From the WTS standards, possibly. Is he an apostate by the true definition of the word? I do not think so. I consider him a spiritual person who is conscientious of his spiritual need and does work at trying to do what is pleasing to Jehovah (or Yahweh) and his son Jesus Christ (from what I have read from his posts).

Are Liberal Arts Degree worth it?
by truthseeker inan excellent article, which also refutes the idea that people only go to college to get rich and make money.. http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/departments/elearning/?article=liberalartsare liberal arts degrees worth anything?by jim pollock.
for everyone who says that a liberal arts degree doesn't prepare you for anything, you'll find someone else who claims that it prepares you for everything.
well, both, to some extent.the one thing that's pretty much certain is that right out of the gate, a liberal arts grad will tend to pull a smaller starting salary than his or her friends who majored in business or a technical field.

Ok, ok.... I have to admit, I do know one woman who has done quite well with a Liberal Arts degree. She actually became a well-paid VP at a large bank... of course she was the daughter of the man who owned the bank she worked at.
Yeah more often than not expensive private liberal arts colleges are great for kids of wealthy families who are heirs to a family fortune and don't actually have to make money on their own merits but inherit a position in a family business, etc.

I didn't finish up my liberal arts undergraduate studies. I went to vocational school and got an additional diploma to go next to my high school diploma and then only got through 2 years of undergraduate study at a hellaceously expensive private liberal arts college. I took upper level classes for my major when I was a freshman (I was an English major) and enjoyed it but ran out of money. My educational experience has helped me even though Im not making a fortune. I done the best with what I acquired and now work as a medical transcriptionist (college experience has helped me learn how to learn and thus I taught myself and perservered in learning extensive medical terminology to be able to type any kind of medical report from any medical specialty). I work in a large clinic and supervise 8 other medical transcriptionists in the department- 2 have a liberal arts degree- one in fine arts and the other in theatre and another has a degree as a dietitian.
I do want to go back and finish up but now I dont know what I want to get it in and what for but I have many different interests. I would like to study literature and other stuff for personal development but I thought about moving into a different area of the medical/healthcare field.

How Do JWs Show They're Hypocrites?
by minimus inone thing that always pissed me off was when "faithful wives" used to blame their "unbelieving husbands" for making them celebrate birthdays, exchange xmas gifts, go to "worldly" get togethers, play the lottery, etc.

They are more than happy to waste their paper and ink to tell the world about all the past history of "christendom" and all it's failings yet sue others for exposing their writings in their past publications.

Mention of Jehovah's Witnesses in popular entertainment
by enderby ini don't know if this thread has been done before, but can anybody think of times that jehovah's witnesses were made mention of or joked about in music, tv, or movies?
for example,there are a couple of simpsons episodes, one were marge alludes to being so desperate for company that jehovah's witnesses ran away when she went to get them more lemonade.
another time, two jw's approach the simpsons' house and one turns to the other just before ringing the doorbell and asks "ruby, do you ever think we should get real jobs?".

I remember watching the movie The Coneheads and David Spade and I can't remember the other actor was at the door of the conehead's house trying to get information from them and they posted as JWs.
