I would say that a person indoctrinated in a university for 4 years is as easily manipulated by others as a high school dropout.

a very certain distinctive of jws is how they refer to themselves.
"one of jehovah's witnesses".
it's one of those coded jargon thingies.
Can’t say you are a member of the Jehovahs witnesses as that would imply an agency and could result in financial harms for the leadership of the Watchtower Corporation.
read this relevant message on reddit, about current elders.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1eb0ees/the_changes_are_affecting_elders_the_hardest_in/.
spot on, isn't it?.
gorby.
One thing that elders are not aware of, and should be is personal civil and criminal liability for some of the harms that they do.
Laws are broken and damages done in the name of “following direction”.
A bold person needs to ask these questions to elders:
What would you do if you recieve a criminal record or a jail term for not reporting csa or threats of self harm? Will you lose your job?
What would you do if you are sued for wrongful death resulting from a decision you made in a jc? What will your wife and family think if you lose your house and your wages garnished? Does the congregation offer you liability insurance in case of a lawsuit?
Elders are being played by the watchtower corporation. They are manipulated into thinking they are doing gods work by being hatchet men for the borg.
Watchtower won’t have their back.

I’m amazed at what little reward people need to be duped into working for free.
The title of elder and keeping that title dictates entire families lives, their economic future, their children and grandchildrens future.
It isn’t even a piece of paper that you can hang on your wall.

Humans naturally don’t like other humans appearing to succeed.
They somehow feel threatened and want to drag you down to their level of mediocrity

I never gave it much thought that the elders might discourage college just to retain cheap indentured jw servants
I wouldn’t put it past them
perhaps you considering joining the wt cult - here is a concise list of why you should not.. what the watchtower demands of you:.
1.complete obedience to them.. 2. be willing to lose your life for zany blood teachings.. 3.put other cult members before your real family.. 4.refusal to let you leave their religion when the penny drops it's a cult.. 6.accept that they can backtrack and change any of their flip flop teachings at any time.. 7. you can't change your mind about their teachings without harsh discipline,.
8. insistence that you humbly and quickly apologise for your mistakes and errors.. 9.gladly accept they will never be apologising for any of their mistakes or errors of judgement.. 10.accept that even ones who follow and believe in the bible, but not the governing body are worthy of destruction.. please feel free to add more..
Smoking is unhealthy anyway.
They will over the course of your lifetime suck your soul and bank account dry.
They will steal your youth, your prime earning years and make sure you are dependant on government handouts in your old age.

so as they say one picture is as strong as a thousand words and here you have it guys in the latest study edition of the watchtower for october 2024 that has just been posted on their website a middle aged jw window cleaner dreaming of the new system where things will get better.
why does the watchtower need to talk now about jws on minial self employed jobs?
Seems to me they don’t want you earning money but if you have made lots of money they look the other way when you miss meetings to earn some more

mark sanderson's fake and vivid imagination experience starts at the 1 minute 30 second mark:.
goes out with local brothers and sisters in door to door service.
I call 100% bullshit on this made up experience by fatso sanderson
But it is a very useful manipulation tool
Protect the governing body at all costs
If a man in a shady car can give a large donation so can you.
If you are tired and don’t feel like going out in service you should because we do
Anyone saying the gb don’t go out in service is a lying apostate
