just looking on jw.org at an education related topic; http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/g201210/what-parents-can-do/.
be reasonable with regard to how much education to pursue.. as mentioned earlier, education can help prepare your child for responsible adulthood.
(genesis 2:24) but how much schooling does reaching that goal require?.
it's very misleading. Statements like what you quoted above aren't necessarily wrong. There's definitely some college degrees that are worthless and some trades that can pay very very well.
The problem is what they aren't telling you there. That page doesn't mention that a JW can get in trouble for going to college for a bachelors or greater. If you have privileges such as MS/Elder/Pioneer you can have them removed if you or a member of your household goes to college.
with the recent success of the website which really seem to be working beyond at least my expectations, will the wt get a twitter account in the near(ish) future?.
those who guess right win the bragging rights.
my guess is no since twitter invite to much discussion, however they will eventually jump on a popular twitter-like social media service when one arise that is more easily controlled..
hell no. they won't setup anything that allows for direction interaction.
my still-in wife has asked we prepare a "go-bag" with all the stuff we need in case of a natural disaster....we live in a country where there is none!.
but when i asked where this all came from she mentioned hurricanes etc but again we live in an area where they can never be things like this.. thus i suspect this is a society based instruction...can anyone enlighten me?.
are the society advising dubs to be doom preppers???
Interestingly enough, Bethelites were encouraged to have go-bags even BEFORE Katrina. That definitely sparked speculation that 'the end was close' if bethel was preparing for when shit hit the fan.
this topic is of a theological nature.
if you have some scriptural insight, please share.
grievances are not welcome!.
okayyyyyy

(thanks breakfast of champions).
holy fucking shit. that picture. that's the most blatant scare tactic I've seen them use in years. Talk about speculating.
obviously i'm having ex cult issues, family still in and a wife that's all kokoo for cocopuffs as well as our marriage isn't good.
i would like to leave her, she has never been the kind of wife i wanted.
anyway the stress is getting to be to much, thinking about things all the time and its effecting my work as well as otherthings.
I usually post a lot of bad jokes on this board, but i'm going to be 100000% serious here. I hope no one takes offense at this.
DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY MEDICAL ADVICE IN THIS THREAD. Go see a mental health specialist. Find one that you click with.
this is interesting.
lots of posts praising and defending palestinians .
i have yet to see one post from anyone defending israel.
oh boy an I/P thread. What fun will come out of this.
spouse said local congregation meeting they attended they were handing out jw.org pins and most of the brothers/ some sisters were wearing them during meeting.
speaker was wearing one.
lol.
I just got back from an international convention and man, people put the JW.ORG symbol and text on EVERYTHING. Pins, sunglasses, umbrellas, book bags, EVERYTHING. It's like someone went hog wild on Cafe Press. It's sickening. It's like that scene in Spaceballs when Yogurt shows off the merchandise booth he runs.
here's a thought: we're told over and over how employers sing the praises of their jw employees, sometimes with a vague quote about how 'if we could only hire jws, we would as they are so honest'.
however, while some jw employers themselves may hire jw employees (usually cheap entry level positions), most don't.
in fact, many jw's in general who have businesses have a rule not to do work with jws, even those in their congregation.
I think it can go either way. I know some JW's who employed other JWs with no problems. I know some who have nothing but problems. I know some non-JW employers who don't hire JW's. I know of places that love to hire JW's. In my old congregation a medium sized business loved to hire JWs. Many worked there for years and I guess it worked out for everyone.
