I'd be in my final year of nursing school if I didn't quit
by Younglove1999 inabout 3 years i decided enough of being "content" with the fact that i had a decent job, if i was going to work, i wanted to do something that i loved.
i've always wanted to get into medicine.
but being that i was 23, married, owned a home, worked full time and never went to college, it wasn't going to work out for me to just enter into college and then proceed onto medical school.

i am in a similar boat as you. i dropped out of community college while going for my nursing degree and decided to reg pioneer. 10 years later i am dissociated and starting school again at 28 years old. yes, most of the people in my classes are younger than me and i am going part time so that i can work full time and pay those wonderfull bills, but in 3 or 4 years i will be where i should have been 8 years ago. i also feel very bad about not sticking with it. i could be making good money now and be in a happy job situation but i have to start everything over again and work full time while i do it. boy i am too tired and busy to do anything but i will get it done, and so can you... jason

dont know the band but that new song where they keep saying; "thanks for the memories even if they were'nt so great". that reminds me that its all behind me now. but as for my atheism i definately have to go with Roger Waters' "what god wants" song: What God wants God gets God help us all What God wants God gets The kid in the corner looked at the priest And fingered his pale blue Japanese guitar The priest said God wants goodness God wants light God wants mayhem God wants a clean fight What God wants God gets Don't look so surprised It's only dogma The alien prophet cried The beetle and the springbok Took the bible from its hook The monkey in the corner Wrote the lesson in his book What God wants God gets God help us all God wants peace God wants war God wants famine God wants chain stories What God wants God gets God wants sedition God wants sex God wants freedom God wants semtex What God wants God gets Don't look so surprised I'm only joking The alien comic cried The jackass and hyena Took the feather from its book The monkey in the corner Wrote the joke down his book What God wants God gets God wants boarders God wants crack God wants rainfall God wants wetbacks What God wants God gets God wants voodoo God wants shrines God wants law God wants organised crime God wants crusade God wants jihad God wants good God wants bad

Has being a JW made you a better person?
by lfcviking inok most of us here on this board (including me) have got our grumbles with the wt for various reasons but please consider this:.
if you came into the 'truth' from the world at whatever point on your life and and have since then left the 'truth', do you think that you are a better person now than before you joined?.
lfcv.

growing up a jw make me nieve, scared, paraniod, emotionaly drained and weak in a world of possibilities. i can't stop thinking about where i could be today if i was taught how to grow up in the world and to be all that i could and wanted to be. i would have been a lot better off than i am now.

Addams Family and other TV Shows
by jws ini recently picked up a copy of the original addams family tv show on dvd because i loved the movies, but never saw the original tv shows because my parents would not let me for jw reasons (presumably for demonism, witchcraft, etc.).
i'm about 12 episodes in and i don't know why this was banned.
ok, there's thing (a hand/arm), and a bear skin rug that growls.

i wasn't allowed to watch the cartoon He-Man because he would stand on the mountain and say "I have the power!" and only jehovah had the power. i watched it anyway, just turned it down when he said that. three stooges was too violent, i dream of geenie was ok, i think the munsters were supposed to be dead people so we couldn't watch that but it was ok for mom and dad to sneak in an R rated charles bronson movie. don't ask, just accept it...

do you guys think the society approved this film? there has to be some kind of consent for the film maker to record and publisize the copyrited songs and allow prayers to be knowingly recorded. don't the cong. members also have to give consent for themselves to be recorded and shown on a documentary?

oh hay i got another one. my mother is a little korean lady that still to this day doesn't know enough english to write her own talk. she gave a part (many parts) where she demonstrated how someone with her lack of english can pioneer and still have bible studies. little do they know that my sister writes her talks because mommy is just not smart enough to do it on her own. and the only reason she has so many bible studies is because its fun to have a little oriental lady come over your house to talk to you about the bible in broken english. till this day not one of her bible studies has taken to the truth.
