my nephew is a graduate of an alabama university and harvard.. he didn't listen to the warnings about seeking higher education, and has a good job.. the elder sunk himself trying to keep his son, who did not apply himself in school, out of prison.. it's a sad situation, but it shows how foolish the wt's directives can be.. sylvia.
No, of course not, Humbled.
Isn't it something how they can demonize higher education but think nothing of reaping the fruits of someone else's labor.
When I heard of it, I told his mama that he should be sure to point out that he has such a good paying job only because he ignored the WT's discouragement and went on to college.
It just may be the thing to set that elder's mind to thinking.

it's heartwarming to see so many new faces (and some older ones) playing their part in this thriving community.
so many more free minds!

Greetings from deep in the wilds of Alabama, precious one.
Great to hear from you!
How are Megan, Noah, et al?
Blessings.

i've talked with some good friends on the board about this before and we seem to be in agreement : one reason ( among many ) that some disfellowshipped jw's go back and return to the wt organization is because they are full of uneeded guilt or uneeded fear because they haven't educated themselves about how the wt society uses mind control tactics to deceive them into thinking they have " nowhere else to go " .
i understand that some dfed ones may go back to the organization for family and friends- however- it's an exrecise in futility because once you learn the truth about the truth you cannot undo what you heard.
so some may just go back and live a fake jw life to appease family- but just think of how that can damage a person's emotional and mental health playing the fake jw game the rest of their lives !
Hi, Flipper.
My daughter is still in, but I could never return.
I'm not wired to be a hypocrite.

researchers working with a telescope at the south pole beleive they have glimpsed light from the first "trillionth of a trillionth of a tillionth" of a second after the big bang.. a lot of work has still to be done to confirm the findings, but if it holds up it is one of the biggest discoveries ever.. _________________________________________.
...inflation came with a very specific prediction - that it would be associated with waves of gravitational energy, and that these ripples in the fabric of space would leave an indelible mark on the oldest light in the sky - the famous cosmic microwave background.. the bicep2 team says it has now identified that signal.
scientists call it b-mode polarisation.
They're talking about that on the CBS evening news right now.

just had my 1day assembly this weekend.
an experience given by the bethel speaker was quite troubling and shows how jw's live in constant paranoia, anxiety and they isolate themselves from normal living.. a first grade class was having a fire drill.
everyone ( except one) lined up and stood outside away fron the classroom in the grass.
Andre.
LOL.

the pilots and crew of the missing plane, was something wrong with all of them?.
sylvia.
It surely does make you wonder.

In the beginning ... The Big Bang!
There is so much yet to be discovered.
A few hours ago, I was reading about Neil deGrasse Tyson in People Magazine.
