ARE YOU UPSET THAT YOU DIDN"T GO TO COLLEGE?
by minimus ini have read of some people's bitterness because they were denied the opportunity to go to college.
during the 60's and 70's the society really discouraged any education other than what was necessary.
since the end was so near, especially around 1975, anybody that decided to go to "higher education" was considered very weak and unbalanced.

In the UK, 16 year olds may choose not to continue their education, and of course, it was considered ideal to leave education at this age. I did A'levels until I was 18, then found full time work.
That is the problem in the UK, they get all this "don't go into higher education" and miss the point that in the USA most are in school until 18 so going on to do your 'A' levels after 16 shouldnt be a problem because then you'd be leaving the same time as those in the USA.
Used to really annoy me, being told not to carry on to 6th form and do 'A' levels because that was higher education.
i doubt I'd have done much work at university - i never used to study much in school and didn't revise for any of my gcse's except for my french written to memorise the verbs the morning before the exam.
instead i worked full time at 16 and went to college (paid by employer), I got my degree equivalent at 25.

Two JWs showed up at the door
by sass_my_frass in... well, at the driveway actually, i was getting into the car.
i recall that when i was out on the preach and people weren't where they were supposed to be (opening the door, surprised to see me, where i can catch them off guard) i didn't start by having complete control of the conversation.
these guys came around the corner and saw me and i had a few seconds to calm myself and try to remember what i'd intended to say to the next jw who calls by, and i nearly got all of it.

I may try that rather than my usual "I'm not interested" next time. I always used to switch off when someone would rant that JW's broke up families but that was a really good way of putting it over, and avoiding jargon that would alert them that you were more deeply associated was very good too, cos again it would make them listen more rather than switch off.

Are we in love with our own pain?
by nvrgnbk ini've been doing alot of introspection lately, and i've been wondering this about myself.. what has been your experience?.
do we carry our pain around for so long that it becomes a companion, a part of our self-identity?.
though we know it will benefit us to let it go, do we hold on to it, not wanting to lose an old friend, an integral part of ourselves?.

like mum i think i am predisposed to melancoly (sp!) and depression - we have addicts, drunks, manic depressives and suicides mostly on my fathers side but some on my moms too. i do try to get out of fugues but sometimes i do wallow in them, enjoying the suffering so to speak. i think jwd is making me realise i need to grow up. i may be 31 but im not grown up emotionally.
