Does Gilead have any accreditation?
by journey-on inwhen a witness talks about someone who has "graduated" from gilead, they always make it sound like such an accomplishment as if they graduated from harvard or somethin...lol.
i know it's called the watchtower bible school of gilead and is located at the watchtower educational center in patterson, ny (sounds impressive, uh?)..
it used to be known as the watchtower bible college of gilead in south lansing, ny.. does this school have any accreditation that you know of or is it just glorified classroom training for jw "missionaries"?

by Witness 007 inat a young witnesses party i went to, someone read out this article to get some laughs...we laught so much a pioneer brother stormed out saying "we were dis-respecting the faithful slave.".
watch 61 p.766-767 question; "how can a girl guard against temptation in this sex-crazy world.
...in answer to this question, we can learn about nature and sex from the bovine family of mammals, both wild and tame.

Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT stupid!
by nicolaou inafter several years 'out' i can't be the only one who still gets a bit pissed off to hear 'oh so clever' apostates slagging off jw's for being dumb, stupid and worse.
grow up!
the beliefs of jehovah's witnesses are certainly stupid but then i'd say the same for all christian belief just as many of you might condemn my atheistic, evolutionary postion as being nonsense.

Shouldn't the Watchtower study be renamed the "congregation bible study"?
by yadda yadda 2 inwhy rename the "congregation book study" the "congregation bible study" (a broad, generic term that could be applied to all meetings really) when surely it would have been more appropriate to rename the "watchtower study" that?.
after all, the watchtower study is touted as a "bible study" by the whole congregation, right?
jw's consider the watchtower study as the main weekly study of the bible that they do as a congregation, right?
