i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.
as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?
surely education should come first.
Thanks for the thought Julia.
I think I'm a little too old to restart. I've been stuck with menial jobs and put up with the injustices of corporate America for years.
If I had my life to live over I would have learned a trade and gone to school to become a paleo-anthropologist (The study of prehistoric humans).
The trade would have been a back up since paleo-anthropology is a limited field with a long line of aspiring students.

Jonathan Drake:
"The only time the master kept the wife and kids is when he was the one who provided the wife, and the slave didn't bring his wife originally."
And what happened to the woman who did not have a seven year limit like the men did. And the children who could be kept as slaves - for how long even if it's a child? The age of seniority? Indefinitely?
how can there possibly be a reason for this?

Vidqun: "If you attempted to liberate a Roman slave,..."
I did not say that Christians should be liberating the slaves of non-Christians, I simply said that they could have told a person wanting to become a Christian that they had to liberate their own slaves as a precondition to joining the Christian community. That would not effect the Roman empire at all since slave masters had the right to liberate their own slaves.
