JWs obtaining fake degrees from a US institution to teach English as a foreign language

by truthseeker in

teaching english as a foreign language in asian countries is quite popular for those looking to travel and explore and make some money.

if you have the tefl qualification you're pretty much good to go and don't need a degree.i don't know how lucrative these overseas jobs are but i do know one jw from my congregation in england who decided to move to the caribbean and teach english as a foreign language.

i'm not knocking this individual.

Not surprising about the WTS, they have a "legal" approach to their statements, a lies by the act of omission.

In the Bible, lying generally involves saying something false to a person who is entitled to know the truth and doing so with the intent to deceive or to injure him or another person. (Insight book under Lying) (Definition (not found in WT publications, I wonder why?!)Lie of omission:
What is lying by omission? Lying by omission is the deliberate act of leaving out important details so the truth is skewed or misrepresented. It's the counterpart of lying by commission, or using false direct statements)

An EASY question for JW's to start with!

by BoogerMan in

(acts 9:15, 16) but the lord said to him: “go!

(see acts 11:26).

(acts 5:40) .

Comments in the past by the WTS (reporting not supporting)(see the qualifying words or phrases, evidently, "it would appear")

2015 Evidently such nations are the product of rebellion against Christ’s administration

2015 it would appear that such “nations” are the product of rebellion against his earth-wide dominion.

Revelation book before 2015 (Note that the 2015 WT is not as dogmatic the WTS were in the Revelation book)

The Bible calls these rebels “nations in the four corners of the earth.” This does not mean that mankind will have been divided once again into mutually exclusive national entities. It merely indicates that these will separate themselves from Jehovah’s righteous, loyal ones and manifest the same bad spirit that the nations show today. T

The Synagogue of Satan

by Sea Breeze in

the governing body claims to be the ruling part of the 144k jews in revelation.

wt leaders wiped out 4-5 generations of my family, and nearly took me out as well.

i will see this injustice settled however long it takes.

Personal beliefs do NOT equal facts or evidence. (I know some will disagree)

We once had a social gathering with other jws and invited my brother-in-law to attend (not a jw). And we shown this in a publication "Some in the congregation may be inclined to invite worldly acquaintances and unbelieving relatives who have no interest in the truth to social gatherings, thinking that this will encourage them to accept the truth. However, is this wise and in harmony with the Scriptures?

We have been counseled to be cautious in our dealings with men of the nations, unbelievers, and ordinary persons. Why should we have unnecessary social contact with people who still pursue worldly ways and who have not become worshipers of Jehovah?"

The same elder who showed this to me, invited a non-jw husband of a sister to a social gathering he was sponsoring!!!
