Further Education
by scotsman ini had lunch with a jw friend who's just finished a law degree.
she was saying that at the last circuit assembly the bethel speaker, (philip longstaffe) said that the society had not changed its stance on further education, and that college for vocational skills was all that they thought was ok. my friend's a bit of a free thinker (i'd half hoped that this lunch date was to tell me she had doubts, but no) so she doesn't give fig what they think.
i was actually appointed as an elder the month before i started attending uni and the co had told the other elders it was no reason to prevent my appointment.. anyone else heard this at their assemblies?

Do you know?
by Schizm ina certain jw doesn't believe in the 1914 doctrine any longer.
this, of course, naturally gives rise to certain serious problems.
for example, how can this person now continue to participate in field service activities and make use of the publications produced by the wts?

Possible Anti - Apostates here on JWD.
by link inthis is obviously in response to the thread "possible apostates here on jwd" started by flying high now.
it was clearly not intended to be taken seriously but it does reflect another possibility that should be considered seriously and that is that there are anti-apostates on this board.. i do not consider myself to be a particularly paranoid person but i have seen signs of things that do not seem quite right to me.
so what do i mean and how would an anti-apostate operate here?

Governing Buzzard Series
by Amazing ini am starting a new series called the governing buzzards ... it will feature bazaar, twisted, foolish, and strange teachings and policies of the watchtower organization.
anything from how they try to make themselves look really good ... to how they really appear when the sheeps clothing is removed ... ... yes, thre will be some embarassing moments for them ... ... and ... some shocking revelations ... but mostly, the governing buzzards will just appear ridiculus ... .i hope to make you laugh ... ... and maybe get mad but at the end of the day, relax and enjoy life ... ... some of this might even make you a little sick ... but ... i will try hard not to put you to sleep.
... perhaps parts of this series will make you think ... but, to the watchtower buzzards monitoring this board, you need to know that being an ex-jw apostate, ex-anointed is: ... because we no longer go door-to-door like suited robots ... no more silly, boring, never ending meetings ... ... and we have learned that we are not weeping and gnashing our teeth ... but instead we are doing great !!!

Do NGOs receive funding from the United Nations?
by somebodylovesme inthis question actually came up because i was thinking about independent charities and the potential advantages of them teaming up with the un.
then i thought... hmmmm if they could get funding... if ngos could get funding, that might explain why the watchtower would join.
what other benefits could there possibly be?
