I remember sisters who had several pairs of expensive boots, always wearing them with skirts that showed their knees.
Bitchezz!
this morning's wt study almost made me vomit, stand up, pick up my bag and rush to the door.. of course it never happened.
instead, i was able to make some nice drawings on my tablet and notepad.. if you replace the name jehovah with watchtower, or the governing 8 men, it would really make sense.. what's up with all that nonstop guilt-mongering about education and having a decent job?!.
most people look down on the uneducated, and i remember, when i didn't have a job, nobody cared!.

if i knew then what i know now, i might never have disassociated myself.
i realize all i can do is speculate on what could have been.
however, when i consider the number of people i might have been able to help by dropping little thought-provoking seeds, i really regret having jumped to the decision to disassociate so quickly.. ive read the accounts of several people on this forum telling of how stressful it is to be in the position that i just described above.
my story is long, heart stopping, tragic, and puzzling.
since i posted what was said to be my last post, i received a private message which sparked my attention about the watchtower.
immediately i did research, and have found not only proof from outside sources, but the watchtower openly admitting it.
Pull up a chair and stay awhile.
paragraph 1 & 2:.
we all enjoy life even now due to jehovah's tender mercies, for if it were not for his slowness to anger all humans would not have lived into this 21st century of out common era.
even those crippled severly cling to life thus demonstrating the will of humans to live even in adversity.
With a little tweaking, this could be a genuine Watchtower article.
it says on page 1 par.
3 in the q&a item.
"where people belong to a non-christian religion, or to no religion at all, it may be better to mention the bible on a return visit, rather than at the outset.
All religions and organizations with something to sell have a vested interest in prioritizing what they tell you in the first instance.
But JWs pride themselves on being different from all other religions.
after a live 3 hour performance, the "american idol" winner tweets,.
"glory to god tonight...i couldn't be more proud.
what a tough thing to pull off and we did it!
The stage version may have come first, but many more people know and love the movie version, far more than ever saw the stage version. I was commenting that, for some people, that might be why they didn't like this version of The Sound Of Music.
Exactly, Lisa. We watched it last night and it was enjoyable for what it was.
i would like to show my friend that the watchtower change their mind all the time about higher education over the years.
they usually discourage higher education as we all know that.
i would like to show him the wt quotes.
I recently reconnected with a JW I used to babysit for. One child has gotten a law degree (when past 40) and another became a pilot, both still faithful to the WTS.
The family is wealthy and well-positioned in the congo, so I doubt they would have been censured by the BoE.
especially if you are a teacher, how did you learn about it to begin with?
was there a common core rep doing a slick presentation?.
how do those of you with kids on school feel about, among others, things such as the deemphasis on the great works of literature ?.
I am not setopping at the talking points,
See, I don't know what this means.....?

Just thinking....my grandparents didn't think I'd see my Senior Year in High School. I'm starting a college fund for mine..
Heh, heh......coming to terms with the fact that life will go on after us.............we have college funds for 6 grandkids.........fortunately (or whatever) Mr Bee did not have kids of his own so we can be generous to mine........I just hope there is a world for them to enjoy when the time comes.........
