PS. I advocate teaching ABOUT things. Sex education, abstinence not how to. Gun safety. and the biggies for JWs: flag salute and the pledge. Everyone should be able to recite and explain the origin. Then make up their mind on participation.

What Do You Think About Home Schooling?
by minimus ini knew a few witnesses who were very proud of the fact that their kids were homeschooled.
years ago, i would raise my eyebrows wondering why these families couldn’t simply integrate their kids with other “worldly” kids.
at this point in time, with so many theories being pushed on kids and their parents, i can see why parents, if they are qualified, could instruct their kids themselves.

I knew of a 12 year old who could not read a scripture at the door. Home schooled. Others excelled and could do the work in 2 or 3 hours.
My state has standards and testing and followup and actual school districts set up; complete with online discussions and field trips where everyone met. But some kids are just ditching.

David Splane's apostate warning convention talk
by neat blue dog ini know this recent video has been talked about already but i just watched it and here are a few things that got me annoyed as usual:.
splane says that if a bible student says he saw some negative information from apostates and asks us to explain it, we shouldn't look at it or address anything specifically, but instead we should tell them to go to meetings and hear what we have to say about ourselves and also tell them to befriend people at the hall.
for any person with integrity and/or intelligence, this is not a satisfactory answer.

The scripture in question says, "Does not the ear test out words as the tongue tastes food?"
Or in my case I refuse to eat my broccoli. No idea how it tastes.
As for just attending meetings ; the model pretend skits are NOT what you really observe

Ralph Walls implausible 2021 Convention field service story
by RULES & REGULATIONS inanother implausible field service story told by ralph walls at the 2021 convention.
get ready for this unrealistic, stupid, dull and boring, made up fiction that is presented at this assembly.. some years ago ( tells a story but doesn't know exact date ), a brother ( doesn't give his name ) in mexico ( doesn't name the town) from the rurals, dressed in a very simple garb ( to show he was not showy ) knocked at the door of a palatial mansion.
( a very rich ''worldly'' person must live here ).

There are a lot of urban legends and folk tales that circulate. I heard stories from a Presbyterian workmate that then were related from the stage at assemblies. The same stories were also Baptist, catholic and whatever.
Adoption stories, the men behind the woman, blind obedience, poor teaching the rich, lost billfolds, $20 blowing by in the wind saving a pioneer.
Move to different genre and bibles stop bullets, fuses fail. Actually it was a deck of cards and a bullet that had already gone through 6 other soldiers.

What’s Wrong With President Biden?
by minimus ini just watched excerpts from his cnn town hall event and something is seriously wrong with him.
he can’t put together a sentence without getting lost, tripping on his own words, forgetting what he is talking about.……this is embarrassing.
and it’s not because he has a stutter!

Some of cant sing. If a mute button gets off you hear some froggy notes. Few songs are suitable for singing anyway.
That showing off decorations. I always want to put a rifle hanging on the wall.

I think Splane is the Cult Leader. And I think there are more apostates working on the inside than we can imagine.
by pistolpete inso in the latest leaked video, splane goes on this crazy delusional rant about how faithful witnesses should never research their faith.. he criticizes the worldly court system and says they are not fair toward witnesses and the organization.
he says the court system is rigged and witnesses who get convicted, (implied child sex abusers) are innocent.
he is literally trying to justify child molesters and elders who cover them, as good people in "god's eyes" even though "human authorities" may judge them and put them in jail.

I didnt watch it all. The thing is longer than a sunday meeting.
I did pick out bribed judges which could be Russia. But he also mentioned making deals to avoid information coming out. Settling out of court has nothing to do with a case between 2 brothers.
I never saw a bigger sour puss. Kinda a " you will obey" expression.

The people upset by letters are overreacting
Every week I get 2 or 3 car insurance offers, someone willing to buy my house, St. JUDE, shrine hospital, PETA, and travel offers. Simple to trash them.
