most effective, says one source, if people… are discouraged from thinking critically.”.
the quote comes from a book entitled: “media and society in the twentieth century: a historical introduction by lyn gorman, david mclean" the watchtower however, chose to leave out a portion of the quote.. the full quote is "therefore, it is likely to be most effective if people do not have access to multiple sources of information and if they are discouraged from thinking critically.. the following sentence which the watchtower also decided was best not to include states,.
Konceptual99: They rely on the lack of research done by the vast majority to allow the potentially embarrassing editing of the original quote and it's context to slip by unnoticed.
Yes, sadly, 99% of witnesses WILL NOT look for the actual quote from the original source if it has been quoted in the society's material! They will just take it as factual and correct BECAUSE it is in the material.
The other 5% who DO research the original, end up on forums like this with us!
we know that jesus supposedly said at matthew 10:16.
"be cautious as serpents, yet innocent as doves".. so , with all the hype going on about russia, and the "personal" letter writing campaign the gb is making all witnesses be a part of, this scripture came to mind.. surely this action is the very opposite of being "cautious"!?
surely it is not being "innocent" as to world affairs and political activities?.
Nice comments!
True, the GB are not cautious or dove-like!
haha
