what is the current stance on this issue?
i've heard of a lot of ms who were going to university, and yet i've never heard of that being the case for elders.
someone on this board also mentioned recently that they knew of man who was denied appointment as an elder despite otherwise excellent qualifications because he was a college student.
Judah Ben.....oh where oh where has he and Amber gone!!
Last seen in the Atlanta area giving a talk at an assembly!
Judah Ben graduated in 2006 with a Bachelors in Gen Studies, he had registered in liberal arts after that but then he disappeared off my radar...
Anyone know how I can get his pic on a milk carton!!!
(nah I am joking, I hope he and Amber are able to fade off.....wish them the best and lots of normalcy......would hate to see him treated as Malcolm was treated)

Possible -- Yes!
Probable -- No!
Depends on the politics....
The Kingdom School comments/outline was based on the CO Outline from 2008 (see thread discussion below)
i am new to this site, just finding my way around.. i've been studying with jw's for about 15 months.
i'm an unbaptised publisher, and until recently never missed a meeting, have been out "on the service" quite a lot.
i've been having difficulties with one of the jw's studying with me and something happened which was just unacceptable.
If and when they do another it will be passed out at the DC or it will be announced and copies can be obtained from Lit Servant....OR you can just wait and one of us will have link access.....
okay last post from the KH ladies room.....cya in a few hours!
in the thread about the wt in russia, maze made the assertions below.. .
jehovah's witnesses as an organization acts as a protection to the family unit.
andthe lie that jehovah's witnesses ruin families is apostate poison.. to aviod derailing that thread, i ask maze to defend them here.. my experience is that the jw religion destroyed my brothers' marriage.
I now have a chicken named Alice.
OMG.... I DO TOO!!!!!!
....but it was a case of chicken version of testicular feminization.... 'she' Alice the hen became a Alice the Rooster....

Most of my siblings and several of my cousins were raised in the organization and later left. I don't try and force my beliefs on them and vice-versa. We rarely even talk about religion.
Rachel-Alice Maze,
And what about that Aunty of yours....????

lol the 'Reasoning Book'
Sry .... I hate that book now.... it is 3 generations old! (1995 wicked, 2008 anointed, 2010 overlap)
Talk about a publishing company being 'cheap' and wanting to squeeze every last penny out of a publication....
john 8:42-47 (niv 2008).
42 jesus said to them, "if god were your father, you would love me, for i came from god and now am here.
43 why is my language not clear to you?
Although JWs do lie and may justify lying with “Theocratic Reasoning” or “Theocratic Strategy”,
Okay..... let me set you straight here...... 'strategy' isn't taught at great lenghts like it was DECADES ago (I learn it as part of the 1975 mania)
I highly doubt majority of JWs (R&F) who came in after 1983 could even tell what the term meant or that we advocated the practice.
Majority of JWs have cognitive dissonance...
Majority of JWs have little knowledge of WTS History beyond whitewashed versions.
Majority of JWs at a door are simply eager to feel worthy and aren't intentionally lying to anyone but themselves.
While the WTS might be intentionally deceptive majority of JWs are not.
I get your JW experience but since you have never been a JW please do not try and apply broad application on subjects in which you have limited knowledge and experience.
That girl liked you but she has internal conflict due to the WTS......heck PM me her number and I will see if I can't wake her up for you!
here is the promised debate.
the subject is whether or not god has an organization.
i'll start things simply:.
Just a thought....(an uneducated one at that regarding 1st century Xians)
Wouldn't they have been a bit more similar to Russell's way of organizing? The Ecclesias were independent and used WT material, whereas the 1st cen xians were independent and used letters or oral renditions of Christ's teachings and stories of his life.
When a traveling person came to town they would hear what he had to say and go from there....
Beyond that I would like to think that SF has a job and in his off-hours time allotted for web-activity is forumlating a well-thought out response after thoroughly researching and mediatating on the stuff yall presented.
Huggles yall!
two of mine are named tina.. i don't know the names of the others.. do you know yours?.
syl.
Frances-Jane, Minnie, Clora and Katherine
(to be fair to G-Gpa's.... Charles, Arbie, Jacob and Joseph)

I suppose it must be a shock to find out that I am the Sister sitting a row away from you at the Hall.
My highlighting and notation is perfect.
I turned in twice the amount of time during April's campaign!
My monthly hours are always above average too!
I am one of YOU!

Take your time, head butt where you need to but above all 'make sure all things'!
