  Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.

  i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.

  it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

  I am sure the no university mantra is partly to blame for the loss of my son. He was on a gifted track but good old dad ( pimo) and mom ( pimi) had to hold the line. That discouraged him in school and he found other outlets. We still keep track of him and do not shun, he IS ours

  Joe Biden and Push-up Contests

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the past, the former vp has challenged trump to a push-up contest and today he did again , only this time to an 83 year old man who told biden that he thought he was too old to run for president.

  it appears biden called him fat and unlike the man he wasn’t sedentary.

  then he challenged the man to a push-up contest.

  All he had to reply was that Hunter got the job on qualifications, not because daddy was vp

  That year bs. Definitely biblical🙄. Look at the prime bible example they use; pretty bad conduct by any standards but it was resolved in less than a year

  Cant even recognize from 10 or 20 years ago. Next week there is surely more light forthcoming

  When does the new dark start? I have been in wild lands where you had to orient yourself mid day because the sun was setting later

  i hear rumbling about the rank and file not having the same zeal they had when new.. lets see: door to door at the time least likely to find someone.

  waste of a whole morning.

  isolated.

  Lets see: door to door at the time least likely to find someone. Waste of a whole morning. isolated. service groups. No coherent message. Getting old frail, and poor. Being Pushed to do more. Realization that 100 years didnt really bring progress.

  There is surely more

  If you want a used car go to your local dealer. Better condition and lower price from what i heard

  Some elders are lousy speakers, alas, they were sometimes the more humane. Does this mean we will not have to endure a thick african accent? How about those ones who sound like tent revival preachers?

  The talk is already for witnesses. Any explanation of doctrine is long gone. I never could figure how it was a public talk except being open to anyone. Same for the study WT, all aimed at inside people.

  Goes along with the book: " What did the bible really used to teach".

  Long hair

  Indeed the poor were JWs, but i knew their situation and how they had acted toward others. The ones who squandered helping hands were ones i know of, but it was not my money in those cases

  I know one sister who has a non husband and he is very generous with some who are facing troubles. He also has the means more than most

  Rub

  I mean stealing in the way some companies look and recruit employees who were maybe first recruited on campus. They take the ones who have a proven work record. It is a sad fact that any loyalty of a company to employees is long gone so I dont blame people for moving.

  As for typing slowly; I test at 96th percentile so have good comprehension. In my career I held my own with engineers. I stand by my remark about educated fools. Agree with Simon

  That is the scheme part. Someone with no work record but papers is a big gamble. No experience in applying knowledge. The other side of recruiting on campus is stealing people from other companies .
