Disgusting comment re: education from Tacoma 2007 District Convention

by Justitia Themis in

this is from saturday afternoon program.

the speaker first starts with what he called the "alphabet soup" of degrees....a.a., b.a., m.a., ph.d., etc.

; he said they were nothing more than "sheepskins on the wall.

Do you remember this saying...?

regarding worldly associations:.

"the worst jw in the org.

is better than the best person in the world..".

Actually, I remember hearing the counsel that just because someone is a JW doesn't automatically make them a "good association". Of course worldly people were still far worse than even a "weak" JW. But I remember feeling paranoid when I heard this, because we were already stripped of our "worldly" associations; now we were being told to be careful even with JWs. I think they would have liked it if none of us had any real friends at all. (This actually became the case for Little Drummer Boy and I.)

I went through a lot of them. The problem with it is that there are a lot of procedures that they should've listed but they didn't. Very few people under the age of 60 need a surgical face lift, but there were several different selections of face lift, neck lift, brow lift, etc. A lot of those people would do great with minimally invasive things like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, etc. No matter, though. As PEC said, who wants a bunch of know-it-alls on the internet critiqueing their face?

by now you realise that your account has been deactivated.

i'm a bit sad in a way, since i know you are no threat to me.

still, out here in the 'real life', we have rules regarding civil conduct that even jehovah's witnesses must abide by to keep their 'privilages' here.

Wow, AK Jeff. I don't think I've ever "seen" you this angry before. I missed out on the original secret admirer ordeal somehow. I just wanted to pop in and see if you're doing OK. Exwitless

My son, who is quite intelligent and insightfull for his age, gave me a good laugh this evening. We were sitting at a table putting together a puzzle. I said something of little importance and he decided he needed to correct how I said it. I asked him why he always has to be so critical of everything I say lately. His answer was, "Well, if I don't correct things that are wrong and we all stay stupid, then we'll never evolve into aliens!" Of course I had to laugh, and I asked him if he really thinks we will evolve into aliens. He said we would only evolve if we correct stupidness and get smarter as humans in general. He then stated humans are now "Super Monkeys", and the goal is to become "Ultima Monkeys" (aliens). Current real monkeys are just plain monkeys who have not evolved.

So, for those who are interested in becoming Ultima Monkeys, you must eliminate all stupidness. (Looks like I'll be a regular Super Monkey for awhile.)

here's what's going on in our pitiful world right now: little drummer boy's truck needs a major (meaning expensive) repair on it asap; our lawn mower suddenly quit working; our air conditioner also quit working.

currently, it's 8:40 p.m. and it's 82 degrees and humid outside.

all we have is a little window ac which isn't cutting it (being that it is currently 83 degrees inside our house.

Thanks for putting it in lyric form (with musical notations, no less). I couldn't have done it better myself. I can just hear the steel guitar whining in the background . . .

Our septic system needs emptied. We all need to get to the dentist but haven't even made an appointment yet. Two people at my workplace are leaving and I'm working 3 times harder because of it. OK, sorry for the pity party. How are you all doing?
