WTS vs Quotes: Requiem for a Research Web Site

by Quotes in

in compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".

the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).

my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.

WT Against Higher Education...Again

by Jeannine in

the october 1, 2005 watchtower slams higher education in a 5 page analysis on why it is better to pioneer than go to college.

i recieved this wt today and i was shocked by the statements in there.

i can fax a copy to anyone who wants it.

Full-circle college-demonizing article for sure. Any "good standing" JW will come away with more inner conflict on what they should do:

Full Time Service? (Good)

Go to College (Watch Out! Snares, Temptations and Traps!)

What you'll never read in these articles is the realistic aspects of higher education:

• College/degree fulfilling career does not equal materialism.

• REAL percentage of FT Pioneers who actually stick with it while earning enough in their usually menial jobs to pay their bills and not rely on others.

• College/degree often equals higher wages so publishers can work one decent job instead of 2 or 3 PT no/benefit jobs.

• College/degree often allows person a career field choice they are interested/find fulfillment in.

• Benefits of taking classes, learning to deal with others.

• College/degree professionals are often sought-after for Bethel priveleges.

WT: Full-time Service is the BEST thing you can do with your life! But you're on your own managing your finances and insurance to do so. And should you fall into hard times because of your choice to further our organization, you're on your own too!
