use a little more sense. if you have apptitude in certain fields(fields with high demand) and go for a degree in that particular field, you are a lock for a high paying job. if you simply use the term "college degree" then no, it is not what it used to be and you can wind up with a pretty useless document. there is a lot coming in the way of education though, especially online with the edx thing. if all of this massive online learning (which is not credit based) takes off, i wonder if borg tower will change their position.

Perfect follow up post to the one above this
by cptkirk incan anyone out there in cyberland explain how a woman being raped by her dentist (becoming pregnant in the process), and then the "elders" of her congregation disefellowshipping her for (i would imagine fornication & lying about it), how this can be seen as refinement????.
if a person gets a disease (say cancer) whatever, and then they go through hell but they beat it...i can at least see how this could be seen as refining, because then the person may appreciate their family more, appreciate friends, everything in life that is good more, and then becomes a better person because of it.. but how the hell does a woman being put through the situation mentioned, how can that possibly be seen as refinement?
refinement for what?

Here:
James 1:13 - "for with evil things god cannot be tried nor he himself try anyone"
NOR HE HIMSELF TRY ANYONE????? HELLO?
NOR HE HIMSELF TRY ANYONE.
EVIL:
2.
harmful; injurious: evil laws.
3.
characterized or accompanied by misfortune or suffering; unfortunate; disastrous: to be fallen on evil days.
4.
due to actual or imputed bad conduct or character: an evil reputation.
Cross examination please. Oh sorry the defense rests? next.

I hate to spoil their fun, but I do believe there is a scripture that says, paraphrasing--god cannot be charged with evil. i've heard numerous talks that go into great detail as to the definition of "evil", and these definitions (in these talks) would be 100% in line with what that woman suffered through, they would define this as evil. so we have established the definition of evil, and we have also established that god cannot be charged with evil.....but the body of elders who are directly carrying the holy spirit --commit evil. can't have your cake and eat it too, sorry guys.

But how the hell does a woman being put through the situation mentioned, how can that possibly be seen as refinement? refinement for what? to be refined in remembering that the people telling you that god speaks directly to them are lying to you? to help remind you not to take everything that is said from the GB seriously?
please i'm not trying to be sarcastic, if someone knows, i really would also like to know also.

More bewildering scriptures
by cptkirk ini'm pretty sure the wt folks used this scripture to try and highlight some greater principle with regard to keeping ones mouth shut, but i don't think it was long lived.
i've never heard any opinions on its meaning, only what i was told by 1 elder.
it is jude verse 9. it basically says that michael was arguing with the devil about the usage of moses' dead body, but it becomes even more perplexing when the scripture says michael "did not *dare*" bring a judgement against him(the devil) in abusive terms.

Has a wrong disfellowshipping ever been reversed?
by lostnotfound inim not talking about simply being reinstated.
i remember hearing a story about a brother that was disfellowshipped because of the testimony of two false witnesses.
years passed before they admitted to lying about the brother and was reinstated.. what is policy in this sort of situation?

I totally agree that they are nazi's in one very very specific area. when the war was over and they had those trials , so many of them said what? "we were just taking orders". more passive aggressive bullshit that they can relinquish any responsibility for on the basis of "just taking orders". i can see exactly what happened flipper, they are so damned passive aggressive, rather then just say "hey this is out of our hands and its not our business" etc. they had to track you down like a dog , why? because of the passive aggressive hatred that they walk this earth carrying, waiting always to point at a new target. why is that passive aggressive? because the truth is they are motivated by hate, they themselves are so pathological they aren't even aware of it, but what they really want to do is come pull you out of your house and stone you old style. they know they can't get away with that so they couch their intentions within all this judicial bullshit, passive aggressive. you must "hate" what is bad. ohhh you don't hate the person though....lol yea right, that was evident, don't think so.
in their minds, they are thinking "ohhhhh he is doing what? ohhhhhh and he is HIDING FROM US, ME SMELL BLOOD YUMMMMM BLOOODD" some think it's a joke or i'm being stupid, but it is 100% dead on for anyone that really knows. if they smell fear in you, it makes it 100% worse, it really gets their blood craze going. if you said that to one of them though what do you think they would say? they would be absolutely 100% clueless as to what is going on in their own mind, or they would be 100% absolute in denial and telling you that you are crazy for suggesting anything like that. they thought you were hiding from them and it escalated their blood craze, guaranteed. it's endemic. it's porn for elders. that is what happens when you are so sexually repressed you turn into a bloodthirsty maniac. that is why they tell the fighters not to have sex when they are training.

and the sad thing is, they probably had that girl so brainwashed that even after the fact that they found out it was the dentist, she probably had stockholm syndrome and went right back into the org.

How Many Times Has The World Nearly Ended?
by metatron ini'm about to suggest a chilling thought: given that a nuclear war could end the world, how many times have we come within seconds of that happening?.
http://brainbender.blogspot.com/2013/02/20-nuclear-war-near-misses.html.
here's another incredible thought - if you do a google search on the subject of near nuclear wars, the lists often come up with completely different near misses.
