  Reminds me of when someone found a cinnamon roll that resembled Mother Theresa. As my mother observed, "Don't they all?"

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

  by adjusted knowledge in

  2. friends

  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:.

  ....those WHO think it is too late.........

  Went to college in my late 30s/early 40s. Spent as much time on math homework as all my other classes put together. Though I didn't finish (too many responsibilities and no support) the LEARNING was invaluable. Helped me to get a job using my brain instead of my back. Best of all, I learned how to THINK.

  We autodidacts can be proud, but a little higher education is a great discipline to broaden our horizons. Highly recommended.

  Sail Away,

  Thanks for telling us your heartbreaking story. You made some very good points ("Jehovah would have to wipe out my memory of them. If god did that, just who would that be in paradise—").

  So glad for you that you are finally free.

  Macau, China.

  I was at the other (real) Venice last month. It was incredibly beautiful and the gondoliers do dress that way, but I didn't hear any of them singing.

  Family Gathering ( or the day also known as Thanksgiving)

  every year on a certain thursday in november my family and close witness friends would get together, eat menudo ( hispanic stew) and other foods, watch football and then get dressed to go to the meeting.. sister so and so would bring her famous pie, bro and sister so and so would bring their gross punch and bro and sis so and so would bring mexican sweet bread.

  sometimes we would go to "worldy" aunt's and pick up plates of turkey and fixins.. this was every year on a certain date, on a certain thursday in november.. this continued until my mom got alzheimers.

  by that time i was married and had my own house.

  Yup. We had turkey dinner with all the traditional trimmings on Thanksgiving every year because, "turkeys are on sale and everyone is off work."

  My JW aunt started having a "toy party" every year when her kids were young (but old enough to feel the sting of being left out of Christmas). I believe she had it in summer. Not sure the kids were mollified, but I'm sure they were confused.

  It would be like any expression that is not meant to be taken as literal.

  "Jesus H. Christ!" (Whereas his actual middle initial is K. For Kevin.)

  If those two kids can't make it, what hope is there for any of us? What could possibly go wrong?

  Suggestion: Don't Accept Everyone's Opinion Here

  2. friends

  everyone has an opinion on things.

  oftentimes, we ask for help or want the view of the board in a matter.

  but just remember, the comments are simply personal views.

  no doubt you have heard about the nurse that thumbed her nose to the state and went out of the house in spite of being ordered to stay at home.

  what is your opinion on this?.

  She is a well planned plant by the CDC.

  I was not aware that we were at war with the CDC.
