  Watchtower's Official Policy Concerning College

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  is it official watchtower policy that an elder cannot remain an elder if he allows his children to go to college?.

  also, is it official policy that a person cannot have "privileges" or even pioneer if they are attending college?.

  if it is, can someone post scans of the official boe letters stating the watchtower policy concerning college?.

  More Misc Ramblings About Gilead

  honestly, i can't remember if i told some of this already, so if i repeat myself, please allow me this.

  i am practicing for old age..... it is now 6 years since i got the "long form" application for gilead, with over 120 questions to answer.

  5 years since i got my notice that we were selected to attend the 119th class of gilead from april-september 2005.. prior to this, i really wanted to be a co. i won't belabor the point about my ex jw wife wanting to go overseas, but suffice to say, her goal won out over my goal.

  did you like being called "brother" or "sister"?

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always found it very patronising, particulay as most of the jw's who did that treated me very badly and not like a sister at all!.

  i also hated when brothers would say " i've met a lovely sister and i'm planning to marry her!

  " sounds so incestuous!

  Nine year old baptized

  by EmptyInside in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this weekend at the circuit assembly, (i stayed home, thank goodness), i heard a nine year -old girl was baptized.

  and she seems a bit mature for her age, but hardly mature enough,in my opinion, to make such a choice on her own.

  it seems to be a trend in our circuit right now.

  For those of you attending college now (or at least recently have)....

  by 2pink in

  2. beliefs

  please remind me what the work load is like.

  i went to college and took a few classes in my early 20s, and found it all very easy, but i had a lot less responsibility back then so i think my perception was skewed.

  now i am 31, married, 2 kids, soon to be 3. i work very part time from home.

  i was toying with the idea of re-writing my lifestory.

  frankly, it would be long.

  so i will just do some random experiences instead.
