  i have a question about this article.. https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/jw-education-school/.

  higher education can lead to moral and spiritual dangers.

  a bible proverb says: "the shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself.

  TTWSYF : Isn’t it bizarre that an organization that boastfully prides itself on “true” scriptural interpretation would look suspiciously at theological studies?

  Not at all. Theological studies often includes source criticism, form criticism, redaction criticism, tradition criticism and/or canonical criticism, all of which discount inspiration of the scriptures. They say there are no atheists in foxholes. It is truer to say there are no believers in theological colleges.

  Earnest, criticism is the beginning of solid reasoning. Criticism is a good thing. It makes you think and reason. Then you make decisions based on solid reasoning. It’s not to be feared, it’s to help us all grow in knowledge and faith. The folks that I’ve met that have studied (seriously, not WT and Awake) are into their studies to become closer to the Lord. You shouldn’t be afraid of legitimate criticism.

  Yes, you would learn how to come to conclusions using reason according to historical evidence (that you corroborate independently).

  You’d learn that you need more than a Greek to English dictionary for scriptural interpretation.

  I want to know asks “So why is the world still so messed up?”

  the same reason that it always has been messed up. Free will. When given a choice between 2different goods, we , humans as a whole, will chose the lesser good.

  That’s the evil, us, as a whole, continuing to chose the lesser good over the greater good.

  this young jw lady was shunned by her parents since she was 18 or 19 years old.

  she was befriended by the older man that you see in the picture.

  perhaps you recognize him?

  Well said, but won’t change 1 person…but may provide reassurance to someone who is struggling with their consequences from normal deductive reasoning.

  Which bible?

  good question.

  how was the bible compiled?

  what criteria was used in the composition of the Bible?

  there were conditions that had to be met. Do you know what they were?

  do you know why Martin Luther removed books from the Bible? Or do you think the Catholics added books?

  To me, JWs always ask the wrong questions. Why would anyone promote to live their life by the Bible (which is a Catholic book) and at the same time claim that the Catholic Church is the whore of Babylon.

  “Not their book though, they got that one right.”

  Funny that never resonates w/JWs

  That’s just fu&$ing awful!

  you are not safe anywhere when you’re not safe in a place of worship. No temple, mosque, church or Kingdom Hall is safe

  Sorry Earnest,

  but the facts according to recorded history state that Irenaeus was a student of St Polycarp (who was taught under St John) and was the bishop of Gaul (modern day Lyon, France).

  He was 100% Catholic

  So Irenaeus was a JW? Or has JW beliefs?

  Not likely...........if you read 'against heresies' you'd see that he was 100% Catholic.....just like the bible is 100% a Catholic book.

  Just saying,,,because it's true
