You wont get DFed or counseled for going to college but its still frowned upon and discouraged.
Dam that higher education, it never helped humanity in any form.
first thing comes to mind is that this organization through its leaders are not witnessing the true and honest version of the gospel teachings of jesus christ .. they are subjectively teaching/preaching a tainted version made up by the top controlling men of the organization, which i'm sure is connected to the proliferation and distribution of literature which these men publish themselves.
.
when jesus said that no one knows of the time not even he, he didn't say a select few will know .. the other thing that bothers me is this organization promotes human ignorance on many levels, admonishing education or knowledge that mankind needs for its very survival... there are many other religious organizations that do this as well but the jws is just one of these organizations.

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.
Shame what a waste .
I think the only way to overturn a country such as that is by itself internally, under its own power, military and self determination..
It unfortunately takes a lot of money and the right people in that power to accomplish this..
i’m seeing my hard core believing relatives slowly losing faith that the watchtower is the organization that “god” is using to represent him on earth.. just about all the churches in their area have opened up.. but not the watchtower.. this is having an affect on the faith of even the old timers.
now the only ones who are still holding the faith are the female jws and only those past 70 years of age.
even my old male jw relative past 70 are starting to say that it can’t be jehovah’s organization because the other churches are all open and god supposed organization who is supposed to preach the warning message is still closed with no open in sight.
I would guess the eventual end of the JWS.
Doesn't really matter because they are going back to the Kingdom Halls already.
many that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.
somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".

Not enough disfellowshipping or reproving of perverts.
Since when was there a copious amount of sex perverts in JWS congregations ?
There was always fornicators and adulterers but those actions aren't necessarily considered sexaul perversions.
do you think he could get reinstated as president?
do you think trump will run again for president or do you think he will just be a force for the republican party behind the scenes?.
Sure Presidents get impeached for nothing.
So his words and talk just before the mob hit the Capital didn't incite anything ?
Boy did you swallow the Trump Koolaid

Yes that's something ironic and a bit corrupt when people give needed money within their congregation to the HQ of JWorg. when the accounts held by the organization have millions in them.
But they still have the audacity to ask JWS children to give up their candy money to give toward the Org.

Yes such a respected person from within the country itself and around the world from other countries too.
So America needs a president who was impeached twice and started a violent insurrection against the in place government buildings and people working there ?
Aw..... that's sound logic.
Oh he shock things up alright but not necessarily in a good way.
I think he brought a huge amount of shame and disrespect not only toward Americans themselves but from all around the world.
He did support big business in the country so from that perspective he was helpful.

I hate this cult because the intermingling causes of suicide.
I actually hear more JWS dying from suicide than from people refusing a Blood transfusion.
Unfortunately these suicides dont make to the media like the blood transfusion situations.
Maybe they should !

One other thing that's probably comes close to the top of the list is the refusal of blood transfusions.
This one hits myself bit hard since I had a family member die from refusing a BT.
To date since this doctrine was introduced some 80 years ago thousands of people (JWS) have died from this doctrine alone which to many religious or not is repugnant and heartless .
