It is kind of sad to here about all the opportunities given to lazy people. There are actually hard working talented people out there that would kill for a decent opportunity. When I was in grade 1 my teacher actually came to my parents house to try to persuade them to let me go to an advanced class she thought I was a prodigy or something. My music teacher thought the same and tried to persuade my parents. I also broke the middle school record for the 100 yard. My gym teacher wanted me to join track. Anyway instead of earning a scholarship and a degree. I have to here people say things like {Are you trying to make me look bad?} Or why are you so anal? So here my wife and I sit with no health insurance and no real prospects. I don't want pity but it sure would be nice to have a real life. It is amazing to me that few people care about what they do.{ I say few ,but I don't actually no anyone} I wake up at night when I have a complicated job. I try to think of every possibility and be prepared for it. I guess I am rambling now so I will close. Thanks Jeff

Jeff,you sound like a great person with all sorts of talents. I hope you are able to make use of those talents more and more as your life goes on. Dong things you enjoy and are so good at brings more than just fun and happiness, but many times also a source of income. That additiional source of income is only a positive, especially when you need to fund retirement, and emergency funds etc... Jeff I believe I see you are now on the pathway to much more sucess in your life. You have seen a glimpse of living life NOW, working at things you aregoodat and like doing, and planing for your financial future. You have started to see past the opressive veil of the WTBTS.
I am trying to get my husband to get interested in things he used to be so interestd in, and was very good at. I think for him it was a combination of depression and wanting to renew his assoication with the JW that killed those desires. I listen carefully for him to relate about things he used to long aago enjoy and learn a lot about. Then I encorage him to take it up again. This is a very long row to hoe. Sooooo slow. I pray each day for the seeds of doubt in the JW life to grow, and for his desire to live life to the fullest will overcome his depression.
