Gerrit Losch said that higher education was like putting a gun to your head (in English). Can't beat that for an us vs. them when the us is a lecture hall of university students!
I'll search around and see if I can find it.
my wife and i will be presenting in a class at the local university in a couple of weeks.
the class is about social media and psychology.
of course they talk about fake news and propaganda.

not that i spend much time on the cult's website, but i like to skim through their latest propaganda to make sure i'm up to date with their nuttiness.
(and when i say skim, i mean just that.
the wafer thin, dumbed down content can be read in like 2 mins flat).. i just had to share my thoughts on the above piece of trash.. no.
Learned WAY more than that in kindergarten - and it was a helluva lot more fun than any stupid kingdumb hall .

May 22, 1969 Awake!
false direction to young people -" you will never finish school or have a career before the end of this system" paraphrased promise
propaganda designed to keep young ones working for WT as a future.
Like some of your audience will be, I was a teen in '69 and my grandchildren have now been to university and now enjoying their professional careers as teachers engineers....
Lying bullshit WT propaganda

a picture being worth a thousand words...and if you can backdrop your presentation with images...
Many people here simply can't forget the Wts horrible in-house art work they were exposed to as children... worldlies are always hoodlums or sluts, smokers, long hairs, unshaven,
Violence from god always depicted as the earth opening up, fire from the sky, cities collapsing on fire ... one member here still remembers her fear of the drawing of a girl and her bicycle falling into the void ...published when she was herself a girl with a bicycle.
the wt used to have a long page on the ico website listing all the data they gathered and what they were going to do with it.
their basic contact listings are there but thats all??.
whats going on??
ICO?
so i was talking with my husband about all the things the organization is doing ie.
hiding pedophiles, lying about what 1914 was etc.
so his response was that the nation of israel had times when they weren’t doing the right thing, but it was still gods chosen organization.. another topic we were talking about was disfellowshipping.
Spirits, angels, devils and gods always where, and still are only fictional characters of human imaginations.
There is nothing (excepting education) to stop the inventing of a god and declaring some as "chosen people".
jw funeral last night.
it was about half an hour from start to finish.
they opened with basic facts about the person.
It has been said that JWs shoot their wounded, so it's not surprising that their dead are sloughed off exactly like "Old Light"... buried quickly and never to be brought up again.
All the horrible JW funerals are for the very "Millions...who will never die." so really each funeral is a testament to their batshit crazy doctrine and prophecies.
more subpoenas have been added.
so the watchtower is getting close to 50. i think there are about 44 of them listed here.
brumley the witchhunter!.
If all entities self represent that will leave only WT paying legal fees for each and every of 50 proceedures..
The optics would be great! ...locally newsworthy over and over and over..
WT as Goliath and all our friends as mere Davids seeking legal justice through dispersal of vital information warning of charities fraud, failing to report child sexual abuses and destruction of families worldwide by not respecting the rights of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association wherever JWs little lunatic theocracy enforces its sick parallel justice system.
i was intrigued by a forecast made by damo academy, the in-house technology and science research arm of china's, huge e-commerce business,, alibaba.. they seem to be predicting the following technology trends for 2019 and that artificial intelligence would continue to be the ho area of progress.. so what do any techies hanging out here think?
safe predictions?
wild guesses?
Mr. Conti glazed over climate change pretty fast given that it may well be the trigger to our extinction, and possibly soon.
my name is sophie, and i am currently in the class ap research.
the aim of ap research is to have students enter into an academic conversation that exists about a specific topic or issue.
for my research project, i have chosen to evaluate the social stress levels, or sense of belonging, within members of the jehovah’s witnesses community, due to my personal background with the religion.. the following attachment will help me collect data for my research.
Earnest -
It isn't "my" source, and I haven't drawn any conclusion from it . It was just one (likely biased) study among many others referenced by JW FACTS, regarding worldwide aberrant mental health statistics of JWs.
A challenge was issued to produce such a statistic and it was produced
Sophie is doing research as a student of Cornell on a topic of great interest to every member of this forum...we who spend hours howling and wailing about how the hypocrisy, dishonesty and dogma of WT continues to ruin so much in so many of our families and friends.
When invited to comment on how this cults insanity affects those in the work force, we shoot the messenger by challenging her affiliations, her motives and even her honesty (yes she really did see a figure as high as "...10 to 16 times...").
With such a welcome It might strike her as obvious that the anxiety, mistrust and paranoia might linger long after escaping the asylum that created it.
