i had an account on here sometime ago but forgot the login, but i often read the site.. a long-term friend of mine, a jw, asked me to go to his grandmothers jw funeral a few weeks ago.. i was hesitant obviously.
i haven't been to a kh in over 5 years.. i am not df/da.
i decided to quit in 2007 following my failed marriage to a jw.. the person who died was a very well-respected jw pioneer.
UK_ex_Jw, sorry to hear your sad news.
I wonder if it struck you how the JW's have been on pause for all the time you were away. Nothing has changed, same old talks, same old scriptures, same old fake smiles, same old pretend love and interest, same old people in the same old sitting arrangment ...same old.... same old...
march 18, 1989. my wife and i mailed our da letter.
there's been a lot of life post-jw.
i'm glad we're not still waiting for something to happen.
LOL jenny !!!
A SPAMMER with a heart lol xxxx
if any of you lurkers listen to a rant by the society against college, remember one thing:.
the brother giving the talk is probably an utter hypocrite.. there are a few exceptions but consider that many elders are financially secure - which allows them to be elders.
while they talk about not planning for the future because armageddon 'is so close', they have pensions, ira's, roth accounts and investments.
I remember hearing that Judah Benjamin Schroeder went to University to study law. All the while JW's defend the merits of being a good window cleaner!
interesting how the scammers always turn up at the same time on the same day - monday approx 5pm australian time.. maybe the scammer is the same person?.
why don't they post at different times or days??.
.
Makes me laugh..... at best they must get what.... 3 clicks ? Is it worth the whole setting up a new account, talking about a JW issue? lol

Its such an odd perspective garyneal, but it exists in the JW's for sure.... to want to earn a good wage is to be greedy or a money grabber!
Outside in the real world this is obviously not the case and to say such a thing would seem odd.
Spot the difference ..... 1) the JW window washer that gets up t 6am and finishes at 5pm to pay his mortgage
2)the degree taught JW who works 9-4 in an office earning twice as much in less stressful or hardy
conditions with full health care.
Tic toc tic toc tic toc.... spot the difference? Bet you didnt say money grabbing! But this mental indoctrination aka brainwashing has purveyed the congregations. Its important you reason with your wife so she does not feel guilty for wanting to better herself.
The reality is, the WT organisation is a publishing company and a construction company. It is NOT a coincidence that the only education they 'allow' or promote is in the building trade. HELLO !!!! MCFLY !!!! ANYBODY HOME MCFLY !!! These trade courses take as long as a degree, if anything a degree gives you FAR much moe time to yourself than say a course in plumbing. But guess what! The WT society REALLY dont want historians, but they REALLY need plumbers!!!
Dont waste your lives on these people, there is no refund for this life. This is it, the 70 year countdown began a long time ago for most of us. Get doing what you want to do, if thats learning then go do it ! If its becoming a plumber... then go do that too ! But do it because its what you want to ! tic toc tic toc tic toc.....

Exactly Darth F ! This issue (education) along with a few others really gripe me (elder apostates.... sorry just hits a button). Education is food for the soul, it is so amazing! I urge anyone to go and sit in a lecture hall and not feel inspired by the humility of how much we dont know alongside the astounding realisation of what we do know! You can be a window cleaner all your life....or you can save lives! One happens to pay more too! People dont do menial jobs out of choice! They do it because they didnt work hard at school, their circumstances as an adult dont allow them to go back to school or their evil cult forbids personal growth and progress ! Why would someone choose to be a pizza delivery driver or a floor washer over a Lawyer? They wouldnt, if they could swap jobs they would ! All I am saying is.. YOU CAN swap jobs, go back to school! Dont try and make it personal by talking about prestige, it has nooooo relevance. The window washer is not doing their job out of love or passion, thousands of people apply for each seat in medicine however !
Frosty, I knew a PO, that was going to university evening classes on the quiet for 3 years. He got his degree and didnt tell a soul ! He doesnt pioneer, he works long hours and lives in comfortable surroundings. What a joke! The worst part is I knew how passionate he was for the topic he went off to study, and he remians passionate. It isnt that he hid the degree and got wealthier for it that annoys me, its that he had to quash that passion. So, so , so repressive, it is not healthy.

LOL YB x I have no interest in the status of education, it is not about the job or the money, I have said this over and over again! These jobs however do not broaden your mind or teach you to critically appraise information. They dont inform you about the wonder of the universe or inspire you to contribute to the worlds knowledge base. It is simply manual work work for very little pay. I know because I did it! The UN has JW's as the most uneducated and least paid demographic of all religious people! That is a shocking statement and one that makes me very sad. There is an obvious correlation.
Do I have a clue what I am talking about? Who cares? But, had I got letters after my name for previous jobs whilst pioneering and alike I would look something like this....
Snare&Racket WW, RP, FW, MO, PD (though it was papers not pizzas)
We can also add Painter & Decorator, Farmer, Music Teacher, IT technician, Scaffolder, Roofer and General Dogsbody Builder....
Now have a guess at which of all my jobs proved most fulfilling and rewarding, not to mention enjoyable and inspiring? I'll give you a clue, it begins with Med....
P.s. It is not an M.D it is an MBBCH ( Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) and since nobody has brought up status and prestige why did you? It is irrelevant! Why cant people be proud for doing well, It only takes 9 years of total slog to get there !
