Is Higher education strongly discouraged in 2007 district convention?

by dark angle in

today in our rehersal, i met with our district convension overseer.

he told us that college or higher education is now strongly discouraged by the society.

i argued that such policy is not practical here in the philippines since most jobs now require some sort of college education unlike in other countries where there are demands on skills regardless on educational attainment.

It takes the extreme that college is about partying all the time

If you party all the time, you won't pass your exams! [darn retards!]

Wilma & Willy Watchtower, the continuing parody (please add to it if you li

(narrator: wilma and willy are out in the field service four days before christmas) .

willy says: well," because of all these christmas lights on these houses if armageddon came now it would be easy for gods destroyers to find the unworthy ones who will be eaten at the great evening meal of god.

wilma says: oh", yes willy and just think of all the nice houses we can choose from to inhabit once those who opposes the society are killed off, just thinking about the possibility of having my pick of all these nice homes makes me more anxious for the battle to come.. .

One More Reason Not to Book Hotel on WT List

by WTWizard in

although i don't know this as a fact, i suspect that the wts is negotiating some pretty lucrative rebates from these hotels (which of course the rank and file jw pays) because they can guarantee a full house at $xxx per night.

this came from last year's thread about the rooming department km insert, and will almost certainly apply this year.

but, when the watchtower society negotiates with hotels, they are not having difficulties negotiating just for the price that you, the attendee, pay.

the instruction again to book only within the "recommended lodging list"

That's something I never quite understood. Why not just let people stay wherever they were most comfortable? The Society should just count their lucky stars that people are arranging to attend those ~~time wasters~~ Conventions in the first place!

I always believed there was something in it for them.

Might make the announcement

may make the dreaded announcement to my super righteous, super loyal parents next week that i'm not going anymore.. problem is, as you all know, they "really" believe that it's tantamount to my killing their grandchildren.

.

pretty tough decision because i think they kind of get the vibe already!

Our thoughts are with you. This must be really hard to do, but it must be done. You'll feel much better afterwards.

Balanced!!!

by barbar in

the witnesses often talked about being balanced, but usually that meant do less of what you wanted and more "theocratic" things.

in fact if you spent 100% of your waking time in the ministry you would probably be viewed as a balanced person.. come to think of it witnesses are very unbalanced or extreme in their views.. any examples of how they are unbalanced?.

after 2 hours of meeting, then meeting for service, go make a few return visits before you eat lunch.

Sure looks like a formula for skipping lunch if you ask me. What, does the CO want people to be fainting on the streets from hunger pangs? You must get up early to get ready for the 9:30 am meeting anyway. Now he's advising that you go on return visits before having lunch? That would make it dinner!

perhaps it was "love at first sight", but then you get to know him/her more intimately and realize your goals and amitions couldn't be further apart.

not that he/she isn't a good person ... just not right for you.

the physical attraction is real, but issues that are important to you pale into insignificance in his/her mind.

Frequent_Fader_Miles

I knew we would both end up miserable eventually, so I ended it and walked away. He took that as me not caring, yet it was because I cared that I walked.

Sweetstuff, it must taken all your strength and courage to walk away. I admire that, especially since you were viewed as uncaring because of your decision.

If this is all about you, I wish you luck, and love.

Thanks for your best wishes momz. I'm accepting them even though this topic's not about me. I've already found luck in love, and am happily married.

My husband would've gotten rid of me long ago if we weren't compatible enough to have a relationship. Very early on we both agreed that games belong on the playground ... not in relationships.

I think alot had to do with growing up and all the changing you do anyway

How true! Being fickle, not knowing what you want out of life makes it quite difficult to be sure of what to accept and what to overlook.

People who want to change somebody are never happy, they skip from one relationship to another and finally end up alone or feeling 'alone' in a relationship they've got.

I wonder how long it usually takes to realize this? I like the way you phrased it.
