Question?
Did the recent jw tv anti education broadcasts cement the deal for you to go back to college?I had been considering it for a time, but to answer your question, yes it cemented the deal. I saw that crap and thought, "Screw this, I'm going back."

Congratulations. You can do pretty much anything related to education as long as you don't promote education to the congregation. I was an elder going to graduate school. I never told anyone and if anyone asked I simply said that my employer required me to go to school - I never entered into a discussion and certainly not a debate. -

I'm going to mention in casual conversation things like, "The other day in _____ class we were discussing _________ and an interesting point was brought out."
I can't wait for my privileges to be taken away.

Considering that you're studying biology, I think it's inevitable that your privileges go away. Just mention evolution to an elder or two and that'll be that.
It might also help you casually bring up evolution with your wife, but with all the progress you've been making with her lately, she might be mentally out before you start classes.

Well done!
Of course, you know that we wont be able to talk with you anymore, as you will be showing yourself to be very disobedient to the magnificent 7!
