Higher Education... Some ideas for those that think it is too late

by adjusted knowledge in

jw

so many witnesses lost the opportunity to pursue higher education in their youths.

perhaps it took decades for many here to leave and now feel it is too late.

degree you will also earn multiple certifications from other agencies:.

This is great information! I finished the nursing program when I was 28. But now, at the age of 50, I'm enrolled back in

college, and loving it!! It's never too late!

Find What Your Social Status Was in the Congregation

by Mary in

ever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?

the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:.

1. at the top of the social order of things within the congregation is of course, the presiding overseer and his family.

My family growing up was part of the rank and file. My stepdad became a ms, but had to step down because he couldnt "control" his family. I knew in high school that it was a cult I wanted no part of. My mom was so depressed, she rarely came out of her room, leaving me to care for 4 younger siblings.

I was the one that made the elders work for their titles! I was constantly called into elder's meetings for any and everything!!

missing the JWD glory days

by fresh prince of ohio in

don't get me wrong, this forum currently has plenty of interesting discussions and posters, but, for those of you who weren't on the old jwd board in the early-to-mid-00s, man...i'm sorry but you really missed out on the glory years of this forum.

it was really a special, unique place then.

again, not dissing the current, but, that huge exciting wave of ex-jw internet activity that occurred in the early part of this century seems to have leveled off.
