Can You Find Education That Satisfies?

[goodlife]

If you were offered the opportunity to enjoy genuine happiness, radiant health and real security, would you grasp it? However, you may say: But does such opportunity really exist?’ Yes, it does. These benefits can be obtained by means of an education that is offered free to all people throughout the earth. (John 17:3)

[Mosaic]

I think you will find Ofsted has an opinion on that.

[Canary42]

That's not education, it's brainwashing.

[rowanwitch]

Trouble is fantasy teachers are not really recommended due to a lack of effectiveness

[sherrardk]

Do religious people not get ill then, or experience unhappiness or lack of security? Can't see how being religious guarantees health, happiness and security myself.

Must have had a new pot of paste for Christmas!

Well the leg's a bit dodgy at the moment but I can honestly say I only found genuine happiness and real security when I ditched the Catholic church and embraced Paganism.

"Mark you this, Bassanio,
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart:
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath"

Merchant of Venice, Act 1 Scene 3

Goodlife, you really do talk garbage!! I have all those things and im an Atheist!

In my last job in a dementia unit we had a JW lady suffering from severe dementia, she really was a tortured soul, unfortunately her only son (an elder) could rarely visit as he was dying from cancer of the colon. where I work now we have an JW staff member, she hasn't been able to work all over the Christmas period and is now deeply in debt and cant pay her mortgage as she is very sick in hospital, is this the type of radiant health and security that you talk about? You seem to forget Goodlife, we all know people that are JW and we all know that their lives are not that much different to ours, they just have fewer friends due to their cranky beliefs!! Now stop talking out your a$$ and get a life, you are not converting anybody, most people just think you are a just an irritating and deluded fool.

[Psybbo]

A real loss to the Catholic Church! Think of the priests that could have been maimed!

[gness]

Sib....I have only ever maimed one priest....he is now a folk singer in L.A. However........I have been responsible for a number of men seeking the security of a seminary. x

[tonyav]

Strangely, gness, I felt the same when I was no longer forced to go to church by my school at the age of 15. Up to then it was compulsory to attend about four times a year. I never liked it. It did nothing for me. I only went because I had to, very often getting frozen and soaked as we all trudged the mile or so to the church.

We had a large Jewish contingent in my school. They were naturally excused and other "worship" was said to have been arranged for them whilst we were at St. Mary's. I later discovered, though, from one of my Jewish friends that they simply had "free study" whilst we were at Church. This sounded so attractive I considered adopting the Jewish faith when I was about 12.

Once you were fifteen you were allowed to decide for yourself whether to attend and I never did thereafter. Since then I've certainly had my share of "genuine happiness, radiant health and real security" despite being a devout atheist.

[Barmaid]

Well the education which lead to genuine happiness and real security cost me the best part of £10k, so it was hardly free.

[gness]

As have I New Judge despite, at the age of sixty two, still having pressure from my family and the odd nun or priest to return to the fold. I see nothing there to encourage me......quite the opposite.

[woofgang]

I tell you what...I believe on god and even I am finding this boring.

[rowanwitch]

I wish we knew where goodlife lived we could take turns knocking on his door with copies of our favourite magazines or copies of the FCOAB book

[goodlife]

I give you all one out ten.no three out ten.
