  Devouring the Forbidden Fruit - Higher Education

  by cappytan in

  well, i told my wife over the weekend i was going to go back school to finish my degree.

  she is 100% supportive of it!

  apparently she doesn't think higher education is so evil either.. since my former major was computer programming and that was in the late 1990's, i was told i'd have to retake a bunch of classes since times have changed.

  Question?

  Did the recent jw tv anti education broadcasts cement the deal for you to go back to college?

  just saw this on the ex-jw subreddit.

  on opencharity.ca, you can view wtbs canada's financial info and in 2013 they received almost $9 million in donations.

  you can even see how much some congregations gave.

  $90 per publisher in canada. It really isn't that much when you think about it.

  I agree it just wanders on to nowhere.

  It sounds like a memo written from the desk of a gb helper put to some pathetic music.
  Of course all the Jws will say about what a great song it is

  Rethinking "this world", "the world", and "worldly"

  by Fernando in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if all religion is a snare and a racket as per judge rutherford, then has religion maybe lied to us on this score too?.

  could jesus have meant: "if you belonged to the (religious) world, it would love you as its own.

  as it is, you do not belong to the (religious) world, but i have chosen you out of the (religious) world.

  My thoughts.

  Most people have to work for a living. Unless a person is born into a privileged family or wins the lottery this is a fact of life.

  Con artists and thieves have figured out a way to skirt the system and get a free ride. Religious leaders have pretty much figured the game out so they never have to work another day in their life.

  Has religion lied to us? Is the sky blue?

  It is not a well written song. It is lacking a hook

  Such a helpful book, "The subtle power of spiritual Abuse"

  by Jay Elle in

  1. watchtower

  this book was suggested to me.

  i couldn't put it down.

  it isn't aimed at any religion but it does peg the abuse factor within them all.

  is there a child custody packet that the Jws use to lie in court? If there is where can I get a copy. Or any other advice I can pass on

  this is in canada btw.
