    For Me:

    Don't worry about work, your husband will support you.

    You are spiritually weak if you go to college. (I went to a technical school)

    To Pioneer right after highschool.

    Studying the bible only is "independent research" - ie. you shouldn't be doing that, lol

    Not to read apostate literature.

    hmmm, that's all I can think of for now. Your turn!

    My entire Body of Elders, but particularly my Book Study Conductor: "Don't buy a house because Armageddon is so close...what is the point of investing in this old system of things?"

    I am happy I ignored that one.

    Here is one more...

    "As soon as you graduate highschool, regular pioneer for one year and then enroll at Bethel."

    Thank Jehovah and the Great Gazoo I ignored that one too.

    You don't need to get your GED now that you are a successful adult.
    (I was a janitor. There's nothing wrong with that, but it is not the goal I had.)

    Don't marry interracially, there are too many problems.

    If you pursue your secular goals, you will miss meetings and you may not
