AHHH.
Does anyone like star trek ?
This seems to be a classic Kobayashi Maru situation.

Elder's WIFE in college!
by hardhearted ini bet this is different than a minor child in college... i can only hope that the new information from the co will cause a lot of jw's and elders to scratch their heads and consider what exactly is going on here.
if this information causes an exodus of elders... that is very good.
imagine, an elder being removed because his wife is in college.

she proceeded to ask about my childhood, etc.
and i had to spill the beans on my jw background (i usually keep this to myself!

several years ago I traveled over three hours each way to attend the funeral of a good friend. The CO gave the talk, and I was just astounded at the way that the whole talk was an info-commercial for the JW's. The person who died was just an after thought.

I also heard an interesting comment last week.
An elders son who recently graduated from HS was offered a complete scholarship to a well known Illinois University's medical school.
He turned it down and the reason he did this was because he might have to order blood transfusions for patients,( so,, he would rather pioneer! )
After reading all the posts regarding higher education, I am beginning to understand that his parents no doubt guided him away from college, and to look toward pioneering.
The kid is very bright, but I wonder how long he will put up with this BS over the years.
What as total waste of a young mind, it sickens me to see people ( dad is an elder, mom is a pioneer) put their positions in this religion above their childrens welfare !!

Has there been any new development with this idea, or could it just be a rumor ?

Strange leaders in the hall?
by lancelink ini was thinking about an ms from my hall in the early 90's.. he worked as little as possible, never made an effort to live up to the standards that the wt states are for any ms, but his brother was the service overseer, (the good old boys club.
in action ) and he had some of the most amazing,weird theories!.
out in service he would tell everyone how the us government was preparing holding areas for anyone who questioned the government.. sort of like the japanese camps from ww 2.. did you just see a black helicopter ??

Did you just see a black helicopter ?? That is one of the signs proving my story he would say.
There was a divoriced single sister (32) who married a mentally disturbed young boy at the hall (18)
She got DFed, pregnant, and divoriced all within one year,
her dad was a millionare he paid the guy something like 40,000 to leave and never come back,,,,man what a story that was!
Anyway, I was out in service once with her, and she saw a helicopter, she pulled off the road, got on the floor with her kids, started crying and babbled on about "there coming to get us now, the end is almost here.
( I was thinking more about the song from the 60's" their coming to take me away he he to the funny farm.)
Anyway, this upstanding brother gets df'ed and was totally immersed in his theories the last I heard

One PO stated that we should NEVER EVEN think about watching the movie Schindlers List,
( since it was R, and many people were curious about it because many of the situations in the movie actually happened to witnesses.)
I remember some yearbook and wt stories that were 10 times more graphic than the movie ever was.
Nope, JW's should not see it.
I went with my wife the next day in broad daylight to see it.

by lancelink ini have been following the wt's latest stand on higher education.. yet it seems that i am hitting statementsoff and on under different topics/.
this latest bit of news i find to be very backwards thinking, in fact if it is true it would hasten my fade considerably, since i really believe.

Some solid info. here would be mighty helpful !
And if so,does anyone have an estimate as to any timeline as to when would this be broadcast to the everyday witnesses?
