  My son finally got his first car

  on saturday my son finally got around to getting his driver's license, and then on monday, he bought his first car.

  you might be thinking he is 16 or 17, but you'd be wrong.

  he is almost 22 and in his third year of college.

  today my wife and i went to college.

  although not allowed to go to college as jws we got to lead a class today and it was really special to be able to do that.

  the class was an honors class on social media and psychology and i created a presentation around the propaganda and manipulation used against us as jws.

  dubstepped thank you for sharing this.I hope you and your wife can get the opportunity to do more such presentations like this at other schools of learning ,well done .

  On a lighter side: At a TMS you would have got a G for presentation and delivery but I`m sorry to say your wife would have got a W for appearance simply because she wore slacks ,and then would have been taken into the backroom for a dressing down from the Elders.

  Apart from that I loved it

  you realize that your spiritual leader may be wackier than previous suicide cult leaders.

  Whatever JW.Org does they need to keep Stephen Lett on as a presenter on there video shows .

  I love the guy ,he does more to wake up normally asleep people than anything the WT publications who put there foot in their mouth ,backflips ,have ever done.

  a study of religious retention rates–that is, what percentage of people raised in a particular church or religion stay with it when they are grown–is quite interesting.

  https://www.patheos.com/blogs/geneveith/2012/07/religious-retention-rates/.

  jdubs have alittle over 36%.

  I`m surprised that the Mormons have 70% ? And the Catholics only 68% ?

  That`s nice Tammy sounds like your son has his head screwed on right and I wish him well in his studies .

  He's very wise when it comes to money, even more so than his parents.

  Sounds like my boys and their parents

  There is no way the WT /JW religion will be around for another 2000 years ,the writing is already on the wall for them.

  I have reached out over the years to a few I considered good friends while in the "truth" for 33 years and even though a couple seemed genuinely pleased that I made that initial contact they have never bothered to reciprocate my call to them and that has been years ago now.

  My philosophy now is "If they don`t want to know me ,I don`t want to know them "

  Due to the way Watchtower handles these matters by involving elders, judicial committees, the service and legal departments, they rarely stay within the bounds of the clergy-penitent privilege.

  And are the rank and file members of Jehovah`s witnesses even aware that the governing Body / Legal department resort to claiming Clergy-Penitent privilege in a court of law ?,when they proclaim to their congregations they do not have a Clergy class within there religion ? Thereby separating themselves from Christendom`s religions ?

  Are they not Hypocrites ? Liars ? Deceivers ? of what is true ?
