I used to count time when I posted to a listserve way back in the day of dial up internet. So, I hope that someone is counting time here. If I knew where to turn in a time splip, I would submit one for myself.

Is College Worth It? Clearly, New Data Say...
by NewYork44M ina new set of income statistics answers those questions quite clearly: yes, college is worth it, and its not even close.
for all the struggles that many young college graduates face, a four-year degree has probably never been more valuable.. here is the article from the new york times:.

Troubled mind, you made an interesting comment:
her Mothers response was, " Well are you going to get a job at McDonalds now? ".......sadly the typical JW mindset that a college education is worthless ......
I have heard too many comments like this; Some were hurlded in my direction. I have no response to such stupidity.

I also know a Master Plumber who makes a VERY nice living.
Everyone needs to chart their own path. I am a great accountant, however I am afraid I would make a terrible master plumber.
Which is kind of the point of education - it gives you options.

TO,
Society is set up in such a way that credentials are critical to your success. In your scenerio, I could learn as much as a Certified Public Accountant by reading to books. However, if I want to sign an audit report, or actually work as an auditor I need the CPA license. To sit for the CPA, I needed 150 hours of college credits. A CPA firm would never consider hiring a person with the book learning - but without the educational credentials. Sorry, I did not make the rules.
I actually disagree you you - education teaches a person to think critically - that is the last thing the Watchtower wants to happen. This is the reason they present college education as a bad thing.

Where does the rise of the king of the north fit in? That was the big event we were looking forward to when I was a kid?
Also, this is one that never gets much play time - when did "the disgusting thing that causes desolation standing where it ought not" take place? This was another big deal that was revised and not forgotten.
If you are looking for signs, please don't cherry pick your prophesies.

Teary, thank you for that information. I have some very strong opinions about education and while I understand that not all degrees are created equal, an education has the potential of transforming lives.
Even though I grew up a witness and remained one for much of my adult life I never bought into the no-education stance. I continued my education even as an elder.
My financial wellbeing is directly attributed to my education. No question.
An education is just like any other investment. If you invest wisely, you will end up ahead.
Just my two-cents.

CONGREGATION FLEECING RESULTS?
by The Searcher inhow much did your congregation and its bank account get taken for?
share your horror story!.

The Searcher, if you have ever heard the phrase "getting blood from a turnip," that phrase applies here. While there are a few rich congregations, most are pretty poor.
It would be interesting to find out how the results align with what was expected by HQ. I am sure getting that last rusty nickel will be the focus of the CO visits. Is all I can say is: good luck with that. You couldn't pay me enough to take that job.

2014 summer conventions to have live video and audio feeds
by dropoffyourkeylee ini have heard from reliable source that this summer's conventions will feature video of various gb members as they speak and announce releases.
the regional (as opposed to the international conventions) will have numerous video monitors all around.
anyone else heard about this?.

This is new information to me. Thanks for posting. In essence, this negates the whole purpose of having an assembly. I have participated in numerous web-based seminars and sessions. THey are wonderful and so efficient.
So, why would a witness travel to a faraway location, take vacation time, spend money on hotels, food and travel when the same event can be viewed on-line?
I only ask this rhetorically. If I was part of the gb, I think I could come up with a few reasons to inflict additional pain on the r&f. One of the reasons would be “just for the fun of it” or to state it differently “because I can.”
