  MTS & Gilead: Can we talk about how much of a FAILURE these 2 schools were/are?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know quite a few from both of these schools who basically crashed and burned once they got into their assignments.

  graduates of these schools would be thrown into foreign territorities or remote areas without a good visible means of support and would get emotionally, mentally, financially burned out.

  post your experiences or of those you know that went to these pitiful excuses for educational institutions..

  What apostates fail to recognize is...

  you can cut & paste all the excerpts from articles you want...you can leak all the boe letters, you can pretend to be witnesses and come to the conventions and meetings...but.

  no other organization can begin to rival the success and magnitude of the prophecy found in mt 24:14. so apostates....don't waste your time spending countless hours digging up articles and reading books to convince yourself to turn away from jh's organization.

  no matter what "evidence" you find you cannot ignore the obvious fulfillment of matthew 24:14.. .

  Tell us all here, just what "this good news" is that no other organization preaches. It certainly is NOT the SAME message that Christ and HIS followers preached in the Bible. We already know that.

  2. friends

  i didn't know eric particularly well, and i feel terrible that i didn't reach out to him more or try to help him while i still had the opportunity.. i feel extremely helpless, but the least i can do is help others remember him who knew him better.. here is a video i've uploaded to youtube in his honor.... .

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67a0imd6dng.

  i hope it helps us as we mourn a much-loved member of this forum.. .

  Shunning - Irony, Hypocrisy and Tragedy - Watchtower jw.org

  ***g7/09p.29 is it wrong to change your religion?***.

  "no one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family.".

  ironically, the religion and publisher of this statement is one of the biggest offenders with their shunning policy of its members who come to the conclusion that their form of worship is unacceptable.. for some, this severe shunning is too much to bear.. ...help me through this my old friends...i really did not want to be dfd!...i am fourth generation....i had already been shunned by my lifelong friends due to my outspoken words regarding my discovering we had changed the bible to make it say what jw's want it to...but now i have lost my family....oomps.
