Chia, i take it you're still in? Anyways, i totally hear what you're saying Chia, There's lots of community college and trades going down at the kingdom hall, to quote seinfeld " not that there's anything wrong with that " trades are the backbone of the job force. There are two younger brothers at my hall, lets call them fornication guy and flake boy, ( i'll let you think 'bout that for a second), anyways they're both going into trades, and i can see it now, i'll get the comments like " well fornication boy makes it to all the meetings and he's going to schoool, why can't you make it " now because 80 + percent of the people in my hall haven't had post secondary education they have no basis for comparison. It's like comparing apples and oranges, i have shit loads of homework each night, they won't that's just the nature of their area's of study. Needless to say, it's frustrating and i wish i could bring my ipod before and after the meeting so i don't have to listen to anybody's dumb ass comments, and for most of the meeting too except the local needs, for some reason i like the local needs. Anyways, that's my two cents for this morning
