June 2016 WT (study edition) Bashing Higher Education....AGAIN!
by ToesUp inparagraph 14: .
"this means that we need to examine our heart constantly to see if it is being enticed by worldly entertainment, associations, and styles of dress and grooming.
or the love of the world might involve efforts to attain “great things,” such as through the pursuit of higher education.

Please, please stop bashing the WT over their lovely counsel to avoid the so called "higher education".
Please, pay attention to the following sound counsel and you will see why it is so wise to not pursue the so called "higher education":
"Therefore as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and thinking about a college career, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on its way towards its finish, if not actually gone." (Awake! 1969 May-22 p.15)
BS straight from the horse's mouth.

Some gems from the "Anointed" WT study
by NotBlind ini know this has been discussed before, but i think some of these wacky (but thought-provoking) comments deserve their own thread.. paragraph 6 says: modestly, anointed ones acknowledge that they do not necessarily have more holy spirit than those with an earthly hope.
they do not claim to have special knowledge or revelations; neither do they try to prove that they are in some way superior.
somebody needs to send this memo to the gb.

to attain “great things,
The WT/JW/GB/Super 7 always are trying to make you believe that if you want higher education you want a super car, yatch, an island, a big house. When in reality regular people do not pursue this things.

"Simply put, by means of his holy spirit, God makes it clear to that person that he is invited to become a future heir in the Kingdom arrangement."
So, why the same Holy Spirit does not make it clear that you are NOT invited to become a future heir in the Kingdom arrangement? How let Christians be so confused about their calling?

Why does Tony Morris claim that his time in the Vietnam War gives him experience that will be useful in destroying 7 billion people when he reigns from heaven? I
WTF?! Did he said that??
We should also resist the urge to quiz spouses of anointed ones about how they feel knowing that they will live without their mate in the future earthly Paradise.
Why can't we ask them questions? (If I can ask somebody with an earthly hope what would they like to do in paradise, why can't I ask questions to somebody that is going to be in heaven?*
*Disclaimer: I dont' believe in this crap.

Wow the contrast is nuts. The Mormons sound like a mature bunch doing their religion thing. The JW's sound like desperate freaks losing their grip.
Yeap.

Hello all,
I will like people on this forum and lurkers to see the big different between JWs and other religion. Following you will see the program from the upcoming Distric/Regional 2016 convention. Look at the topics that are going to be discussed. Taken as a whole, is one big OBEY US! and really depressed program to sit and listen to. (I copied this from the depressedsoul's earlier topic).
Where am I getting? keep reading down there and you will see a sample of the Mormon's program form their 2015 conference. In no way I am endorsing the Mormons. I just want to point out the difference of topics. Read and see.

My New Thoughts on Adam and Eve (don't laugh)
by xjwsrock inwarning for those that are still believers... this train of thought will not be faith strengthening.... i have come a long way since first stumbling on crumbs of ttatt in 2012.
(i have not come nearly as far with the wife unfortunately, but such is life.
) my critical thinking ability, thankfully, is in another stratosphere since figuring out i was a jw lab rat.

lol god had to have created bad to have it to be done.
This. When you think about it, Genesis goes down the drain.
And what proof or scripture(s) does WT have that God communicated with Adam in human language?
They spoke English. Don't you know? The official language in WT land.
