  Why the name change from Watchtower Bible College of Gilead to Watchtower Bible School of Gilead?

  by was a new boy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  did too many jehovah's witness kids get curious about wanting to go to a real college?.

  they really don't give an explanation, it's like old light and new light, one reads the new light, and .

  in the spirit of loyalty, the subject gets dropped, and there's no more talk about the old name again.. .

  Did too many Jehovah's Witness kids get curious about wanting to go to a real college?

  Knorr started it up in 1943, and after 1946 one never read about it as a 'College' again.

  
  

  Was the 'College' name a scandal?
  

  
  

  Perhaps Knorr thought that Jesus picking them in 1918 was the best “Accreditation” one needed?

  
  

  WT 2/15/43 p 61

  
  

  'This college is a gracious provision of Jehovah to that end,...

  
  

  The word “ college” appears in the Bible record, at 2 Kings 2 2 .1 4 and 2 Chronicles 3 4 :2 2 ,

  in connection with the typical Theocracy over the Israelites.

  
  

  It was at the capital city, Jerusalem. The word “ college” is here translated from the Hebrew word

  “ mishneh” , which means literally “ doubling or repeating”.

  
  If the word here means an institution of learning, where the prophetess Huldah dwelt, then it marks

  a “ college” as a place where instruction on special subjects is repeated but in an advanced and more

  intensified m y so as to increase one’s familiarity, capacity and efficiency therein, and thus

  doubling one’s ability.

  
  

  It is a secondary institution, and hence farther advanced than a primary one.

  
  

  Such, indeed, is the Watchtower Bible College of Gilead. It is so called because it is operated and

  maintained by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Inc., of New York, and the college faculty

  of instructors are ordained ministers who are representatives of the Society.

  Though listed according to the law of the land as a “ religious institution”, it is in fact a Christian

  college for Bible training.'

  Does Gilead have any accreditation?

  by journey-on in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when a witness talks about someone who has "graduated" from gilead, they always make it sound like such an accomplishment as if they graduated from harvard or somethin...lol.

  i know it's called the watchtower bible school of gilead and is located at the watchtower educational center in patterson, ny (sounds impressive, uh?)..

  it used to be known as the watchtower bible college of gilead in south lansing, ny.. does this school have any accreditation that you know of or is it just glorified classroom training for jw "missionaries"?

  Tests are graded. Can someone flunk out? I am sure if they did a really poor job they could. Those tests are designed to be passed, but not without proper study.

  We all heard it back in the day. Perhaps the quote is from a Circuit Overseer's letter; unable to find it in print anywhere.

  'The school’s curriculum of studies is a full program offering 26 weeks of higher, college-level training equivalent to one year in secular colleges or universities. After ten years, in January, 1953, the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead was finally officially recognized by the United States Office of Education in Washington, D.C., as offering higher education comparable to professional colleges and educational institutions.'

  You know the religious party is over when members of the 'fifth generation' are making videos.

  'Rose here welcome to my channel “I didn’t know because I didn’t realize I needed to know” I am a born in elders daughter, fifth generation.'
