  how many of you were required to give up a certain career you had in order to become a jw or before you could be baptised?.

  help here in naming all the job positions and careers that dubs are not allowed to have and the scriptural reason for it.

  detail if possible.. can a jw be a mortician?.

  Should I pretend to be Christian right now because of where I live?

  why didn't i follow the way of jesus and go to bethel?

  along with my other topic dealing with my searching for my place in this town, i come across plenty of people who follow their parents, go to church, and vote for bush and all that boring stuff.

  at subway today, there was a large group of happy christians ordering their food.

At Subway today, there was a large group of happy Christians ordering their food. One Christian guy asked the other Christian girl if she was going to Grace tonight. I looked away with disgust.
  
  I wonder, what if I was deeply interested in what the Jehovah's Witnesses taught? What would my life be like right now? Would I be much happier?
  
  Was I uninterested because of what I am? I was raised a JW, why didn't I stay one?
  
  I don't think I could go along with any Christian way right now, even just to gain friends. Going through all that BS is too much of a chore. That sucks too because most of the hot chicks here are hardcore Christian.

  I just got fired and I may not have enough money to go to Italy

  i just got fired from my job as a waiter because she said i sucked or something along those lines.

  i have a week before the fee is due, which is $1,700, and thats not including the plane ticket, my digging equipment, and extra spending money.

  i already made a $300 deposit, and $1,700 is only for 3 weeks.

  Well looks like I need to take another trip to the adviser. I was really leaning towards biology anyway, but I'm just scared. The introductory course I'm taking is horribly hard. I made a 60 on the second test, but an 80 on the first. Now that we're getting in genetics, I'm seriously interested in it. So I should do alright. If I go for a minor in anthropolgy, then I'm already have way done.

  So I may just have to just not go and maybe change my career goal. I'll still be an anthropology major, maybe change to biology. I just don't know if archeology is right for me. I would love to do it, but it seems like a very expensive career to get started. I've heard that its only good as a hobby, same for as being a musician. That means I would need a real job. I want to enjoy my real job too, but I don't know if thats very realistic. Right now, I just want to move out of the states. I like art, history, other cultures, and biology. But I don't want to be a doctor. Can you fill me in on whats out there?

I have a week before the fee is due, which is $1,700, and thats not including the plane ticket, my digging equipment, and extra spending money. I already made a $300 deposit, and $1,700 is only for 3 weeks. The project lasts for 5 weeks. I still need to scrounge up money for all the bills next month, and thats $650. I may not have enough money to go to field school in Italy this summer.
  
  What are the best options for me?
  
  The way I see it:
  1) Not go to Italy.
  I could take the $1700 I have saved up and use that for 2 months of bills. I could find a job at the same time or focus on school for those 2 months, instead of work. Those are the possibilities. Theres more:
  I may have to change my career goal in anthropology, instead of doing archaeology because I really need to go to field school to get a job right after college. I like art, history and I'm interested in the evolution of humans. Maybe physical anthropology would be good for me. I could study genetics of our early ancestors.
  Or I could become a rock star or be an artist, but most likely a rock star because my university doesn't offer any art degree or music degree. When I got fired tonight, the manager said I should do something with art, and that I'm not good at servicing people. The school, I'm attending now, is an agricultural and mechanical school, a red neck school. Why did I go here? I don't like it, but it was the only good choice I had at the time because my parents were against me going so far from home. Things are different now, I have a good amount of money saved up.
  
  2) Get a job. As I said above, I probably suck at servicing people, so I should work in art. What kind of jobs are out there that deal with art? My computer skills aren't up to date. I'm not savy with a lot of the art programs. My web building skills only go as far as Myspace building. I was thinking of becoming a rock star, doing gigs, but I suck at playing the guitar right now. I think I could be an awesome vocalist though.
  
  3) Drop out of this univeristy and move back in with my parents.
  If it comes to this, I won't be able to live. Since I'm under their roof, I would have to follow their rules. Most of, which I don't mind, except going to the meetings. I haven't gone to the meetings in what feels like 2 years now, probably really just a year. I can't go back.
  I will probably join the Marines. There's something inside me that wants action in foreign lands.

  Well I've seen a handful of Jehovah's Witness groups on Myspace, but they seem pretty close knit like the congregations.

I don't know whats up, but from browsing through his friends, his friend group seems pretty tight in the Jehovah's Witnesses circle. Am I that bad of an influence?
