The best home schooling is very good indeed but unfortunately a lot of it is mediocre to poor. Most Witness home schooling tends to be mediocre but certainly not all. I knew one family that home schooled and the mother had a teaching degree, the difference was obvious.

What Do You Think About Home Schooling?
by minimus ini knew a few witnesses who were very proud of the fact that their kids were homeschooled.
years ago, i would raise my eyebrows wondering why these families couldn’t simply integrate their kids with other “worldly” kids.
at this point in time, with so many theories being pushed on kids and their parents, i can see why parents, if they are qualified, could instruct their kids themselves.

Even when I was in and a fairly prominent Elder, a Colt 1911 laid on the bed side table and a 12 Gauge pump lived by the door. The no guns for self defense thing has always been monumentally ignorant virtue signaling by the Organization

Covid Vaccine - Which One
by SadElder ini had just about decided to get the johnson & johnson vaccine and the issue of the guillain barre syndrome came up.
i realize it's a distant possibility but it gave me pause to reconsider.
i'm not fully onboard with the mrna method yet.. if you received the vaccine ..... which one, and can you share why that one?.

I got the Pfizer vaccine because it seems like the most effective and indications are that resistance to the virus are quite lasting. The MRNA horror stories are nonsense for the gullible in my opinion.

Is Your Best Good Enough?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inw55 1/15 pp.
there is a proverb that speaks of four things as never being satisfied, as never saying, “enough.” sometimes jehovah’s witnesses, as they listen to congregation servants discuss field service, may think these servants could have been listed as a fifth class that never says, “enough.” it may seem that they are never satisfied, as they urge better meeting attendance, more home bible studies and increased door-to-door activity.
to have servants who say “it is enough” before the work is finished would be disastrous to the congregation.

Always hated that article. I knew a real pig of a Circuit Overseer that was continually quoting from it decades later. I believe he actually got Brooklyn to reprint it in a much later Watchtower.

Did You Think The Capitol Riot Was Worse Than What Happened On 9/11?
by minimus inin my lifetime 9/11 was the worst thing that i can recall.
the effect it had was incredibly horrible!
almost everyone seemed to know someone that was either directly or indirectly affected by this diabolical act.

What are your personal reasons for hating the Jehovah's Witnesses religion ?
by Rocketman123 infirst thing comes to mind is that this organization through its leaders are not witnessing the true and honest version of the gospel teachings of jesus christ .. they are subjectively teaching/preaching a tainted version made up by the top controlling men of the organization, which i'm sure is connected to the proliferation and distribution of literature which these men publish themselves.
.
when jesus said that no one knows of the time not even he, he didn't say a select few will know .. the other thing that bothers me is this organization promotes human ignorance on many levels, admonishing education or knowledge that mankind needs for its very survival... there are many other religious organizations that do this as well but the jws is just one of these organizations.

Hate is not the right word but I very much dislike their self-righteous arrogance, their mean spiritedness, their condescending contempt for the vast majority of the people in the Organization and their perpetual dishonesty.

Do You Love The Country You Are In or From?
by minimus inmost people over the generations have taken pride in their heritage, nationality and country they are from.
it’s not uncommon to hear of “proud” italians and proud irish people , as an example.
are you proud of your country and your nationality or do you feel shame or indifference?.

I have lived in multiple countries but I was born and am currently living in the US. I love this country, it's still the country with the most individual liberty and a proud heritage; the vast majority of the malicious Leftist propaganda is without context, is vastly distorted, or is flat out false. I also really like Switzerland, Norway and the UK. If I had to pick another country it would probably be Switzerland.

Does this look like the WT is going to be around a long time? One Watchtower @ One Awake for the public in 2022
by pistolpete ini keep hearing that the watchtower org is going to be around forever because of the many other religions that have been around a long time.
but i disagree because the wt is not like other religious cults.. the watchtower's breath of life is dependent on the last days that started in 1914. .
you can’t change 1914 without a death blow to the entire organization.. the watchtower's 2nd reason for staying alive, is it's continual urging that the life saving preaching work of warning people is the most important work ever.. but- it's very obvious to many, even the old ones that instead of speeding up the work------the work is slowing down to a drip.. comment by former believer; .

I wish it weren't so but I believe they could drop 1914 and a large percentage of the people in the organization wouldn't even quiver. From what I've seen it's mostly the older ones who still have some kind of doctrinal understanding and the majority of them are simply incapable of admitting that the organization is fundamentally flawed and consistently dishonest. They will hang on because they can't admit they've been duped for their entire lives in the organization. -
