It would have no impact on me. Just my mother is in and my sister but they wouldn't shun me. They know a lot of the teachings are BS but want a belief system.

Why do my farts smell like rotten egg? A recent Questions from young readers in the WatchTower magazine. The answer is quite profounding and will make all Atheist convert to Theism.
The gaseous substance in our digestive system has many sources of origin. It can come from the air molecules while speaking or eating. This gas can move through our intestines from our circulatory system. Then various processes occur: such as a multitude of God created bacteria present in our digestive tract to help break down material releasing gas. The odor that comes from fart is due to presence of small quantities of hydrogen sulfide as well as skatole in it. Sulfur is present in both of these compounds that produce a smelly fart.
Clearly, this complicated system in forming smelly farts is an indication of a divine plan indeed. Imagaine how many Atoms it takes to form all that gas.

I have several degrees but admittedly my English grammar is poor. I get corrected often but I don't mind it. I try to learn from the correction regardless of intent. In a forum like this, I expect some to correct me. I used to use the word "irregardless" in my speech all the time. I was corrected that this word was not standard and I should just say/write regardless. I appreciated the feedback and now notice even news casters use the word.
A degree is meaningless if you lack the skill in communicating your ideas. I remember sending an email to Gawker site some time ago and wrote it in less than twenty minutes. It was very detailed but I took no time in editing or proofreading. In my mind it was just an informal email to provide some details on an issue they were covering. To my surprise it was listed on their site and was the top topic for several days. The problem was the letter was poorly written and many attacked the grammatical inconsistency of the letter and ignored the content. Since then I've been working on improving my written grammar.
Education and knowledge is very important. Just remember it needs to come from www.jw.org

Your final WTF? Moment!
by restrangled init was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.
i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.
i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!

I had many WTF moments like others; especially the 1995 WT on 1914. That same year I graduated highschool and got a retail job. I was working overnights at this store in FT Myers, FL in 1999. I was only making $9.95 an hour but I met these two brothers working the same shift. One looked like he was in his 60's and the other late 40's early 50's. They were making around the same as me and was trying to support their family. They were nice men but I couldn't imagine struggling as an old man and not have a pot to piss in.
I was only in my early twenties then and had contributed to my 401k and IRA. Neither of these men knew nothing about retirement accounts or investing. I had more saved at 22 then they had at 50 and 62 combined. Now these men, if they are alive, are 65 and 77.
The relentless attacks on higher education and pursuing a career was it for me. I'm sadden from the personal stories I've read here of those who gave up their dreams in the 60's and 70's. Now they are older and feel they've been cheated.

I'm in America. I have a manager from Serbia that came here as a refugee. Her english was poor when she arrived but now she speaks clearly. She started out stocking shelves at minimum wage and now makes 80k as a manager. So anything is possible with hard work.

Evidence of Ocean of Water in or under Earth's Mantle.... Will people now state this to be proof of the Noah Account?
by adjusted knowledge in"the transition zone can hold a lot of water, and could potentially have the same amount of h2o [water] as all the world's ocean.".

i figured when people read this that there will be those claiming proof of the flood story.

"This is WRONG. If you can't see that may be you have some serious moral problems of your own."
My point is you offer information that has nothing to do with your arguement. Again mentioning your brother who work in the Attorney General's Office in Guam. Ok then what does that have to do with YOUR experience and YOUR expertise. My brother works and lives in Japan. I guess I'm an expert on Japan and its legal system.
Never said it wasn't wrong for failing to report abuse. In fact even pill mentioned he didn't do enough. Just stated your approach lacks tact. Which you keep proving. Sure I can wipe my ass with sand paper but I perfer Angel Soft. Maybe stop being so harsh. Do I believe Pill should do what you stated? Yes. Will he? He already answered that question. So I rather read, like the majority here, the rest of his story.
You just have a habit of making personal attacks, you know like "some serious moral problems of your own"
Waiting for your next personal attack.......
