  Further Education - WTS ups the pressure

  by dozy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wts are upping their opposition to further education.. at our recent co visit , much of a talk on youth concerned the evils of college & university education.. the meeting of the elders & ms included a similar but harder line section , stating that the appointed men should set an example.

  the question was raised does an elder continue to qualify for his privilege if he , his wife , or his child goes to further education.

  what attitude is he showing regarding the fds stated view on this matter?.

  In response to your statement

  I've been in college for the past year (oooohhhh don't tell anyone) but taking classes online. If you do it right, you can get a 4 year degree in no time.... The tuition is dirt cheap at $2000 a semester. Check it out at www.cuny.edu/online. You can take CLEP tests that replace college credit andsave you time. I'll be getting a 4 year degree in about a year, perfectly legit....

  You get what you pay for.

  As for CLEP tests these only cover lower division classes and leave a little bit to be desired in the way of hands on labs.

  Do you think this education will allow you to sit for any accrediation exams?

  I.E. school teacher, accountant, professional engineer, or will post graduate work be allowed such as law school or med school?

  Embezeling from JW family

  by White Dove in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a family i know left the jw's two years ago, but their jw family thinks they are still in.

  the jw family insists to the point of forceful anger on paying for their convention trips every year.

  family feels trapped and cannot tell jw family that they don't go anymore because one member is powerful elder.

  The Internet, JWs and Being Told Dont Use It.

  by uwishufish in

  2. friends

  as a public school teacher and standing in front of a class room i found it a way to advocate something questionable such as a borderline tv show or the radio show of risquay djs by telling the class this was not good and they should not listen to these.

  knowing all the while the next morning on the way to school they would be listening to bob and tom in the morning.. so do any of you believe that some of the jws take being told don't use the internet is their que to open their browser?.

  Was it better to be an elder's wife, or a CO's wife?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend of mine was asking about the cult we all hold so dear, and i was explaining some of it to her.

  i told her about elder's wives, and how they have both the prestige of that position, plus the social standing.

  logically, it would be even better for a co's wife.

  There once a post on jwd about this and the jist was that the co wife was ill and made very few meetings. As a kid in the 60s the co stayed with us during the surrounding congo visits as we had a modern home with a seperate living quarters and if my memory serves me corectly the co wife would go to our meetings but missthe surrounding ones. It seems she enjoyed her chill time.

  Did you ever see acts of randomness in the congregation?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  bit of a weird title i know, but it's the best i could come up with.. acts of randomness - a speaker refusing to give a talk, a party-pooper elder going to a party, a long time servant of jah criticising the cong during wt comments.. people you thought you knew doing some completely weird or out of character.. an act of randomness could appear at the end of a talk on "widening out" when a certain someone who doesn't like you decides to say hello..

  How would you build a World from scratch?

  by edmond dantes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you ever done diy or made something from scratch and stepped back and thought something isn't quite right ,it just doesn't look right ,it doesn't work as it should and it takes days before you figure what's wrong?

  well that's how i view the concept of god as the creator.nothing adds up , the proposition just doesn't look right.maybe the stories in the bible looked right when they were first written and people accepted the bible's statements at face value, but the longer i live the more sure i am that the concept of an almighty creator as expounded in the bible just doesn't add up,it doesn't look right.there must be another explanation waiting to be discovered.. with all this in mind let us imagine what really happened right at the very beginning but try to make it logical if it is at all possible.how would you go about creating a world like ours ?
