Funny about me and College

by whatzup in

i have woke up for almost 2 years now.

i'm still a jw.

actually i'm a regular pioneer ready to quit it and just become a publisher and go to back to college.

I have woke up for almost 2 years now. I'm still a JW. Actually I'm a regular pioneer ready to quit it and just become a publisher and go to back to college. I started to study with JWs when I graduated from High School. I just took a semester in college and I had to quit cause the brother that gave me study told me that reading The Watchtower and Awake magazines was way too superior. He even told me that just reading them for 2 years was equal to 4 years of college. I believed it and i used to read every single magazine from cover to cover. It has been over 20 years now. I'm living from welfare and food stamps right now with my family. I guess That's the way Jehovah is providing for my family to make my pioneer. But recently I have been thinking what can I do since I woke up already to reality? The only choice I got is to get a real education. I don't know what to study since I think I'm still programmed. I already went to college, applied and got accepted. It was so funny cause it has been over 20 years since I don't go to school and I don't know how to chose the classes. I really don't know, I'm kind of lost, feeling stupid. (counting that I got the higher education of all, the Watchtower education).

Since I can't work with the education I got from being a JW cause I never got any kind of degree, What can I study? Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Christ Jesus vs Jesus Christ in RNWT

by wisdomfrombelow in

i noticed in the bible reading in titus this week that that they changed one instance of christ jesus to jesus christ.

it made me wonder why it was done and what benefit it could have in their doctrines..

My dear friends here is the reason why the GB puts sometimes Jesus Christ or Christ Jesus. Who is the mediator for the anointed ones? Jesus Christ or Christ Jesus? Read 1 Tim 2:5. Notice that the word Christ in this verse comes before Jesus. Once I read in a Watchtower magazine about the reason why it was this way. Since the word Christ means "anointed", that would mean that Jesus was the mediator between the 144k and JHWH. I can't remember exactly what Watchtower was explaining it this way.

District Assemblies and Circuit Assemblies getting farther away from home

by never a jw in

20 years ago the da's were in dodger stadium, 10-15 minute drive from home (east part of san fernando valley, los angeles area).

then moved to long beach, 45 minute drive.

now in 2014 they are moving to san diego, 2 1/2 hr drive.

I attend a Spanish congregation here near Long Beach. Our congregation and many others are being assigned to San Diego as well. I think half of the publishers wont be able to go to San Diego cause they are illegal immigrants. ( Not that I have and issue with their status) But there is one brother that thinks that he is too spiritual and an exemple for the rest. Also he is an spy for the elders. I guess he will have to go somewhere else cause he cant go to San Diego. Thanks God I wont see him there.

I saw the news in Spanish and they said it was an "Acomodador". (Attendant in English). And they said it was a child's parents who reported it to police.
