  Did any of you head off to University after leaving the org

  one of my biggest regrets is not getting a degree, due to the jw brain-washing against higher education.

  i feel a strong sense of never having reached my academic potential and having been restricted in many ways by this.

  i was a high achiever at high school + some teachers were bemused that i never went on to varsity.

  7th day adventists

  2. friends

  can anyone direct me to a good website or thread on here that talks about any spin-off groups after they officially accepted the trinity doctrine, in the early 1980's i think, in order to join the world council of churches.

  was there any fragmentation in the 7th day adventists when this happened?

  any help would be appreciated.

  Why don't elders drop off the mags?

  by yaddayadda in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why is it that there is no arrangement for 'faders' and those who stop going to meetings to at least keep getting the magazines.

  why don't the local elders or pioneers even bother to drop them in our letterboxes?

  it amazes me how much time is devoted to methodically cold-calling with magazines in the door-to-door work, but no methodical arrangement exists for inactive ones.

  w01 1/15 overseers

  and ministerial servants theocratically appointed .

  14 while bodies of elders share with traveling overseers in recommending brothers to serve as elders and ministerial servants, the actual appointments are made according to the pattern set in the first century.
