  How Do Jehovah's Witnesses View Education?

  by southyukon in

  i have a question about this article.. https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/jw-education-school/.

  higher education can lead to moral and spiritual dangers.

  a bible proverb says: "the shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself.

  Rule No. 1 -- any org, person, who questions education is a huge red flag re/totalitarianism/authoritarianism. The cult abhors those who see right through their show biz and college teaches critical thinking skills, debate. No thinking/debate allowed in brainwashing bunkers. How many times did I hear secular people (or negatives re/those in comfy religions) weren't interested in 'truth' and only want to debate. They don't like competition thus the rigid/horrific interpretation of scripture with respect to shunning and winning JWs' time/assets. Places them in the #1 slot to inherit all of adherents' estates/properties. What a concept.

  Beth Sarim -- it's the gift that keeps on giving. Too bad it's taken this long for the JWs to 'peek' into the demons' screen.

  I was looking for your posts reading in middle of night re/Xmas and ole Rutherfraud. Now w/blurry eyes trying every sunscreen on planet earth. I might yell out if I don't find here next few min.😳

  Yes -- I think it's spelled Leoleila - obviously more than 3 syllables but that spelling doesn't look right. If I figure out I'll let ya know. I never made/had time to read. As far as I know she stopped posting moons ago, but I miss a lot of posts.

  Isaiah 40:29-31 and Being Gay

  2. experiences

  i'm new here and i have perhaps an unusual question.

  it's just something that i would like to know from ex's or formers rather than from other jehovah's witnesses.

  but i would like to know what your experience and your struggle was for former jws who were gay when they were jws.

  IW2K - yes -- all embryos are initially female -- within a short time the weaker embryos transfer to male. Strange when men are the strongest physically and have higher IQs (not saying females are not higher in some -- but generally) per the science. We'll call it old science.😂 We all should be questioning the 'science' these days. Don't remember the chemical/scientific details from psych classes decades ago.

  Oh my -- if one needs a theological education from a seminary to read/interpret the Bible that certainly negates the common plowboy (Tyndale version) and fishermen scriptures. I don't have a degree in religious studies nor well versed in the good book but hells, bells. Do recall verses or preaching😛 re/'creator' has hidden it from the wise (in their own eyes -- I like that one) and intellectual ones and revealed it to the unschooled and ordinary. Oh well, guess we with art degrees don't have to worry about this stuff.

  Kyle Becker/Wildfire Newsletter: 'Mystery Pneumonia' is Spreading Like Wildfire Throughout China -- Just in Time for 2024 Election. Wrecking havoc on Chinese schools.

  'Hospitals in Bejing and Liaoning, 500 kilometers northeast are among those overwhelmed by ill youngsters,' and school sources are "on the verge of suspension."

  Info received it's some type of pneumonia circulating in northeast (I think) China. I'll try to link source later but probably Dr. Alexander/Substack. Per author the timing is election time.
