Losch gave, more than once, a talk in which he compared suicide attempt with university careers.
Losch represents the most radical and stupid line of the Jehovism.
so we had brother losch visiting our special assembly day which was weird in itself.
he's not a very good speaker and seemed like he was in dire need of a nap or something.. anyways just a few observations from the assembly program.
theme: imitate their faith.

i wanted to relate an experience that happened this morning.
it is regarding the new format for the meeting on thursdays in my area.
its not word for word but im summarizing what i heard, the best i can remember.
"but you, daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end.
many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.
(daniel 12:4).
For those who read in Spanish, I wrote a commentary on Daniel's fraud:

"but you, daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end.
many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.
(daniel 12:4).
Kepler: "But the notion that Daniel should keep silent about what he saw, heard or learned - I think you hit it on the head".
I noticed that after knowing that this book was an apocalyptic fraud (as all we have). Surely, this books was written in that time of trouble, when Antiochus' men were pressing the Jews for idolizing the Zeus' image in Jerusalen's temple. So, the author needed to write a story of a past hero so as to give comfort. He cleverly had to justify the appearance of this unknown book to his readers, so he had to create a scene where an angel told to Daniel for not revealing the visions before the time of the end. Thus, the readers would say: "Oh yes, this is why we couldn't have the manuscript before these events".
Interestingly, I was attracted firstly by the Watchtower literature after reading a green book of the 50s written by Fred Franz that interprets the book of Daniel. In this book, "the time of the end" was the events after 1914, but now I clearly see that this was Antiochus' time. Thus, catholic scholars admit it, but many evangelicals, as well as Adventists, insist that this was a future time. They even believe that the book was written in the sixth century.

The book pretended to have been written in the sixth century before Christ. However, most scholars admit that it was written during the Antiochus' persecution against the Jews about 164 BCE. So, the above verse was cleverly written to justify the appearance of a book which was unknown, although the author dishonestly lies by falsely foreseeing events of the Antiochus moment, as they were written in the sixth century.
Note also that the "time of the End" was the troubling time of the Antiochus persecution.
after severe pressure from my family, i have decided to attend to the nearest kh.
and a little history regarding my self: i became inactive and lost completely contact of the wt changes and "new light" 17 years ago.. everything seemed so odd and strange during the meeting.
latest technology, animated movies, watchtower web tv, a website that you can download everything, including km and wt study articles.
with some 30,000 different christian denominations, how would one know which one was for real?
some folks think jesus did start a church, others think no.
the disdain which the wtbts / gbojw has for higher education is well known among jw's and jw dissenters.
the specious rationale for such disdain is also well known.
however, it is a fact that there is no scriptural authority for..... a) prohibiting education at any level for another person.
The elder of the last congregation I attended, said that those who go to the university are disloyal to Jehovah.
This stupid implicit Watchtower's ban is intended to minimize the number of thinkers in the congregations.
The university does not ensure success, but it instructs the student to think and to analyse information.
i have been reading in facebook that there is a new society's order for destroying all documents concerning cases of pedophilia in all congregations.
is it true that the elders have received such an order?
?
It seems that the information is coming from this source:
