Getting locked into the education taboo means low paying jobs. Even without pioneering.

JW views on saving and retirement
by neat blue dog inprobably one of the most common causes of cognitive dissonance many jws face is the choice to plan for retirement.
if you're a good jw, then you should believe that the end will be coming soon, surely before you retire.
that's what i did when i was younger, blowing decades that could've been better spent because i believed the end was coming, so any planning was a waste of time.

local, strange jw thinking
by lancelink ini was reading today that the last star wars movie will be playing next week.
doing a little searching, i found that there have been 12 movies in the saga total, ( box office, total (12 films): $9.323 billion.)..
it got me thinking about when the empire strikes back came out, it was the second movie ( 1980).

Strange and JW in same phrase. Need I say more?
We do want to hang on to parts of the world.
Wasnt star wars violent, contrary to the JW view of the universe?

That divorce thing. Separation is the recommended course for spiritual endangerment. Usually encourage adultery. The elders support and advice depends on how hot your wife is and if any of them think they are in a position to make a move.

What Are Your Predictions for 2020 and Beyond?
by The Bethelite in2020 the society will continue to have financial problems with massive pay outs because of their lack of protecting their young people from a religion that harbors thousands of pedophiles.
thus this and other religions that has an 1800's mentality will continue to lose their young people.
with the religion's lies easily found on the internet the smart ones will continue to leave in droves.

So the Witnesses still believe in rapture
by eyeslice2 inaccording today's watchtower, all the remaining ones of the anointed ones will be in heaven when the great tribulation breaks to join jesus in the battle against evil.
the watchtower was making the point that at that time god's organization will be ran by members of the 'other sheep'.
it didn't say how these remaining ones find themselves in heaven, but presumably they will be taken, i.e.

Dont feel bad about being rusty on 1918,19. They seem to not understand either, waffle. You can always get things to fit with a hammer.
I am still confused about October 4,5 too. Does the day start at Jerusalem, Greenwich, or new York?
As for ascending, do we get to watch? Maybe they will drop a garment( suit and tie) for the sucessor.

Proportional Representation vs Electoral Collages
by Simon inthe craziness of first-past-the-post elections .... we'll no doubt have to now live through the scotts demanding another referendum, because we may take their lands, but we will never take their freedom!
and so they want to be free of the uk, where they have a disproportionate influence in parliament, and be a little dot that's part of the eu.
yup, freedom.. but anyway, as it stands right now they have 48 seats after getting 1.2m votes.

Big problem with a bully majority not considering minority rights. Comes from both sides
