What Do You Think About Home Schooling?

i knew a few witnesses who were very proud of the fact that their kids were homeschooled.

years ago, i would raise my eyebrows wondering why these families couldn’t simply integrate their kids with other “worldly” kids.

at this point in time, with so many theories being pushed on kids and their parents, i can see why parents, if they are qualified, could instruct their kids themselves.

Perhaps these anecdotal comments could be consolidated for inclusion in a submission to some peer-reviewed literature. The rigorous scholarship displayed here surely deserves publication!

We home-schooled our children who were academically well ahead of their publicly schooled peers. I personally have a graduate degree and enrolled in the program while an elder. Of course, we don't fit the venomous narrative of many commenters here so you will want to exclude us from the dataset your comments are based on. 🤮🤮🤮

I think Splane is the Cult Leader. And I think there are more apostates working on the inside than we can imagine.

by pistolpete in

so in the latest leaked video, splane goes on this crazy delusional rant about how faithful witnesses should never research their faith.. he criticizes the worldly court system and says they are not fair toward witnesses and the organization.

he says the court system is rigged and witnesses who get convicted, (implied child sex abusers) are innocent.

he is literally trying to justify child molesters and elders who cover them, as good people in "god's eyes" even though "human authorities" may judge them and put them in jail.

Is very simple. He gives talks when there's some 'splaning to do

You do know there are other governments than the American that also reacted to covid and are still reacting? You've heard the Olympics will be held this year without spectators?

Covid isn't real until it puts me in the hospital

Covid isn't serious for me because I hardly ever get sick

More lies from fake news.

by mickbobcat in

news is broadcasting that death valley is getting close to breaking a record.

the highest air temp recorded is 134 but that was in 1913 way before the huge spike in co2.

now its 130 and its the end of the world.

20 Years Occupying Afghanistan, Nothing Achieved

by Simon in

so the occupation of afghanistan is coming to an end and, as predicted, they achieved absolutely nothing in that 20 years apart from:.

the death of 2,300+ service personnel and tens of thousands more seriously maimed or injured.. handing $billions or even $trillions of taxpayer dollars to defence contractors (so the military industrial complex wins, even if the military doesn't have a clear victory).. has this lengthy but short-term military occupation really changed anything in the country?

it doesn't appear so.. i said at the time that the us wouldn't have the staying power to enact real change.
