i think it would be great final chapter in my healing process, and would love to catch up with my life anyway (most of guys of my generation have finished it long ago and have kids).

i'm interested in science and engineering, but i'm afraid my mind my have become too dull over many years of brain washing.

social sciences sound great too but im not sure if i like them enough to pursue such degree to the end.

thank you zulukai, thank you very much for your moving experience. You are right about everything. I've called today couple of colleges and they are going to send enrollment pack and some more material so I can see what my options are.

p.s Reading you reply to some in my family they now also have desire do go back to university. Such is the power of real the life experiences :)

Time was when we would just have taken you out and killed you...'

sounds like what my jc told me.

'you know, we are being loving here.

time was when we would just have taken you out and killed you...' .

Well, thinking back now about it I'm not surprised at all. One thing that bothered me for long, long time was vigor with which many at watchtower or book study would comment ed how god is going to DESTROY evil doers. There was very little emphasis on love or compassion but on destruction. It looked as though many were taking pleasure in it.

What your opinion will the Governing Boneheads pull out all the stops?

what your opinion will the governing boneheads pull out all the stops, and get meaner and tougher in thier tactics and policy making in the near future and beyound or will they become more main stream and lighten up in thier harsh treatment of the flock?.

i see a very ominous trend in the organization that seems to becomeing more and more hardline.

as minimuses thread about a new search and destroy mission to df'n or da'n jws who stop going to indoctrination sessions and no long sell thier books, calling on them asking them if they still want to be jws, to which they must respond with an unqualifies yes or get the ax.. it seems to me that this is the trend, which may back fire and cause the governing boneheads some real problems in the future.

JW83,

Yes I am, thanks for that. Right now I'm just thinking about it, didn't do and inquiry yet. But that is really good news. I'm happy for you, good luck with your PhD too.

Thank you zulukai that was very well said.

I think JW are some of least educated people on the planet. Even jungle inhabitants know more about their environment and are more connected with it than JW are.
Mormons at leas have their own universities while JW would even take their kids out of primary schools if they could. How backward is that? And most disturbing of all they think that is completely normal. I wonder if even Amish people are that idiotic when it comes to education

Funny thing was the other day I’ve met this 50-something lady at the bus station, not knowing I was also a dub at one stage she tried to talk about religion, well in reality she was just looking for victims to unload her mags I guess, and half way through conversation she tells me how before she became a JW she was very open-minded. I just couldn’t hold it any more so I’ve asked –so what happened then? She just looked at me like suddenly waken up by fire alarm and after 2 minutes quickly found excuse to escape.

For many years I couldn’t understand their stance against education, until it finally hit me, it is much easier to control idiots. That’s the basic truth. Which fine for those in Brooklyn who will never have to work for living but what about millions of destroyed lives that have to struggle day after day working in underpaid jobs? I mean with amount of time WTS requires from every dub to devote to their cause you’d need a PhD paid job to keep it all in fine balance, wouldn’t you? I think with such idiotic attitude toward education they’ve sent many people in an early grave.
