a few weeks ago there were a couple of threads about the wts and higher education, and some stated that judah ben schroeder (son of the late governing body member al schroeder) was attending law school at columbia university.
i got an e-mail from a very reliable source today about some inaccuracies in those threads.
here are some quotes from the e-mail, which the writer asked me to share anonymously on jwd:
Cruzenheart,
Good Post on the educational angle.
Judah Ben was born in 1958. That makes this year is 48th year.
It does seem strange that an organization that has all but condemned higher education is probably involved deeply in the education of JB.
I agree totally with Nina. He is being groomed to become the new Jesus Christ of the Watchtower. He will personally lead the org into the United Nations New World Order.

wts wants only "company men.
i am still in, but guess what?
compassion, caring, ministering--- all the things that i thought i was called to do as a christian, as a sheperd---- no one really wants those things.
Yes, indeed. WTS wants only "Company Men." I know. I used to be one of them. I am still in, but guess what? Compassion, caring, ministering--- all the things that I thought I was called to do as a Christian, as a sheperd---- NO ONE really wants those things. Instead they want CONFORMITY. UNQUESTIONING OBEDIENCE. The flock? What is the flock? We want EFFICEINCY!
Reasoning on the Scriptures? That surely is a joke coming from WTS HEadquearters, since NO ONE is ALLOWED to REASON on the Scriptures, only PARROT what the WTS says the Scriptures are.
THE END IS IN SIGHT---- FOR THE WTS.
Great post Zack! You got the point made! Brant
this angel has helped so many of us find information and contacts.
could you alone have found answers so quickly, or answers so accurate??.
this girl is a goddess.. are you sending her love now?.
Hip, Hip Hooray for Blondie,
If the WTS had someone like you working for them they wouldn't be so screwed up.
Brant
as another jwd poster pointed out, blondie (debbie harry) is a redhead.
so i updated my avatar.. .
i think i'm looking pretty good considering i'm not longer a young chick but a 60-year-old broad.. http://www.deborahharry.com/.

hi guys, im new here and im christian (though trying to read the bible for what it is instead of looking to preacher all the time.
) anyway, i have a dilemma.
im 26 right now.
CLOUD,
In my days as a JW Elder, I gave a talk a bunch of times that had some great Bible references to sinners that you might benefit from.
King Manasseh, killed his firstborn, killed prophets of Jehovah such as Isaiah, (had him stuffed in a hollow log and then had the log sawed in two.
King David, responsible for the death of 70,000 on one occasion of disobedience. Another time killed a man and took his wife.
King Solomon, made political alliances with the nations around him by marrying hundreds of women.
Lot, got drunk a few times and had his way with his daughters.
Peter, denied Christ.
Paul and Barnabas had a good fight.
On and On.
If you continue to feel so bad about your sins, which appear to be very minor, you need to do one of two things, 1. Develop faith in God and his loving Son, Christ Jesus and understand that he died for you, or 2. Go see a shrink.
Welcome to the board.

i've been feeling bad the last few days... like a bad cold.
*** cough - cough - sniff *** .
on thursday i went to my doctor and she ordered a ct scan of my sinuses.
Too much booze at the apostafest.
Hope you get well,
Brant
so i was invited to an assembly by my jw teacher .
i think i will be pretty bored and feel out of place.
it is a 3 day assembly this summer and the jw said they were to invite everyone (interested).
Oh yeah,
Ask her how many times she has acutally read the Bible through.--Cover to cover.
She will twist in the wind on that one, but if you pin her down, my bet is that she never has.

IFTNP--
If you are 17 and want to ruin your life, I would go with her. The assembly will be impressive, and look like it is a serious group of Bible loving people, but at heart, they aren't.
It is a dysfunctional mess. Ask your teacher about the WT teachings and conduct with the UN.
Ask your teacher about how much of your life will be fair game for the elders if you become one of them.
Ask your teacher how many of the young ones go to college.
Ask your teacher if the young ones are moral or if they get into quite a bit of trouble.
Ask your teacher what it means to live a double life.
Ask your teacher what Jesus really means to her. She won't be able to answer your without changing the subject to Jehovah, or his organization. She'll wind it up by telling you all about the 'faithful and discreet slave'.
Run like hell.

i've been a lurker for a few weeks and finally threw my hat into the ring a few days ago.
i've been out of the org for almost 30 years.
the whys and wherefores can wait for another time.
The only thing good I can say right now about having been one of JW's is that I learned the hard way that 'religion is a snare and a racket', including theirs.
