I know an older couple who shunned both of their dfd children in a harsh manner as per watchtower direction. When they couldn't look after themselves anymore their children wouldn't help and neither would the congregation.

33Are Parents Who Shun Their Children At Risk?
by Englishman inwho looks after the welfare of ageing witness parents who have disfellowshipped children?
are these df'd children (actually, some of these df'd children are in their 60's) meant to ignore being ignored and then care physically for their non speaking parents?
also, can df'ing your own children lead to witness parents suffering illness or even death as a result?.

A few months back or perhaps longer( time flies) there was an article about reaching out to be elders in the study edition that was omitted from the simplified version. I guess they don't want simpletons to reach out. -

I've been to a fair amount of live shows over the years (10-20). The mrs and I went to les mis a couple of months back and despite all of the hype it wasn't that great of a show IMO -

Same as what cappytan said.
If I was going to take a project like this on it would have to be individual tracks to see what could be done then remixed and mastered.
Great voice btw

Devouring the Forbidden Fruit - Higher Education
by cappytan inwell, 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?

$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 inif 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?
