we all know how much the watchtower abhors "higher education" and that apparently jehovah thinks it is a big waste of time.
at least that is their official stance.
it might come as a shock to you that this month they have started a campaign drive to actually recruit jws who have higher education, specifically those who have legal training.. with all the law suits against them for creating an environment that is friendly to paedophiles, it is thus no wonder that they are in need of solicitors, especially those who are sympathetic towards the cult.. talk about hypocrisy!.
Letters like this have gone out before.
The WT has asked for Degreed help before.

I think the best way to challenge JWs when you have the opportunity is first of all to be aggressive.
Then ask them to show you proof from their bible (since they are bible students and read it every day) of these 3 basic teachings.
1. Show me proof of a 1st century Governing Body.
2. Show me how you see the year 1914 as an important year and identified in the bible.
3. Show me proof that there are overlapping generations.
Since NONE will be able to do this, and at best they will have to do backbends to even find something that might have some distant relation to it, it may get them to think.
Then you close with:
"Your entire religion hangs on these 3 basic beliefs, and you a bible student of X years cant find them in the bible? The only thing you can do is find a WT article that explains them for you?
Don't you think that's sad?"
ok so this is a topic i've pondered and go back and forth on.. i can easily see a point where lawsuits cause massive deficits in the organization.
honestly i feel like we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in regards to lawsuits on child abuse.
to me it looks like the property sell offs are to be able to get ready for this.
smiddy3 - Actually you should thank T. S. Eliot.
That line comes from his Poem "The Hollow Men"

Count how many religions have collapsed?
I cant name any especially a religion that numbers in the millions.
Sadly, the WT will outlive all of us, because of one reason.
People are stupid. I know cuz I was one of them.
two years ago i started stand up comedy.
here is a recent video.
thx.
Awesome! Very funny!!
Good on you mate!

to all bodies of elders "handling cases of drug abuse".
september 1, 2018. to all bodies of elders re: handling cases of drug abusedear brothers: as noted below, the procedure for handling the misuse of marijuana and the abuse of medi- cal, illicit, or addictive drugs has been adjusted to harmonize with the procedure for handling the misuse of tobacco.
I am addicted to Food Water and Air.
Can 2 brothers handle that, or is it a full on judicial matter?
Steve2 - actually, she was persuaded to turn her back on the god that just made her, her loving hubby with a perfect dick, a beautiful home, and... life everlasting...
...because of 47 words in 3 sentences that a talking snake said to her.
Do you find that hard to believe or something?
has god preserved his word today?
many people attack, doubt and fault god's word.
yet god has made several promises in his word.he promised to preserve his word unto every generation,he promised that every word would be truth,he promised that we can rely and depend on his every word.satan wants nothing more than to dismiss, and cast doubt on god's word... so the question today is... do we have god's preserved word today?
I am just SOOO Happy God invented the Sword, and so kindly showed it to Adam and Eve at the entrance of the Garden of Eden.
Just what the doctor ordered.
and yet today's watchtower and indeed the bible condemns the israelites for moaning about having no water!
it's never occurred to me how unjust this is!
and how could a so called loving god not provide a basic human need?!.
