The Governing Body is going all out at this years Convention. They are still DISCOURAGING University Education.
I guess the End must be Real Close
In the video, a brother was contemplating taking an opportunity to go to a university. Even people in the hall encouraged him to go. But instead, he chose a trade school to get a job quicker. Then his dad died. Because he already had a job, he was able to care for his family. The video claims that if he had gone to a university, he would have still would have been in school when his family needed him.
Then they go on to say that listening to Jehovah was a blessing. Typical propaganda. Family tragedy can strike when you’re in a trade school too. So basically, don’t make any long-term plans, because tragedy can happen at any time?
By that logic, Bethel shouldn’t make long-term plans either, since a branch could be banned in an instant.
As usual, they used someone’s personal tragedy in a very specific situation to “prove” their rules are best. Leveraging the emotional intensity of their tragedy rather than logic to convey their point. Are you telling me there are no good stories where someone went to a university?
