i've noticed on this forum the big regret of alot of people seems to be that they didn't go to collage or university.. speaking as someone whose done the whole shebang, i can tell you that while yes i learnt alot at collage, uni taught me very little at all.
in fact anything i learnt i taught myself by spending hours apon hours in the uni libary, which i could have done by just getting a day pass.. my degree has not helped me in my career, i already knew how to do what i do before going to uni.
i run my own business now but i am sure that if i ever went for an employee postion my years of experiance would count far more than the bit of paper i have proving i have a degree.. getting a degree is pretty much down to knowing how to work the academic system.
your experience in life is what counts
Tell that to the thousands of JWS who worked as janitors or window washers for
most of their lives waiting for the end to come.
Unfortunately for a lot of JWS many elderly ones hadn't saved and built up a long term pension
to live off from and are now totally destitute and impoverished.
Fortunity though for the GB members they are looked after by the organization's monetary funds for the rest of their lives.
do they really have to build khs in 2 days?.
how safe are those khs?.
.
In contrast to what the JWS build there have been at least 3 new Catholic churches built in my community
that make the JWS Kingdom Halls look like warehouses or automotive garages.
And no they were not quick builds but rather million dollar beautifully constructed buildings, unlike the old churchs of past.
blood transfusions 101 for jw's-.
a blood transfusion will not save the life of a starving man = a blood transfusion is not food = a blood transfusion does not violate the ot law given by god to the jews to, "not eat blood" and that was later reiterated by the jewish christians to the gentile christians = the watchtower no-blood transfusion doctrine is a manmade abomination that kills innocent people = the watchtower society is guilty of promoting manslaughter.. .
How is it that the JW's who claim to be so versed in the Bible have never been able to make that simple connection?
The answer to that is simple, once a group of men make pompous and arrogant proclamations that they alone are god's
only chosen organization to dispel bible truths, fumbling mayhem is surely to be expected.
For most part the leaders of the WTS have never really been true bible scholars or have been trained as such,
other than their bogus Gilead school, which is just set up to propagate the WTS. teachings alone.
Bible knowledge was seemingly moderate but the power and arrogance was accurately high.

The WT can very easily turn over the blood issues into a "new light" thing and revoke the ban, just like they did with organ transplants and with blood fractions.
There would be very little back lash internally.
I would have to disagree with that assumption, for it is very well known within the long term members
how many lives were inappropriately lost due to this policy, some high ranking members
have actually lost family members due to this policy. Adding to this is the possible financial legal costs
that could be levied against the WTS. brought into the courts.
You can best assume that the WTS lawyers have had much to say regarding a potential policy reversal.

.
What's the logic behind 'Quick-build' KHs?
Keep the building costs to a minimum and its used as self supporting advertisement on
how well god's organization functions cohesively within the brotherhood.
To say that its only the JWS organization that does this is simple BS propaganda.

Isn't it against the law to encourage someone to commit suicide ?
Scarifying ones own life for their religious beliefs in devotion to their god
is still an act of suicide.
Muslim extremists essentially do the very same thing, don't they ?

Blood transfusions has become over the years more of a legal issue rather than a biblical one.
As long as this organization titles itself the JWS, there will be no change on this in the future, to do so would
pose too damaging. They are willing to admit some times that they weren't perfectly clear on some biblical ( new light , old light )
passages and their interpretations, but when as much of human life was lost as a result of this mistake, the change or reversal
would be absolutely impossible.

Isn't a JWS not accepting a blood transfusion an act of human sacrifice toward their god Jehovah ?
One of the biggest arguments that a JWS will front in support of this irrational idiocy
is they will presents the argument that blood transfusions are dangerously unhealthy,
inadvertently side stepping the fact that BT have saved millions of people lives over the decades.
They present a very dishonest representation and bias argument, but thats the motive of
spiritual warfare in how the WTS. wants its followers to behave to keep the support of
this expressive doctrine created by themselves.
I've actual heard of JWS say that , well even if the organization is wrong on this at least the individual
has a hope of resurrection to look forward to. TRUE
as a good dub i never used any four letter words (i just thought them).
its not that way anymore.
if you no longer consider yourselve a witness do you swear, curse.
Holly cow, darn, gee golly, suffering succotash.... thats as about as far as I go.
more of the latest from the june 15th " witness only " watchtower.
under the article " the faithful steward and it's governing body " there were some very telling quotes which could indicate how the wt society is tightening the control of it's members - and trying to justify more partaking of the emblems at the memorial since the numbers partaking have gone up from about 8,000 to 10,000 since they no longer feel that the sealing of the anointed ended in 1935.. so first off, notice this quote indicating the importance of elevating the governing body over the rest of the anointed around the earth.
paragraph 16 it states , " are all these anointed ones throughout the earth part of a global network that is somehow involved in revealing new spiritual truths ?
The GB or past presidents or the consecrated bullshitters in this organization, the anointed class
have spawn themselves out the BS of these people.
In other words the corporate leaders designed and created these special anointed nut bars.
The other name which could be used for these people is the " higher delusional ones ".
