Suitable careers for JW children to aim for!

by Gill in

the october the 1st watchtower has interesting views on the education of jw children.. page 30, in which one jw explains how he ended up in ft service says:.

'we did not associate with our school mates but only with those in the congregation who had good spiritual habits.'.

interesting as this shows judgmentalism and criticism 'even' in the jw congregation.. then on page 31 it explains how parents must offer their children, as early as possible, proper guidance in their choice of school subjects and vocation goals.. 'rather than choose academic subjects that are geared toward a university education, parents and children need to consider courses that are useful in pursuing a theocratic career.'.

Dune, I think it depends on what your studying that determines whether or not you get a job after your finished, and where you live as well. Where I live HVAC is a ticket to a good paying job. Some degrees get you jobs like, nursing, engineering etc... and some courses/degrees are useless, the type of courses like "pre ancient anglo saxon american studies" stuff like that in my opinon won't get you a job, but there's nothing wrong with that. The fact of the matter is that nobody should tell you what kind of job's you can and can't have, that's crossing the line. Don't murder, steal, cheat, it's in the bible, they're nice, they're protections, i'm all for them. But where in the bible does it say that you can't go to Harvard?? I'm in college and let's just say that I might as well just go out and get leprosy, cause that's how i'm treated.

JT is right on the mark when he says that the WTO has never said "don't go to college" rather they created the atmosphere of looking down on people who go to college. The more and more i think about it the more i'm coming to realize that we're following the dictates of men rather than the bible. One of our local needs was about dying hair more than one colour for men (petty eh?). Did you know that brothers shouldn't die their hair more than one colour because apparently frosting your tips started out in the gay community and we wouldn't have anything to with that.

Anyways it's two am and i'm rambling so i'll get off my soapbox now
