having been "born" into the wts, my dad, of course, tried to get me to focus on a "future" in the borg.. when i was choosing a high school to attend, i settled on the new york school of printing, mainly because i had a few jw friends who were attending, and we grew up together.. when i made this choice, my dad suggested that if i wanted to learn about printing, i should set bethel as my goal after school.. i remember his words clearly, "you will learn all you need to know about printing @ bethel", implying that the wts were the real experts.. how happy i am that i never heeded that advice.

as i see it, i would have learned how to print propaganda and live @ slave wages.. dont get me wrong, i do print propaganda, but i make a pretty good living at it.

everyone who prints is trying to sell somethng, lol, but why should i live as a pauper selling someone else's crap.. so, any examples of wts career "advice" that you didn't heed, even while a faithful borg drone?.

Fred, like I said, much of printing is SOME kind of advertisement for products or services, thats why i say its largely propaganda.
Besides, the AFAKE and SCRAPTOWER mags are the leading candidates for the wholesale slaughter of innocent trees.

Mormon Pedophile Case in Oregon

by Amazing in

jw
friends

hello everyone: when i was in oregon i obtained a copy of the portland, oregonian with the front page headline about the mormon church being ordered to surrender 25 years worth of records to the court regarding pedophiles.. while i was visiting the ex-mormon forum, i saw a post by a person named cheryl who made some comments about this case, and i felt it was worth your attention:.

cheryl: "there have been several threads about the current sex abuse case going on in oregon now.

all of the articles and threads point out that the church may have to open its books to pay punitive damages in this case.

Having been "born" into the WTS, my dad, of course, tried to get me to focus on a "future" in the BORG.
When I was choosing a high school to attend, I settled on the New York School of Printing, mainly because I had a few JW friends who were attending, and we grew up together.
When I made this choice, my dad suggested that if I wanted to learn about printing, I should set Bethel as my goal after school.
I remember his words clearly, "you will learn all you need to know about printing @ Bethel", implying that the WTS were the REAL experts.
How HAPPY I am that I never heeded that advice. As I see it, I would have learned how to print propaganda and live @ slave wages.
Dont get me wrong, I DO print propaganda, but I make a pretty good living at it. Everyone who prints is trying to sell somethng, LoL, but why should I live as a pauper selling someone else's crap.

So, any examples of WTS career "advice" that you didn't heed, even while a faithful BORG drone?

A Message for You Know

by troubled in

i read your message, as well as the messages from the others.

i will give all of the comments i received thoughtful and prayerful consideration.

including yours.. however, i think maybe you didn't read my postings carefully enough before responding.

Hi Troubled
You DO have a responsibility to see for yourself, as did the Boereans, whether the things you have learned are indeed true.
YK, as usual, spews mindless drivel instead of dealing with the person behind the problem.
Troubled, you are doing a service to yourself, as well as to JAH himself by seeing to your own emotional and spiritual health.
Stay the course and find the answers you seek.

When Death Leaves You All Alone.

by Englishman in

jw
friends

i've just had a really interesting chat with my nearest and dearest.. .

we were talking about the fact that when one of us dies the other will be left alone.

we agreed that the surviving one should be able to talk about the deceased one without adopting a holy sepulchral voice and that both our spoken and remembered memories of each other will be full of fun and laughter.. we also agreed that the surviving mate would want to build a new life, take on fresh interests and travel the world as much as possible.

BoozeRunner

Englishman,
Wonderful sentiments. I wish I'd had such an outlook b4 my wife passed away. It took several years until I was able to embrace our former life together, and not focus so much on my loss.
TY for such soud advice.
