  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.

  Advice needed on Crisis of Conscience

  by cappytan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, some of you may have seen my thread from yesterday about my wife waking up.. we had further discussion yesterday evening after i sent her the pbs video on the abuse scandals plaguing the watchtower.

  she was so furious and pissed off at wt hq.

  apparently a close relative of her's was abused by an elder and the only reason he was reproved and removed as an elder was because he confessed.

  I think you should give her the PDF, and just say Here it is for whenever you're ready.

  Honestly, COC didn't send me into a tailspin at all. I found everything perfectly consonant with my experience as a JW (but then again I was raised in a "Bethel congregation").

  Although my wife has not read the entire book, what she did read rang true with her experience as well.

  I guess what I'm saying is that you don't know how individuals will react to reading anything.

  All COC did for my wife and me is confirm exactly what we had surmised on our own.

  Ayn Rand - Opinions?

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you familiar with ayn rand and her ideas on morality, rationality and reason, what is your opinion of those ideas?.

  i'm talking about her actual ideas, not the ideals that libertarianism has adopted and, in some cases, perverted.

  do you think she's a charlatan?

  I've heard Rand described as a self-absorbed bitch. . .. .

  But then again I've heard that Russell (Bertrand - not C.T.!) was a self-absorbed bastard.

  I honestly have no hard opinion on this.

  they're baaaack!!!

  jws "tabling" at my student center again, first time in over six months.

  So here is the response, which basically says their department is not directly responsible for who gets tables. As long as a religious group is registered with the Office of Student Involvement (basically registers all religious groups at the university), they can reserve a table.

  
  

  However, this person did cc the Director of Student Involvement and I am anticipating a response. If not, I will contact the DSI personally.

  
  

  So that's where we're at. . . . . .

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Hello ******* ,

  Thank you for your email and sharing your concerns with me. Jehovah's Witnesses Campus Ministry is an affiliated congregation registered with the Department of Student Life/Office of Student Involvement. Affiliated Congregations are permitted to schedule contact tables.

  This is our link about Religious Life on campus: ************* which will give you more details.

  I have also copied *******, our Director of Student Involvement.

  I hope this helps clarify why Jehovah's Witnesses had a table reserved at ******* Campus.

  Let me know if you need additional information.

  Best Regards,

  *******
