  education was strongly discouraged among the witnesses.

  i am curious as to how many of you went on for further education and in what fields.

  *ahem* i take this moment to interrupt the usual in-fighting, cat calls, horrible insults, and general sniping to introduce a brief spelling lesson:.

  it's loser!

  that is how you spell someone who is not a winner.

  Ignorant Elder Comments

  by El Kabong in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know if this was discussed here before, but, what is the most ignorant comment you ever heard an elder say.

  i once had an elder say to me that my brother, who was at the time fighting in vietnam will be destroyed and killed over in 'nam because he did not accept "jehovah"!!!!

  i promptly told him to go "f" himself.

  Anointed

  by yrs2long in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this subject is really confusing to me.

  since it appears that the wtbts is not what it purports to be, what exactly is giving the "anointed" the impression that they have a heavenly calling?

  does any of ray franz' books tell exactly what made him feel that way?

  2. friends

  i see so many posts here saying that jehovah's witnesses are brain dead.

  i just don't think that is the case.

  i think its worse than that.

  Rescued!!

  by Chrissey in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i think its wonderful that there are so many who chose to tell their story here.

  some are very similar, some very different, but no matter what the story is that is told one fact remains; lives will forever be changed, and must be lived.. i'm no different than any other df'd jdub.

  i was baptized at 15, quit public school and started regular pioneering.

  Here's my story (I'm new here)....

  by crownboy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am a 4th generation witness (on both sides of the family) and indeed my entire family (save for the few who "fall away" in every family) are jehovah's witnesses.

  my dad is an elder, my mom a regular pioneer and my two elder sisters the same.

  my younger sister is 17 and still unbaptized, so therefore she is sort of a "black sheep" in our family and "spiritually weak" for not having already "taken the dip in the pool" (however, due to her overall open-minded nature, i am perhaps closest to her).
