  I remember hearing that. Im currently in college (and by default an active JW). NO!!! Its not the same, college is about resilience, hard-work, SELF motivation, independence, and most of all CRITICAL THINKING. WTS publications do not encourage this. Only hard-work is for the furthering of Jehovah kingdom WTS membership! Fear is motivator, along with guilt. And most of all college is more than reading random articles about how to live your life and regurgitating facts and information for a pat on the back after the watchtower. Research does not involve using only one, biased, source. Now that I think about it.....I laugh whenever a "well-meaning" borg. member says something so stupid.

  I've been stumbled.

  by silent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just realized that all these dates that the borg have said the end would come on or by and then it didn't happen, have stumbled me.

  why such a fascination and trying to divine the answer from scripture when scripture plainly says only the father knows the day and the hour?

  by their predictions, they actually sent many christians on the path of date-based worship insted of faith-based worship.. if they have stumbled me, then who is reponsible for that?.

  hi everyone, im begining to notice patterns of mental issues in the congregations and among the witnesses as a group.

  do you think this is a trend in the entire world or is it exagerated in this organization?.

  Funny thing, here in Atlanta Anthony Morris mentioned how they threw a letter away about stockpiling food. They all are using a manuscript talk it appears.

  9. Wow, I was 11. Im 19 now and then I only wanted to do what I felt was right. At that age your ability to reason isn't developed. But ofcourse you are not supposed to reason as a JW. Only obey and go and make converts with people and convince them that JWs are mainstream christian with the only real truth.
