ÁrbolesdeArabia... I was born into the organisation. We were Clearly taught to shun education. Myself i never finished colledge. We were told that college, and any extra activities like sports were bad associations NOT approved.
I have had to go back and catch up after i left the org. That was so hard to do.
I lost the chance to go further in education because the pressure to leave was GREAT from the PO to elders. Most of my friends in the truth went only 2 years in colledge or a few managed to finished colledge, i never got that far. Being a JW at colledge was very hard, fights every few days in order to survive. My other jw mates were just taking it. Some days 3 to 4 were lined up to take their shots at me, so lucky i always won! just more focused and faster or shear luck (jah protecting me, lol). Life at school was tough. all because i was a JW and could not fit in to the accepted way of school life.
I left for the ministry and the low paid JOB in order to please others.
I regret not having had the power to say i want to complete my education. I regret that i was mentally programed so that i COULD NOT FIT into the normal world of my peers, I regret that i was given an "i am greater than you" status because you are gonna die and i am not attitude, I HATE the Organisation for inculting into me the mindset to shun education even though i wanted it so badly.
If you are a JW youth reading this, STOP, Dont listen to the org, tell your parents you want higher education and that you will not forget jehovah, complete your wish - your dream, then when you have your degree, DECIDE what you want to do, Remember Jehovah knows your heart, not a man, no man is your judge only you!, dont loose the chance you have now to gain accurate bread winning knowledge. Also remember the age of jesus was when he finally was baptised.. he wasnt a youth!.
The society and the knowledge they supply is biased, it is NOT accurate knowledge. it is slanted and hand picked to represent what ever they want you to do and believe at any given time. You can see it already, even as i did, but i didnt have the strength to break free. What really made me wake up was the two faced brothers in the org. They outwardly appear loving but behind your back they are backstabbers seeking not your interests as loving sheperds but their own interests. Time and time again i witnessed greedy wolf like elders turn on faithful brothers all the while they were in power and having a show of godly devotion being blessed by JAH... I ask how is that possible?. It is not, and thus it is NOT from Jehovah.
Break free, you will be better off for doing so.
Now although i have no degree, i have had a interest in Herbs and Chemistry, and I have been doing private research for the past 20 years in a third world country.
I have been blessed and found a natural cure for HIV/Aids, and it works also on some cancers. I help many poor people free of charge.
I am now able to completly reverse all symptoms of hiv within 24 hours, and any fungal problems associated with the condition are gone completly within the next 5-7 days. The CD4 level and apatite improve the same day. I can take a cd4 count of 200 and turn it into 1200 within 7 days. All lymph node pain is gone within 1 hour. Tonsilitis 15 minutes no pain and in 24 hours gone. One of the greatest things to see cancer tumors start to shrink.
I am now blessed with my new family!, of people that i have helped gain a second chance at LIFE. The REAL life of being a human, not a fake life of pretending to help others by being a JW.
