Higher Education - is it really the end of the WT?

by OutsiderLookingIn in

as a non-jw, before i started looking into things, i must say i only encountered intelligent jws.

so i was quite surprised to read here and in the pew report about their low overall educational achievement.

granted, my exposure was limited (less than a handful of people over a lifetime) but i met two of them in post-college education (graduate school) at a very good school.

ctrwtf

The WT is playing the numbers. Yes there are those that will remain "loyal" even with an education. But most, after being taught critical thinking skills, will not. Ironically, thanks to the "internets" the same people that access their website are expanding their thinking skills by browsing TTATT.

NEW BLOOD CARD w/ FORCED COMPLIANCE also LEGALISM

by apocalypse in

i have looked around and i don't see this covered, so i am starting a thread.. 1) the new "blood card" goes beyond being just a "blood card".. 2) a new edict concerning compliance.. pay attention to the changes.. first, the new card is termed "advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment".

the big change with the card itself is that it includes an 'override' of your "power of attorney".

this is huge.

ctrwtf

This closes all the loopholes. If you don't provide them a copy, they'll take it upon themselves to make sure you fill it out. And yes, the HLC Gestapo will show up at the hospital to make sure you comply or are summarily DF'd.

If you refuse to fill it out, you will also be summarily DF'd as an apostate.

Just hope you never need a transfusion. Wow am I glad I faded.

This just screams CULT.

not mansfield u k , but mansfield in u s a - it doesn't look much, does it?

in fact even the uber dubs on j w talk are not impressed (that must be a first!

this thread of theirs is publicly readable:.

ctrwtf

That forum is unbelievable! Are these real people? Typical for the Wits to be chastising each other for questioning whether or not the building is appealing (personal choice). If the same conversation took place on this board it would go like this:

A. I think this building is ugly.

B. Watch yourself, you're not agreeing with the brothers.

A. F&^k Off!

Who can come up with the punch line why JW's are not delusional.

by James Mixon in

jw seek treatment for mental breakdown.. he tells the physician, my non-jw family tell me i'm nuts because i preach we are the only true religion (jws).. the doctor said that is strange because i have two patients that checked in yesterday and they .

each said they belong to the only true religions.

one is a mormon and the other a muslim.. so the doctor thought i will lock all three up in the same room for the night and see what.

ctrwtf

They won't vote for Trump! Woopsie saw the correction. This is why they're not delusional.

Of course they are delusional in every other aspect of thought.

Hashtag "BESTLIFEEVER!!"

by Lostwun in

is it just me or does it grind your gears when you see #bestlifeever hashtag after every damn jw post on fb and instagram?.

i rarely get on instagram anymore because i dont want to deal with the jw propaganda but i swear sometimes i just want to comment on one of those pics 'jw life is the worst life ever wake up already'.

does anyone else know what i'm talking about?

ctrwtf

Loss of personal freedom. Droning banality of three meetings a week. Loss of personal thought. Loss of self directed medical treatment. Fear of the future. Disillusionment. Loss of family. Obligation to publishing corporation with no pay. No holidays. No celebration of self. No education. No career. Fear of having children. Fear of punishment from a "loving" god. Fear of thinking for oneself. Denial of sexual identity. Relegating the rest of humanity to destruction.

Sounds more like #mylifesucks!!!!!!!

July 2016 W T Article Gives Reassurance to Aging Publishers

by BluesBrother in

congregations are full of older ones who were led to expect the end when they were still young enough to work ,and stay forever young.

now these ones face a sparse old age with little provision set aside.

the article ""do not be afraid .

ctrwtf

Only in the JW universe is depending on strangers for food and shelter a good thing.

In the real world these people were misled into abandoning all to work for a publishing/real estate magnate then finding out that there is no paradise for them.

June 2016 WT (study edition) Bashing Higher Education....AGAIN!

by ToesUp in

jw
friends

paragraph 14: .

"this means that we need to examine our heart constantly to see if it is being enticed by worldly entertainment, associations, and styles of dress and grooming.

or the love of the world might involve efforts to attain “great things,” such as through the pursuit of higher education.

ctrwtf

There are a number of MD's whose kids go to my kids school. We talk sometimes at the kids field hockey games and believe me, they're not attaining "great things."

They work constantly and pretty much hope to put their kids through school and retire. That's about it. I don't get what the hubbub is about from the WT. People don't need to go to college to figure out that it's a cult.

My New Thoughts on Adam and Eve (don't laugh)

by xjwsrock in

warning for those that are still believers... this train of thought will not be faith strengthening.... i have come a long way since first stumbling on crumbs of ttatt in 2012.

(i have not come nearly as far with the wife unfortunately, but such is life.

) my critical thinking ability, thankfully, is in another stratosphere since figuring out i was a jw lab rat.
