    More humblebragging seen via instagram and facebook lately from people coming home from PSS.. using hashtags for the usual "feeling blessed", "what a great privilege", etc., while pictured in some nice tailored dresses that are quite ostentatious actually.

    Anyway, what do they teach at PSS these days? Just curious.

    Shouldn't you have addressed your question to Desirous of Change ?

    I don't know what they teach these days. I hear it's only a week long now; when I went (several decades ago), it was two weeks.

    I don't remember being taught anything, really. I would love to have had a course on Bible history & archaeology, Bible languages, doctrine, etc.. but PSS was nothing like that when I went. Just seemed to be more motivational stuff, organizaitonal stuff, material on showing personal interest in the ministry, etc.

    In fact, the only two sections I remember now were on "accepting your lot in life" and "showing personal interest in the ministry".

    Why me?

    I didn't do it.

    I ran out of gas.

    I had a flat tire.

    Someone stole my car.

    IT WASN'T MY FAULT.....I SWEAR TO GOD!

    Same thing they teach anywhere else:

    You're not doing enough, you contemptible miserable worms!

    Obey us! Obey us! OBEY US!!

    We need your money.

    OBEY US!

    Most of the pioneer service schools are attended by the same pioneers that have attended in the past. I know of pioneers that have gone 4 times.

    I attended one of the first pioneer school in a foreign language. At that time, there was no way in hell that the branch would allow you to go to another. I tried to get the pioneer text in English so I could better help the english householders and was denied.
