Is there anything good JWs taught you still benefit from?

by venus in

some years ago, i attended a jw wedding.

marriage speaker said something which changed my life for the better, and it helps me even now.

he told the couple: “the very make up of man and woman is such that conflicts can often arise between you.

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

There have been so many bad or false ones used. Or totally made up and presented as fact.

That's because 99% of speakers are HACKS!

I took it very seriously and actually got professional training to be very good at it.
That turned out to be a waste of time and money now.

By the way on PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Even though there is a 'so-called school' for JW to learn how to speak, I found that not more than 1 or 2% were actually good at it.

Imagine if that was the success rate for say Harvard or Princeton?

Nothing you could have learned that is beneficial from being a JW that could not have been picked up in a 100 other places, books, TV show...

If you go to college, by the way, you learn public speaking as well.

Yea my father-in-law when giving us tours at Bethel would love to take us to the room where that happened and tell us.

Illogicality of preaching

by venus in

not all scripture is god-breathed.

there are verses that also dishonor god.

for example, subject of preaching seems to be too illogical even though it is the very basis of many sects [especially of jw organization which defines itself as the preaching organization].
