they claim their schools, literature and teaching are far more superior than any "worldly" education.
how would you counter that belief?.
Since part of education is the ability to challenge and investigate information as well as peer review of material JWs are not educated since they are taught only to parrot what is printed, any form of in depth research is forbidden, thinking is forbidden and questioning the published doctrine is forbidden.
I have to say that the materials are poorly researched, badly written and intellectually barren. They do not receive an education but an indoctrination.
Will do that for the next one as am thinking of setting up a website and it will be great for me to see how the picture progresses too.
I have 2 pictures in a local shop so will have to wait and see how that goes. I was going to add some blue ink and put a background on but not sure at the moment how effective it would be may just leave it as it is.
i will write my story soon... .
Congrats.
these guys believe that they are running and directing "god's organization" and it is all based on some flimsy parable interpetation about a master who left a slave in charge while he went away with the outcome uncertain upon his return.
not a very solid case to be pointedly honest.
jesus would have made a better choice of donald trump to run his father's business/watchtower corporation, he's less arrogant and doesn't discourage higher education, and plastic children's toys are not a major concern of his.. what is arrogance?.

You need a psychiatric treatment.
i haven't been to a meeting in over a year, and as you know as soon as you stop attending meetings/fieldservice the "conditional" love becomes more apperant.
the coordinating elder starts off by saying how much he loves and misses me, etc.
i ask him, when was the last time you called or texted me?
Good response and an excellent rebuttal to the "we miss you and love you" insincerity. JWs say it as if it is a given but actually do not offer any proof that this is the case.
so i am not officially da/do yet and my family has shunned me hard.
today crying my mother calls me to beg to see my children... should i let her?
i feel that if you can speak abusive of your own son and wife and shun the.
In my opinion it is unwise to let children have unsupervised access to anyone who may coerce them or be a negative influence. By letting her have unsupervised access you would have no control over what she says to them. In addition you are saying to the children that it is ok for your parents to treat their children badly and you are happy to enable them to shun you.
I would say to her that she is welcome to come to your home any time and visit the children, but if she comes she is not permitted to talk about you and your wife in a negative way and she must be polite. You and your children are a package deal because you are a family.
my lower back went out again.
typically, once every 9 months, i get a terrible spasm that can last for days.
right now, i am icing it but i am so sore!
I slipped over on some ice and bruised my lower back. I got some gel from the pharmacy which is powerful pain relief for bruises, sprains and strains.
i've been running into jws a lot lately.
some in person, others more by proxy.
last week, just as i was about to leave home for an appointment, the doorbell rang.
Never see them so you must have been particularly lucky or unlucky depending on your point of view.
