  Samuel Herd's Gunter Schabowski moment

  by Gorbatchov in

  the samuel herd broadcasting about the layoff of fulltime wts employees, made me think about the gunter schabowski press conference in november 1989.. the correlations:.

  - samuel and gunter read their message from paper.

  uninterested, not enough informed.

  I wish Herd would pull a Bud Dwyer during the next JW broadcast.

  Did I imagine a brief thaw in the Watchtower injunction against going to university?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower

  okay i was talking to an elder and he said me going to university was a bad idea and i should have listened to the society and not gone.

  but i said that when i went to university the watchtower was saying it might not be a bad idea to go to, as long as you do it for the "right reasons", don't associate with worldly people, and keep clear of "damaging ideas".

  but basically they said it was okay, in this "changing world" and job market to go to university.

  One other difference is that pre-1992, it was just really looked down on, but it still happened. Some JW kids still went to college. I don't remember anyone back then losing privileges because of it. I knew at least 2 elders who sent their kids to college. Now, though, it's basically a sin.

  They've tripled-down on it. College is the worst thing ever. Parents can lose privileges if they send a kid to college.

  I was there roughly ten years ago. The stipend was about $120. Once you factor in transportation costs, you were left with 50 bucks or so. People who used cars to drive for meetings or service, could get a reimbursement on the mileage. Not sure how much that was.

  What is the org’s view on extraterrestrial life?

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  i am sure that it has been discussed before.

  but just out of curiosity, what is the orgs view on extraterrestrial life?

  the org certainly agrees that the universe is infinitely large.

  Beth Sarim is right. They don't believe in ETs (like little green men) because it puts a giant hole in the Universal Sovereignty thing.

  guys .

  a letter was just read in out kh stating that all printing of wt and awake is ceased for the coming year and we will just place tracts on fs, countries which were cared by our branch will be cared by other countries...along with this they read the new fs form and stuff about reporting links of videos wtf..lol.

  that doesn't make any sense at all. I can see ceasing production of the mags, but not even having them at all? No way.

  a older sister in miami florida has told me that the special pioneer couple who got their walking papers last week said they are also voting members of the watchtower society.

  also his stock share is valued at $800,000!.

  i did some research and spoke to some longtime witnesses and found out that there are 500 voting members of the society and they are also called shareholders.. has anyone ever of someone selling his share?.

  Ummm. What you posted at the beginning. It's literally impossible that this couple has 800k worth of WT stock.
