wt on education..

by zeb in

jw

i have just watched the glass smashing on the wt video on education.. please consider these experiences from the opposite side of that "coin".. i have heard young ones say out-loud on the mike in the kh that "jehovah is my special friend.."these ones who were at the top of the wt 'tree' pioneering, putting in the hours etc but, it followed that soon saying that pivotal statement they dropped their pioneering, faded, picked up the girl/boyfriend and suffered being dfd.. so where did their wt "education" leave them?

it left them as young adults naive to the world, unskilled, with no qualification to offer any employer and having to replace their former family/associates/friends with new ones.. ( dont get me going on shunning) in some cases with little success as we have read here where they moon about for months or longer unable to emotionally heal after the leaving or df'ing and also others with such a turn around they would never have believed it possible... there was a wt that related how a brother (!

) followed an interest in history and left the truth.

I wonder how many of the bethellites that had college degrees they laid off. Compared to the uneducated ones.

Hypocrites!

Has Your Political Views Affected Your Buying Habits or Entertainment?

will you avoid nike or tend to not buy apparel because of their support of colin kap?

would you stop doing business with anyone simply because you disagree with their politics?

in california, in and out burger, democrats were being told not to support the chain because they donated to republicans.. will politics affect your spending habits?.

I don't usually get all worked up and boycott anything. Still like Nike Cuz I grew up on them no idiots going to change that. I was closer to boycotting them over the child labor than over Colin only thing I boycott is WTBS .......Anyone else find it fitting that the last 2 initials are BS?

Why troll doubter? I don't go to you're hobbit hole and try to disrupt you. I left that place and don't care to go back.

I have always felt it shovenistic the way everything in the religion is handled.

District Assemblies now being held at Circuit Assembly locations?

by ShirleyW in

i haven't been to a kh in decades, so i get the google alerts for jws and i got one featuring a local news channel in brooklyn covering the assembly being held in flatbush, brooklyn.

i'm sure that venue is where the circuit assemblies are usually held, keeping in mind it's summer and that's when the district assemblies are being held.

why are they acting like they're so strapped for cash and now holding district assemblies in circuit assemblies locations ?.

I Faded Twice

Where I used to live they went from a big venue with plenty of seating to a terrible one where there are NO seats . We were an hour early and people were walking out because it was full.I had never seen that happen before .

The seats were uncomfortable to say the least and families couldn't sit together. It was 2 seats here 1 seat there....Awful.

Now looking back I'm sure it was to save money.Everyone was saying greatest ever and I was like get me tf outta here.

(How) Will The Slow and Subtle WT Internal Shift Affect Us?

by Solzhenitsyn in

as a "deep pimo" i can say that there is a confirmed re-branding.

the coordinators committee formed a focus group from service and teaching committees.

the results of that group roughly three+ years ago, with gb approval, trickled down to the other committees and eventually into what we have been seeing before our eyes in the org and local congs.. pick an organizational level and see the shift.

Thanks for the new light Beth Sarim :)
