after a few years of humming and hawing, i decided i would.

it was more of what i would take that held me back then if i should go.. i'm only 28, so i'm not too far behind.

we'll see how working full time and going to school will go.

SEXTUPLETS - little video from THE HOUR

by Will Power in

this was aired on a very popular cdn program called the hour with a cutie pie host - george strombolopoulus (i'm sure that this is mispelled).

great show and an unbelieveable little video.

it is still up on the site with over 2,000 views.

Wow, they packed a lot of info in that 4 1/2 mins!

Help! they're giving me a talk #4 entittled:" IDENTIFYING APOSTATES"

by dark angle in

this is quite awkward for me to give!

our elder gave me that assignment last week and should be delivered next week on the theocratic ministry school.

considering i have very unconventional views for the wts about blood, evolution, bible, and the gb, delivering this talk seemd quite maladroit.

The other thing I could suggest you do, is point to other religions as well, such as Mormons who have a similar view regarding apostacy and avoiding apostates so the JW's don't think they're alone in thier viewpoint and the attacks against them.

I'd say make sure you post your talk up once you're done ... but that would be a horrble give away as to who you are for any in the cong lurking now wouldn't it. Duh ... I'm a slow thinker sometimes.

I'd almost be tempted to give a soft point-of-view regarding apostates. Give the dictionary definition of apostate instead of the WT. Put us in a golden light.

BTW, I'm your TMS overseer and I had a fun time picking out who to give that one to.

Thanks for the support, advice and experience everyone.

I plan on taking Political Science at Brock University in St. Catharines, ON and then after that perhaps taking law at Queens or a school in Toronto but one step at a time. Brock is about 15 minutes from home so it'll be close for now. I'd love to take Math, but I've been away from it so long I'm quite afraid that I've forgotten more then I know (if that makes sence?).

I wish that my employer had a tuition reimbursement program! I've used it previously at other employers but the one I'm currently at doesn't. It's not really the type of industry that they encourage advancement, there really isn't any oppourtunity for advancement either.

You tube video: News coverage of Bethel

by BlackSwan of Memphis in

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epesrpd8ltg.

my husband and i were just watching this and we found it really interesting to watch.. his first impression was the amount of control that is exerted over the bethelites, "no free thinking" was his comment..

The video was cut short for the pics at then end. The last guy was mid sentance. I wonder what happened to the rest.

I'd be interested in finding out how others have found hitting the books more then 10 years after high school was for them. Anyone?

by hawkaw in

please just add an http:// at the beginning of all of these urls, then copy to your browser address area and click away.. i really didn't like to read about how the jws won all these court decisions on freedom when they don't even let their members be free but still the article is balanced enough to leave a serious indent on the side of shane's head.. hawkawl.freeservers.com/mclean's%20cover.jpg.

Here are some print quality images should you wish to have a hard copy. I subscribe to Macleans but for some reason they didn't send me this one, I called and they're resending it.
