FxMasterz: OK so get it straight that God's organization is not condemning higher education but as active and dedicated servants of God with duty under the control of God's only begotten Son we DISCOURAGE time and effort wasted in pursuing what is of no real benefit neither add up to what we are pursuing: God's Kingdom! Matthew 6:33-34 |

MaxInDHouse: Mathew 13:12 "Then He said to them, “Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.” What do you understand by the above statement made by the Lord Jesus Himself. A scribe was an highly educated fellow in the days when Jesus walked this earth in Jerusalem. Jesus said, if such an highly educated fellow is instructed into the kingdom of God, he is able to draw fresh and old treasures for the benefit of others. The high IQ that follows sound education is not to be discountenanced. It's useful also for the kingdom of God. Just look at Paul. 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse: Wrong! Are you saying that the Scribes cannot come into the kingdom? Do you know that many priests and Scribes actually came into the kingdom? NB: The kingdom is not your kingdom halls which are all synagogues of Satan. "And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith." Acts 6:7 1 Like |

FxMasterz: For the records, there are many youths amoung Jehovah's witnesses in African and Europe ,others that have University Education or are currently enrolled in one, without any opposition from anyone. Nevertheless I won't totally dismiss your curiousity, because there have been Few Cases where some individual get treated differently because they choose to pursue a degree. 1 Like |

FxMasterz: Note the highlighted! Scribes became OBEDIENT to the teachings of the Apostles and Older men in Christianity who never attended their theology schools. So if they became OBEDIENT to Jesus' disciples who never attended their Rabbinic schools of what benefit is their knowledge? ![]() |

FxMasterz: We strongly encourage our children or wards to pursue careers in God's service over secular careers in the name of making a name in this world. In line with Matthew 6:33, they keep seeking first the kingdom by such choice. But the choice of which pathway they will choose is theirs. They are strongly encouraged to learn vocational skills that will help them become useful to themselves and their families Earning a degree is almost useless in these days |

FxMasterz: Good question. He is going against the order of his Governing body attending University. Are you aware that JW Elders and Ministerial servants who are the people having positions in JW are removed from their positions if they attend University or if their Children attend the University? When I was a JW, my father was removed from his position as an Elder because my younger brother was in Law School. Ask Fornicator Aemmyjah and Islamist Mad MaxinDhouse why their Governing body would send Circuit Overseers to different congregations to remove Elders like this. What message are they passing across to JWs? The message is they discourage University education. Don't allow these jW miscreants to Deceive and lie to you with twisting of words. They are against University Education! They are the Boko Haram of Christianity. 2 Likes |

FxMasterz: This is even small. Do you know that back then when their former President of Watchtower Rutherford was ruling, he banned secondary school education? How did I know? I had a Late Uncle that left the Cult when this was going on. Their old publications reveal this. Rutherford said Jehovah's Witnesses must choose the Cult or Secondary school education. Guess what happened? Many Jehovah's Witnesses choose Secondary school and told Rutherford to go to Hell! No be today this Cult dey suffer mass decline in membership. E don Tay. When Rutherford saw that decline in membership means low income for himself and his Business Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, he was forced to retract the ban. 2 Likes |

Tomorrow he will say we don't eat food and you'll believe it Continue allowing a liar to sneeze onto your brain Everyone on NL that is familiar with Courz knows he's a malicious liar and has never dropped anything positive on NL he's a fool and you too are showing folly by believing his 'did you know that's without investigating for yourself If someone says that do you know your wife was a public slut, you'll believe it Mumu |

FxMasterz: I had 2 options Learning tech or going to school Pressure from my unbelieving parents so I'll be the first in the entire family to be a graduate was high I loved preaching and was encouraged to do tech if I wanted to and I'll be able to have time to preach more. I told my Witness Aunt 'Governing body is not my father to tell me what I should do with my life'. I regret it all now. My friends opted to learn a trade and they're preaching more and doing well in their business. School really affected me financially and spiritually. I have my spiritual goals but university education and that path won't allow me. But Jehovah appreciates those who makes sacrifices for the sake of his kingdom and many are counting their blessings If many young ones today are quitting school to learn business or tech or other careers, what about thise making sacrifices to do God's work fully? You're just envious. Mention one JW you've seen that is a failure or near failure cos he chose not to go to the university... |

FxMasterz: Of course! Whatever their leaders say is Law! Haven't you seen it in their responses? Rutherford who liked to be addressed as Judge Rutherford was their former President and he dictated their rules and Prophecies at that time. One thing you should know about JW is : Whoever becomes the leader dictates their rules and Doctrines! When Charles Taze Russell died, Rutherford took over by force like a typical Politician crazy for power and riches ( To show you the Politics that goes on in JW) and changed so many things. Back in Charles Taze Russell time, JW Men were free to wear Beards as long as his own. When he died, Rutherford came to enforce No Beard because he never liked Charles Taze Russell and needed his followers to look more like himself than Charles. So, Yes. Their Leaders rule JWs. Anything their leaders dictate, JWs follow whether they like it or not. After all, their Governing body call themselves their Future Kings. They rule JWS. They are a Government. ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

Aemmyjah: I'm sure Courz would prove it beyond reasonable doubt. He has presented proofs for everything he said here, so I have cause to believe him because of his track records. While you on the other hand have attempted to deceive me several times by manipulating my words and even the Bible. You have even subtly presented epic to me as epi just to prove a false point. Now that you're regretting your decision to attend a university, I hope you'll cancel your NYSC and shun any invitation to go collect your degree certificate from your school. You lying hypocrite! 2 Likes |
