The first thing I passed on, before I even actually started my Bible Study with someone, was a recruitment offer from the CIA.

How Being a Witness made you Lose out on Higher Education and Careers
by flipper inhi, folks.
been thinking of this, because of having been raised in the witnesses.
i reflect back on opportunities i would have encountered and seized, had it not been for being controlled by the witness organization being told higher education was not needed.

I was an MS zealot, if I had to pick a category.
They are indeed running short of people in ANY of those categories who want to do it. There are people at my hall who purposefully got under double-digit hours in service every few months so that they would not qualify as easily for MS appointment. -

Sept. KM QB. Endorse vs. Approve. Tempest in a teapot?
by Open mind ini think this horse is nearing unconsciousness, but i'll beat it a few more times.
the whole sept 07 kingdom ministry question box hinges around the word "endorse", imho.. some apologists are saying, "hey this is not a big deal.
the f&d slave isn't saying they don't "approve" of jws doing these things, they're just saying that they don't officially, publicly, "endorse" them.

Excellent post. I am sure there is a clinical term or phrase used to describe the psycho-social manipulation they are using:
"Well, we aren't giving it a thumbs up, and WE ARE THE BOSSES, but do what you want."
The pressure is there to view the situation in the SAME light as the GB/FDS does. It is the nature of the relationship. -

Clarification:
I didn't think I was expressing/displaying any DISLOYALTY to the Society, since they were supposed to be presenting the Truth.
I thought that's what they ultimately cared about.
For you Bethel spies and others who are reading: it's NOT. -

I knew the Society was wrong about the angels marrying Scripture, and I told someone so in service. I actually didn't know it was wrong to say something against the Society. The born-in-the-truth drone said to wait on the organization. I said I refuse to believe something I know is not true.
The Society corrected their view in the mid-90s, as you know. But that was my start of being "bad." -

What is your personal definition of evil?
by fedorE inhow do you see evil in general?
recently a book i came across people of the lie by a well known psychologist m. scott peck discussed evil and evil in some of his patients.
to him any harm whatsoever inflicted on another person is evil and a mental illness that can be cured.
