All fundamental Christian sects hate higher education, they don't like people learning things it leads to realizing it's all BS

What is the basis for advising “Don’t pursue higher studies”?
by venus intwo elders who visited my friend last week encouraged her not to pursue higher studies.
it seems they are dishing out the same old stuff: “the end is imminent, and this is the time to do more in the service; hence don’t waste your resources on higher studies.”.
i wonder whether there was some official communiqué (something that is sent out recently like letter to the elders, or kingdom ministry article …).

Welcome and while at the meetings be sure and laugh out loud at the stupidity, roll your eyes a lot, snicker and pass a lot of gas.

West Palm Beach Christian Convention Center -- 10 Years Old
by SnakesInTheTower inwhile looking for info on another thread, i found this recent article on the old "leaky teepee" in west palm beach, florida...that was bought by the wtbts 10 years ago....for a song.... .
note the regrets of city officials in that they could have done what wt did and sold some of the land (wt sold a lot of the unused land to home depot and recovered a good portion of the $12.5 million they paid for the entire property).
it really is a beautiful property now, inside and out .

How did you feel when you got baptized?
by Schnufti inback in 2005, i remember sitting in the stadium in the special rows with 42 others.
8000 people were looking at us - maybe even with a binocular - while listening to the speech.
my family and my friends among them, being all proud of me.. i don't remember being enthusiastic.

Funny thing is I got baptized do to girls. You're considered an add man out if your not baptized, so to be able to date and to be part of the group one had to get baptized so that's what I did. Spiritual I felt nothing , in fact I didn't feel spiritual until after I woke and and thought I Knew what it was to be in Christ a true Christian. That didn't last long as I did further research on the Bible.

Looking for my little sister.
by DeadmanWalking ini have a little sister havnt seen or heard from in 20 years she was da for attending a church she was 17 at the time she moved out and lived with a family not jw's in fact they are very a posed to jw's the past 20 years i've tried to make contact she won't respond all i know is she's got kids 2 or 3 of them she lives outside charlotte nc and works for a insurance company as an underwriter.
i think her husband is a police officer ?
being back in her life having a niece or nephew to watch grow up would be nice.

She is probably thinking your trying to get her back in. Many people when they leave the cult they want nothing to do with it or the people in it, it's just to much for them to handle and a clean break is the way they go. Hope your able to make contact.

When was Genesis written, I think I have norrowed it down, maybe.
by Crazyguy ini was doing some research on the sumerians kings lists.
for those that don't know this list has a list of antediluvian kings that ruled before the flood.
this list translates to the same as the patriarchs before the flood in genesis, from adam down to noah.

Wiki doesn't say much different than the standard line. It even mentions Solomon which most experts believe didn't exist. We have to move past the standard line because it's all old BS.

Does the two witness rule still stand on minor sins?
by Homer notsimpson inits been pointed out to me that two eye witnesses are always needed for elders to form a judicial case.
the sister could have sex with a brother.
she confesses and he denies, he gets off free, sure.

Stuckinarut2 is so right, I just asked a couple of questions and was having a one one discussion with an elder about one subject and my reputation was all the while being ruined throughout my circuit!

The earliest found genesis fragments like you stated were 2 century and there's no evidence beyond the Bible that Saul ever existed and again no evidence of a kings list with ten names except that of Berossus. I think I could be on to something here.
