I don't fear death as much as dying painfully. My husband thought it was funny a couple of nights ago to describe what he thought it would be like to be buried alive...after his commentary, I laid there for 2 hours as he soundly slept.

Post-JW education?
by rebelledat12 ini was interested in how many of you took up higher education after leaving the jws, and how old you were etc.
i started college at age 23 (still enrolled at 24), my mother got her ged at 35 - disfellowshipped and started college at 40 - and will graduate at 45 from the university of florida in june.
my inactive sister is a freshman in college, right on time.. my jw brother has two kids and washes windows.

Carmel,
If I may clarify my statement that secondary education isn't for everyone. I say that because I have a friend that worked as an apprentice in her fathers lucrative electrical business and now is part owner. She know's more than most people about residential electrical inspections and makes a butt load of cash. She really didn't have the desire for college or the need to learn a specific trade. I know a lot of really smart people who never went to college. I don't think that everyone who skips college ends up on the streets with a gun. I agree that by and large, everyone benefits from education, I just think it is pretty general to say everyone has to go to college to get it. -

I didn't go to college until after I left the organization. I felt very strange at first. I was mid 20's and had felt much older, but there were several other students my age in a few of the classes. I think you appreciate it a little more when you're older anyway. I'm not saying secondary education is for everyone,but for myself, I think it was worth it. I have a pretty good job and I like what I do.

I also want to say thank you here to Angharad for removing the link and Reborn for jumping in to look out for us and Comf for telling me how to rectify. I also want to say thanks you to anyone who read this post for not rubbing in the fact that I was a big dingbat!...I was waiting to get berated (post JW behavior no doubt) Thanks to all...

I feel really realy really stupid, and probably shouldn't even share this with everyone, but I went to the site and put in my own email address to see if I could get my secondary account that I use for junk mail. Yes, I feel really stupid (again) for doing it, I didn't even THINK it would be a sight to get my current password.
Maybe I am a little ignorant about people's intentions, and I'm not sure why this was posted in the first place. So now what? Someone has my password?

My story
by ConnieLynn ini have actually been on this board for a few months and never really posted how i ended up here.
maybe it would be healthy,,.
i was raised as a witness, my dad was an elder and my mom vacation pioneered, eventually she was an auxiliary pioneer, so witness activities were always going on.

Awesome...I was only in Neyland stadium one time, but that place is huge! You can actually see the game better on Televison. I still follow the team even though I don't live there anymore. (and I follow Peyton Manning and the Colts because of the Vols)!
