My son has made his decision
by CaptainSchmideo inthis is the followup to this thread:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/276119/1/well-its-march-and-the-college-answers-are-coming-in#.uyjdu_ldv2e.
the financial aid offer came in.. the first year of attending is actually cheaper than what we were going to pay at the state university after their scholarship offer.. i mean, really cheaper.. we would be fools to turn it down.. they are even flying him in for the preview week.. .

Nephew Giving Once-Big-Shot-Elder Financial Aid
by snowbird inmy nephew is a graduate of an alabama university and harvard.. he didn't listen to the warnings about seeking higher education, and has a good job.. the elder sunk himself trying to keep his son, who did not apply himself in school, out of prison.. it's a sad situation, but it shows how foolish the wt's directives can be.. sylvia.

I can see this becoming more and more the norm as those who followed the wts directives on education and are now in financial despair will sponge off the ones who made the effort to get an education/qualification instead of going back to the wts and saying 'help me please I did all you asked' and, while getting help from the educated ones (who they probably shunned) will continue to do all the borg tells them to do.

I think lawyers are being used to write all the literature
by EndofMysteries inif you think about how they word and spin doctor everything, such as on jw org, the faq about shunning members who leave the religion....if a jw says, "look, it says you don't shun ex members and family ties remain no matter what!
", they will say, "na ah ah!!
if you look closely it talks about inactive ones who are not shunned, and as for family, the example is of a husband in the same household as his wife and children.

A deaf mute worked for the mob. He realized some people were disappearing for offending the mob and he new his situation was 'iffy'. So, he had been squirreling away funds and then they sprung him. The big don used a lawyer who used deaf speak to talk to the guy. Finally the big don said "tell us where the $$ are or else!" and took out his gun with a silencer.
The mute said in deaf speak, "the money is hidden in a false wall in the kitchen store, all large notes".
The lawyer then said to the big don, "He said go out the back and hang yourself!"
Lawyers dont you love 'em?

Troubling experience at 1 day assembly re: little jw child
by williamhconley injust had my 1day assembly this weekend.
an experience given by the bethel speaker was quite troubling and shows how jw's live in constant paranoia, anxiety and they isolate themselves from normal living.. a first grade class was having a fire drill.
everyone ( except one) lined up and stood outside away fron the classroom in the grass.

"The gentile times reconsidered"
by zebagain inhave just finished the book by olofsson on this subject.
anyone else read it.?
it is extremely detailed and not an easy read at all.

Have just finished the book by Olofsson on this subject. Anyone else read it.? It is extremely detailed and not an easy read at all. His use of many threads of research and records is astounding. No wonder it scared the daylights out of wts.
Sadly Oloffson does not give us a summary the book just ends.
I ask generally what is the point in looking for predictions in 'days' or what this means or that means? He does make clear that the wts is not the first group to 'prophecy' about dates and comings.He illuminates by revealing some rabbis were doing this generations before the wts came into being. Russels thinking is revealed as an offshoot of others and all have been proved wrong by the passing of time and the wts single support the dating to 607, 1914 etc has been left in rubble.
I have always had in mind jesus words; "no man knows the day.." and i feel anyone seeking the 'day' is presumptuous and should be occupying themselves with charitable works and any organisation seeking the 'day' is simply arrogant.

dont vote in elections hmm I recall the night when an elder made a very brief mention that voting was now considered a personal/conscience matter. The notice about a half 'a-5' size was put up on the notice board but was gone by the next week... funny that.
(We have a Senate election in April this year here in Australia)
