Surely a university didn’t randomly approach her and give her a scholarship? ? This week's WT-study: The Watchtower - April 2018 - "Young People, Are You Focused on Spiritual Goals?" Watchtower is trying to influence those who might be thinking about a university level education to drop the idea, based on simplistic and anecdotal information First, lawyers are usually not talking to bank staff - the lawyer's assistant is. Second, what lawyer ever says: "I'm so unhappy," especially to some random person at a bank. That doesn't invalidate the reality that just because one person noticed that some of the millions of people who followed the career path are unhappy, does not mean that it is wrong to follow that career path or that anyone who does will be unhappy. Flawed reasoning at its worst. Notice I did not say logic, because there is no logic to their reasoning.

This week's WT-study: The Watchtower - April 2018 - "Young People, Are You Focused on Spiritual Goals?" The Winter Olympics? The f***ing Winter Olympics. So you're telling me this lady was one of the best athletes in her nation, good enough to go to the Olympic f***ing Games, a level of skill which already requires incredible dedication to reach. Which she passed on to go be a regular pioneer instead. And this was back in the 80s since it's been over 30 years. Well sister, you passed on a rare, once in a lifetime opportunity to do something only a handful of people get a chance to, something which apparently you had already been training to do, in order to do something you could have started the next fucking year. But I mean the end was probably so close, wasn't it? I'm sure you'll get extra Paradise for banging on people's doors to annoy them at 9:40am instead of the 15-ish months you'd have spent training doing a thing you apparently love to compete at Lake Placid or wherever. The f***ing Olympics, bullshit.

This week's WT-study: The Watchtower - April 2018 - "Young People, Are You Focused on Spiritual Goals?" Paragraph 16: One does simply not join a sports club without any knowledge of what kind of sport it is! "Hey newfound friend. Would you like to join our sports club?" "Yeah.. Of course.. What is it all about?" "It's no big deal." "Is it soccer?" "Nah.." "Curling? Dart? Diving?" "Join the club, and you'll find out.." "Is it golf? Oh man.. I love golf.." "Just sign here.." [Few weeks later..] "Oh.. It was MMA. I'm happy no one brought golf clubs, then.." With that disability to critical thinking, before signing up to anything, I wouldn't consider "Christoph's" baptism as a true sign of "strong faith"..
