an update on my life post education..... as the governing body continue to denounce higher education, reality continues to prove their words ignorant, ill informed and blatant lies.

i am proud and astonished to say i have just been accepted for a university teaching hospital post.

i have a seriously sought after, senior house officer job in intensive care, endocrinology and clinical pharmacology.

It has always been a great sin to give any fund to the United Way and now they are accepting donations from them. There is so much hypocrisy. I will definitely keep this united way little tidbit in my arsenal to bring up when the opportunity affords itself.

They are relentless in this warfare against education. But I believe that this stance will come back to bite them in their behind at some point in the near future.

Watchtower is still enjoying the benefits of the older generation that saved and contributed heavily. My parents for example were immigrants, who worked very hard, scraped, saved and contributed generously to the the organization. I can say the same for my in-laws. The check book came out pretty quickly whenever the org begged for money.

As this older generation is about to die off, these generous funds will dry up. My generation just doesn't have the same funds. Most of my peers in the congregation are just scraping by because they are uneducated and at best can only get minimum wage jobs and i don't believe they are putting one red cent in the contribution box.

So who will support the org in the next 10-20 years? It certainly will not be the ones that put education to the side. So i think watchtower is shooting itself in the foot.

KEEP IT UP WATCHTOWER

The WTBTS and Elders have too many stupid rules!

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

i hated ministry book bags.i hated coming out of my home with the book bags looking like i was going to a seminar.so,i starting going to the ministry school and sunday bible meetings holding only the required books for that day in my hand.. for the sunday meetings,i would just carry the song book,bible and watchtower magazine in my hand.

no book bag!

for the ministry school,i would just carry just what necessary for the evening.

OMG the stupid rules would fill volumes. What about the one where a brother couldn't say the prayer unless he was wearing a jacket. I can remember an old spare jacket hanging in the vestibule ready to be worn by poor smutck that forgot his.

Advice needed on Crisis of Conscience

by cappytan in

so, some of you may have seen my thread from yesterday about my wife waking up.. we had further discussion yesterday evening after i sent her the pbs video on the abuse scandals plaguing the watchtower.

she was so furious and pissed off at wt hq.

apparently a close relative of her's was abused by an elder and the only reason he was reproved and removed as an elder was because he confessed.

Give her the book or pdf and let her chose to read it when she feels comfortable. That's what my hubby did for me. Once I read Crisis of Conscience all the pieces of the puzzle will come together for her.
