The link says that 'John Cedars' has said that these guys are nothing to do with AAWA ... I thought 'John Cedars' claimed to have severed links with AAWA after the Facebook debacle? Yet he is still a spokesman for them?

Higher Education... Some ideas for those that think it is too late
by adjusted knowledge inso 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:.

I started a law degree at the age of 38, graduated this year at the age of 44. It was through a part time distance program. I have also done an online teaching certificate. I'm now studying a Masters.
I have recently been offered a few hours teaching law at the local college and hope to move into it full time within the next two years.
Take a look at the University of London International Programmes, it's very cheap in comparison to other schools and a world class university.

When Was Jerusalem Destroyed By The Babylonians?
by Smart incan someone explain in easy to understand language what this argument is all about.
i am not that clever.
i am hoping to talk to the elders about this as well as whoever is willing to talk about it on here.

Bear in mind that Russell stated Jerusalem was destroyed in 606BC too, he counted the year zero in his calculations. When Rutherford in the 1920's realised that there was no year zero, that 1BC-1AD was one year not two, rather than moving the date from 1914 to 1915, he moved the date 606BC back to 607BC.

It's always puzzled me that it's called the World Series, yet nobody outside of the USA plays baseball. The nearest thing we have is a girls game called rounders :)

Why do people support abusers in the NFL?
by Simon ini really don't get it.. in most sports in most countries your career is rightly over if you commit certain crimes.. but not in the good old nfl !.
it seems players can rape, beat women, abuse children, fight dogs ... and they will not only be allowed to play but they will have an army of fans wearing their names on their shirts and cheering them on.. the abuse and arrogant attitudes seem to exist at all levels - it seems like there is an endless feed of news stories where some high-school or college football players have abused or raped girls and they end up being allowed back to play and people rallying round as though *they* are the victims.. surely, whatever someone's skills as an athlete are, there are some things that simply can't be excused?.
or is winning truly 'everything' and it doesn't matter the cost?.

The same reasons Mike Tyson still has his fans I guess. People are blinded by celebrity. Others spring to mind ... Chris Brown, Paul Gascoigne.

Matt 6:34 - Is it realistic?
by punkofnice intherefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
each day has enough trouble of its own.. .
true or false?.

This is one of the wisest things Jesus has said. Of course we have to plan for tomorrow, but Jesus was saying don't worry about tomorrows issues. I see to many people worrying about future issues, predicting what may or may not happen, yet don't deal with todays issues head on. Deal with todays issues, or troubles in Jesus words, tomorrow will bring its own. All we have is today, we may not even be here tomorrow so quit worrying about it.
Though I plan for tomorrow I don't worry about it. Personally I live in the day, that's all Jesus is saying to do.

I now have a law degree!
by digderidoo inhi guys, i don't really post on here much anymore, having been on here since 2001. this site helped me out in the early days and has been a great support system for all of my past jw issues.
like many others i was discouraged from an education so that i could window clean and pioneer in my youth during the 80's.
having spent many years post my jw exit in alcoholism and periods of drugs, i decided to clean myself up 7 years ago by attending aa, i was still a window cleaner ... at the time i wrote extensively on here about my issues.

Thank you very much, appreciate all the comments and from some posters who I remember when I posted here regularly. This site is great for the support, i recall spending alot of time here when I first got sober trying to come to terms with my JW issues. If it wasn't for the support received I may never have started the degree, it's great to have the freedom now to do these things and probably appreciate graduating more now than I would have done if I did my degree in my youth. There is a lot to be thankful for, which I started to appreciate later in life.

Thanks Pams girl.
Brinjen, that's fantastic! I have always had an appreciation for art, you must tour some of the art galleries in Europe, I love Barcelona for the art there.
"Do you have further plans to use your new skills ?
There are plenty of injustices to fight in U.K Society if you feel inclined.
One inquitous one is the law that puts many of our young people wrongly in Jail, and thence carrying a Crim. Record, for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time, when someone else commited an offence."
Thanks Phizzy, it's International Criminal Law that I am going onto to study. I have done some work already in the field of human rights, particularly with reference for lobbying countries who have breached international law by oppressing or imprisoning human rights lawyers.
I agree that the law around joint enterprise needs reform, that law has always been part of the common law of England, but in more recent years the police have used it for what has been criticised as a way of improving their conviction rate statistics. There is a need for the law, when a group together commits a crime, but it certainly is need of reform. That aspect of law is not something that I have expertise in, but the law is so vast, there are others areas, particularly around International law and human rights that I would like to further my interests in.
