In 1975 I dropped out of high school in 11th grade in order to pioneer. that did not work out. Also, I have moderate scoliosis which could have been corrected during my teen age years while my spine was still growing. Now it's too late.

How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?
by Julia Orwell ini'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.
as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?
surely education should come first.

nicolaou, we in the United States are slowly but surely headed in that direction. It's only a matter of time before we get to where India and China are. -

cappytan:
"If you're on Birth Control, make sure and check with your doctor. SJW can lower the effectiveness of certain birth control."That reminds me that all herbal or pharmaceutical products should not be taken by women who are either pregnant or could possibly become pregnant. It's very easy to harm a fetus as they are more vulnerable to any chemical, pharmaceutical or herbal medicine that adults. -

Jonathan Drake:
"The only time the master kept the wife and kids is when he was the one who provided the wife, and the slave didn't bring his wife originally."
And what happened to the woman who did not have a seven year limit like the men did. And the children who could be kept as slaves - for how long even if it's a child? The age of seniority? Indefinitely?

Yes, we're all wage slaves. And it will get worse with Republicans in power. We may see the day when workers will be sleeping in crowded dorms provided by their employers and eating expired food from supermarkets in order to justify paying them wages so low that they will not be able to rent. China already has those. -

Vidqun: "If you attempted to liberate a Roman slave,..."
I did not say that Christians should be liberating the slaves of non-Christians, I simply said that they could have told a person wanting to become a Christian that they had to liberate their own slaves as a precondition to joining the Christian community. That would not effect the Roman empire at all since slave masters had the right to liberate their own slaves.

The god of the bible doesn't care and here's some proof.
by Crazyguy inaround 600 ad a man named muhammed created a book called the quran.
a few hundred years later the followers of this new religion called islam went on a holy crusade out of arabia to spread their religion.
in one key battle they were met by the ruling government army and were out numbered at least by 3 to 1. they could of easily lost and if god would of made sure of this most likely thier religion would of stayed an insagnificant religion of just arabia.

Crazyguy: "...i have never read that the Muslims viewed jesus as the Messiah. Ill have to research this.."
No, Muslims do not consider Jesus to be a messiah. They just have a role for him to play in their eschatological writings.
