  How can we find out what the penalty against the WT is?

  Will they, for example, have to print the full original picture with an apology?

  Higher Education and Disqualification for Privileges in the Congregation

  by 00DAD in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was still serving as an elder in the late summer of 2006 in a congregation of jws in socal we received a letter from the "christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses" (read: the governing body) directing that anyone pursuing a higher education would be disqualified from privileges of service: elder, servant, pioneer, etc.

  i remember this quite distinctly because i had just received by ba in education in june a few months before this.

  in 2002, i had decided to pursue a degree under the society's then current "it's a personal decision" policy and was quite shocked at their drastic policy change.

  luking4change Nice to have you join us, welcome!

  You had a choice to make and took a sensible and scriptural path - good for you.

  All of these doctrines of men are likely to change again in 5 years anyway, so why disadvantage someone for their entire life just because the current opinion says further education is, for the time being, prohibited.

  The Society see university education as an admission of greed, to them there's no concept of any other reason why we would want to be educated, whether it's purely for our love of a subject, to better enable us to get a job, so we can teach the next generation, or whatever. Greed, that's it.

  But in the ultimate hypocrisy, when she is qualified the Society would snap her and her skills/knowledge up for their own benefit, as they have done with countless others.

  I use android, my wife uses iPad.

  I got her the iPad mini because its easier to use, and having used it myself I think its a beautiful tablet - smooth and flawless.

  By comparison my nexus 7 android is less simple, the apps less smooth and sometimes less reliable.

  Saying that, I'm very happy with my android and prefer its configurabiity.

  jw.org getting out of hand

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems the watchtower staff have made a runaway train with the introduction of the mark jw.org.. the combination of using a gadget driven platform and the fact that the common jw is low educated and easely influenced.

  by new occurrings in their religion makes the situation getting out of hand.. proof: gb members wearing jw.org buttons during their speech, gifts with jw.org are given away, umbrellas with the jw.org are available.

  jw.org is more important then god, his son and the gospel.. it's the gadget and the jw.org mark that counts.. i am so happy my grandparents are not confronted with these idiots.. it's a runaway train heading to the end of the track.. gorby .

  stuckinarut2: What is different about JW.ORG pendants, logos, etc and the use of a crucifix or cross by other Christians?

  Succinct! I'll use this question to create some internal conflictions, thank you.

  This incident is obviously one of those things that cannot be proven or disproven.
  I know how I felt at that moment, he knows how he felt at that moment, you know how you feel about that moment.

  I'm not going to defend it, there's no point. It's a bit like explaining away the 10 plagues on Egypt.

  Appreciate your thoughts on it however, even though they were entirely expected.

  Focus: Splash - don't be bashful, share with us your belief or delusion. More "genuine" UFOs are upper-atmosphere weather balloons than anything else. What was your demon?

  For general merriment and derision, I posted about it a while back

  I've had a personal experience so I cannot agree with the 'superstition' comments.

  Each to their own, but I believe demons exist.

  The Ravings of Trolls Distracts FOCUS From Real Watchtower Scandals

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  my thread was inspired by gentledawn's insightful comment about the effect the events in wales had on her jw husband.... hope any lurkers out there can filter out the signal (storys and experiences like this) to noise (the current trolls running amok on the forums) ratios.

  this the problem with those who focus on outrageous fantasies about the watchtower.

  it distracts from the real issues that need to be highlighted.. what happened in wales was for real.
