  So an uneducated person rails against education. What a surprise!

  Sour grapes from jealous losers that are afraid of anyone having greater accomplishments than they.

  paradiseseeker, Congrats on the new job and welcome to the teaching profession.

  You won't get rich as a teacher, but you can certainly make a difference while helping shape young minds, encourage them to think for themselves and live up to their full potential.

  A bit of advice, after you have a year or two under your belt, pursue a Master's degree. Not only will it make you a better teacher it will also greatly increase your employability and earnings!

  August 2018 Study Watchtower - Some wise words for JW's to consider!

  by The Fall Guy in

  do you have the facts?.

  page 3 - as true christians, we need to develop the ability to evaluate information and reach accurate conclusions.. page 4 - it is especially important to avoid (view) websites promoted by apostates.

  (awakened jw's) their whole purpose is to tear down (inform) god’s people and to distort (reveal) the truth.

  Be sure you have the facts.

  It is literally impossible to be sure you have the facts—especially ALL the facts—if you only have a single source of information!

  It is important to learn to be open to, and sometimes even actively seek out, additional sources of information if we hope to even have a chance at knowing the facts.

  My JW Elder Brother Passed Away

  by minimus in

  he was basically a good man, just a believer in the religion.

  when we were both elders we were best of friends and then things deteriorated when i was not an elder for a while.

  then after becoming an elder again, i slowly drifted away from the religion and he drifted further away from me.

  I’m sorry to hear this Minimus. We need to treasure the little time we have with the people we love.

  That the beliefs and practices of this religion interferes with and oft prevents that is one of the many pieces of evidence that it is a destructive cult.

  Or ...

  “Let’s eat, grandma.”

  THEY act like the ones who are hurt??!!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. beliefs

  it really amazes me when jws act like we are hurting them!.

  many of us have found that if we stop associating with them for valid reasons, they act all upset and hurt that we would be "so cruel as to limit our association or cut them off".

  i know of friends here on the forum who have been told by parents that they "will shun them if they leave jehovah" , and yet when the shoe is on the other foot and our awake friends shun them first, the parents cry and bemoan the situation and say how "cruel it is to deprive them of their company".

  Cults actively cultivate a “victim mentality” and learned helplessness among their members. It keeps them docile and easier to control.

  Are we in a computer simulation?

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/simulation_hypothesis.

  consequences of living in a simulation[edit]some scholars speculate that the creators of our hypothetical simulation may have limited computing power; if so, after a certain point, the creators would have to deploy some sort of strategy to prevent simulations from themselves indefinitely creating high-fidelity simulations in unbounded regress.

  If you'll excuse me, I have to go reboot the Universe. I don't like how this one is turning out.
