just got a call from my daughter that she got word that the jw honeywagon (literature stand) has set up in the university she teaches at.
one (and there are many) of the reasons we left was due to the stance on higher education, she was persecuted by the elders for attending the very university they are now set up in.
my daughter eventually got a masters degree overseas and now teaches at the same unversity, is self sufficent and will not have to eke out some pittance of a living while fighting a very delbilitating health condition.

i don't.. i consider myself a truth teller.. the watchtower society appears to be more "apostate" than even "christendom"..
The word apostate was associated with the phrase..
EVIL SLAVE .
Such a dark scary connotation has been attributed to
the word, that it can really ring a loud bell for a jw!

I am not an apostate ... everything I was taught by
the witlesses has proved to be wrong ... not my fault...
they 'moved the goal post' not me!
I am instead a smart goat who got the hell out!

the wbats have ramped up no college for jws once again.
the first time they backed off of it is because they noticed a person flipping hamburgers or cleaning toilets are not able to donate much money... so the wtbats says lets allow them to at least get a 2 year degree, then they can donate a little more... this goes on for awhile, but then the wbats notice that many who go to college are leaving...
well because they gain knowledge and distance themselves from the cult and it's ignorance, have access to outside sources, and eventually learn ttatt!!!
Adjustments ..great post thanx ...the hard part
was reading that wt crap ...omg makes me want to
... scream!

one thing that i have noticed in my dealings with a lot of women in the congregation are deep, intense feelings of insecurity and worthlessness.
i use the term "worthlessness" very loosely because it can apply to many different situations, in the congregation, in the home, personally, etc.
over the years, and especially over the past 6 years, i've met sisters from all walks of life.
jeff spreng ...welcome, I see it is your first post!
Looking forward to reading your story.

Knowledge is power ...
that is why jw org says
"no independant thinking" "do not trust your heart",
"read our watchtower" ...that is why they give you all
the answers & ......all the questions!
They do not want you to see the real truth!
