Being Poor And Ignorant is Bad

    After many decades in the "truth", I found myself without a college
    degree and little money.

    Now, after walking away, my health is better - and I got a 2 yr
    degree (so far) and a nice IRA package.

    Folks, Mae West was right: "I've been rich and I've been poor
    and I can tell you being rich is much better"

    OK, so I'm not rich - at least yet
    but being a typical poor and ignorant Witness wasn't much fun.

    Fred,

    You can't do much with a
    degree on being a pussy.
    You may want to consider
    another degree after you
    pay on your defaulted student
    loan.

    Good for you! See how much a special pioneer card, or a JW good conduct badge is worth in the real world, not much I’m afraid. But a college degree, well that pays the rent. Good Luck to you.

    Really Fred, could you name a few?

    Last time I looked, health care and welfare were cradle to grave
    in Sweden. Depending on God to provide apparently works thru
    the state.

    Freeman,

    Can you name a few? Or do you live in a dream world?

    No Fred I can’t name a few, so I guess I do live in a dream world. Everyone I know that has a college degree also has a job too. So how are things in your world, you crazy cat?

    Fred Hall's diction and grammar obviously indicate, rather expose his thorough grasp and familiarity with ignorance. An ignorance of academic achievement.

    It is unfortunate that he has not availed himself of the many opportunities in the United States to enhance his growth, experience,outlook, more importantly his thinking skills.

    Where do minds sharpen themselves with other minds? Is it amongst a collective group of mutual admirers with judgmental tendencies, inflated egos and self-righteous behavior?

    At least in an academic setting, free speech reigns and the challenge is to create new ideas and foster new thinking.

    Fred Hall needs a personality, self-esteem, higher education and social skills. Life at Bethel is hardly comparable to dorm life on the east coast!
