  just spent 8 hours in a 1 day elders school last weekend.

  clarification given: "moving forward any elder, ms, or pioneer who themselves or someone under their roof enrolls in higher education, may no longer qualify for privileges in the congregation.

  their qualifications will have to be reviewed by their boe.".

  Paradise? Was it?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  paradisewas it really paradise to be in paradise?adam and eve never were held by a mother, never cuddled and sung to with a lullaby nor nursed or coddled with tenderness or any human familial embrace.

  the first humans (adam and eve) never learned to toddle surrounded by brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles and grandparents cheering them on.

  the entire experience of childhood was excised surgically like a trauma patient awakening from an accident with amnesia.adam and eve were never in a neighborhood with other kids forming friendship bonds for life and exchanging dreams and hopes for a future they were building in their community.

  America is a plutocracy and many of the lower classes love it and defend it. Genius!

  Seems to me that this is the story of jw policy rather than your own. Would have liked to see more of your personal story/experience

  And thanks for your posts. I know the first step is a big one. Personally I still believe in God, Jesus and Bible but not sure what to do about it. Stay current but inactive and rarely at meetings now. Former MS, elder, pioneer, bethelite going back to pre 1975
