Andy's I'm like you. I went to an aerospace school and was told by my councilers to consider the airforce and college.
Of course I declined just think we could be retired from the service and working on our 2nd career SMDH!

The Problem with the problem
by Terry injehovah's witnesses have an invisible problem which is as unseen as jesus.
the problem with their problem is that it is unseen.. what do i mean by this?.
no future.. the future jehovah's witnesses prepare for is not their future at all.. the jw future is armageddon (very soon!

What benefit is all the power of people's lives to the Governing Body?
by TimothyT inif the 7 million jw's mindlessly follow the governing body (which the majority do), of what benefit is it to the governing body?
that power over people's lives is nothing to boast about in my books.
i conclude that the only reason they so desire this power is because it brings money, authority and security to them.

Already happened. Back in the 90's there was a shake up in how the society operates as a business. It used to be that at least one of the GB sat on the commitee's of the main corporate boards (I believe there are 4 corporations that the WT$ use.) This was changed in the late 90's early oughts to distance the GB from these legal corps (and IMO distance them from lawsuits.) Now the corporations are free of GB guidance and the system can just keep running.
Since freddy died and we are now deep in the 2000's I dont think they even care about WT dogma or any true guidance of the organization. Its just a matter of keeping the bethel/watchtower machine moving and everyone thats put in there time (bethel heavies) getting their little piece.
Another thing that keep the machine moving is all the people at Bethel who are waiting their turn. You see bethel is a place where you serve to rule eventually. When I was there I saw all these 15-20+ year cats who were just waiting till they could weild some form of 'power' and ironically lord it over other bethelites or those in the congo.
There is no way these dudes are going to let the machine stop with out them have their day.

This is my opinion based on what Ive seen and come to know. Its all about the system or machine at this point!
Knor perfected a machine that rutherford created (I believe that russel started an Idea that rutherford turned into a movement.) Knorr fashioned a system that could carry on in perpetuity (sp and trying to use big words) Even with franz crackpot ideas knor made sure that the system itself would continue. Look at his moves to reduce the power of president after he died and the creation of the governing body to share power and decisions.
Now I feel the system is firmly in the hands (and guidance) of the law department. Thus we see the changes to get the GB off the rulling boards and isolated from the corporation.

Being A Jehovah's Witness is Simply A Waste Of Time!!!
by minimus ini hope that if any witness sees this thread, they understand that being a witness = being a time waster.. please understand this.
if you don't believe me, i'm sure others here will agree.. if you can salvage any of your time that is left, do it!
get out of this false religion.

Do JW Organization Mistakes Matter?
by InterestedOne inafter reading what concerned jw has to say, i gather that for him, if the jw organization is currently making any mistakes, those mistakes do not matter and are not worth naming, not even one.
i am completely baffled by this and would like to understand why a person would take this position.
concerned jw, can you please explain why you take this position?

Was discussing this with a friend and I really believe it all comes down to 1914.
CTR struck lightning in a bottle with that (despite there were several dates before that were false.)
With WW1 coming in 1914 that gave them legitamitcy(sp) Than thanks to JFR they were able to attach all sorts of BS onto that spark. My friend was saying how his mother was badgering how she just knows its the truth cause since 1914 mankind has perfected weapons and killing and how thats proof that the society is right.
IMO thats why they will never get rid of 1914 because its the only one they got right.

Why Some Cannot "See" that the Bible is NOT the Word of God
by AGuest into the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace.
some of you may have recently observed some discussions regarding what... or rather, who... the word of god is, truly.
in those and other threads, some participants weren't able to grasp the difference between discussion vs. contention... and defending their own faith... and love of god and christ... vs. ramming their [mis]assumptions as to the "vengeance of god"... down others' throats.
