    1. The education that we receive at the Kingdom Hall is the best in the universe.

    Except for the fact that it becomes "old light" so quickly, and the meetings get shortened, and ragazines reduced.

    "He also went on to rant about weddings and how "Christian" his was. Some sisters made some meals and other sisters sang Kingdom Melodies for entertainment."

    Seriously? That is awful! I would definitely need a flask to attend that wedding

    "The education that we receive at the Kingdom Hall is the best in the universe."

    The society is pounding this one HARD! The last two CAs I went to I recall hearing this from the stage more than once. They are taking the Joseph goebbles approach. "If you tell a lie big enough, and keep repeating it, the people will come to believe it"

    What's funny is that a couple years ago.....I head that line at a circuit assembly. The very next meeting I went to I must have heard at least 3 comments about how "we have the world's best education". All the GB has to do is write it or have it said at an assembly and it becomes gospel. The sheeple will not investigate, verify or prove it in any way. They'll just believe it and start parrotting it to others.

    no matter what, whatever popular movies are out, they are mentioned as "unfit for JW's"

    i remember JW's ripping Schindlers List, SCHINDLERS FREAKING LIST, because it was violent. LOL!

    Im sitting there thinking, "what the hell do you idiots think the holocost was? a disney movie?"

    they are idiots.

    ya know Billy that's true. Who would get a secular education if everything they learned was subject to revision while u were learning it. And if u don't accept the new twist, well u get kicked out of school. And if u insist on beleiving what was previously taught, as recent as the previous day, well they are going to ban u from contact with any student current or alumni, or administrator of the school.

    Gosh that sounds crazy when u say it out loud

    The badgering with their "education" is just a counterfit for the real education that someone would normally seek. I suppose it keeps nerves down and anxieties that u may not be doing enough to care for yourself or family. With this label of "education" it pacifies those concerns

    Hall is the best in the universe.

    WOW! Better than Oxford, Yale, Harvard? So I could be an expert window washer or janitor as opposed to a scientist, English professor or

    whatever else those other Universities could help/educate me to practice?

    I wonder whether the brothers and sisters in this hall would censor "The Shunning".

    No sex, no violence, no foul language, just uncomfortable comparisons!

    Yes, you are dead on with this! It is pretty amazing.

    skeeter1: Personally, I will not see the Hunger Games. But, that's my personal preference.

    And this is how it should be: a PERSONAL decision based on YOUR conscience, not some edict based on the "conscience" (READ Rules) of another person.

    wha happened?: Gosh that sounds crazy when u say it out loud

    That's because it IS!
