Chilling but true. I'm in my third year of univ, graduating magna cum laude next month, never been asked to a kegger or orgy even once, dammit . Conversations b/w classes seems to revolve around--okay, brace yourselves--COURSE WORK AND SUMMER JOBS!! AAGH!! Pass me the earplugs!!!!

AGAIN with the college bashing
by Pistoff inok so the mate took good notes at the ca and here is the newest on "higher education:.
the usual bashing of motives: those who want great wealth, prestige and seek it in a college educationcollege graduates don't always get jobs in their fieldsdrugs, drinking and sex are "rampant" at collegesthose who want to "snatch us away" are near if we go to college (isa 54)if we seek a college education, we are not spiritual mindedthe most disturbing for me was this:.
those who choose college will not get blessings from jehovahand of course there was the obligatory interview with the college graduate who disdains the education whe received.. .

Words cannot express what this board has done for me...it's saved me from thinking that I'm going out of my mind or that I'm the only one in the universe who sees the intellectual dishonesty of this org for what it is. Simon, and everybody else who contributes such amazing and provocative and scholarly information, THANK YOU!

So, it happened. Packed my things and left
by aligot ripounsous insome may remember, i wrote on an other thread that elders forbade me to give comments at the wt meeting, as i weaken the brothers' faith.
i wasn't satisfied with this outcome and, 10 days ago i sat with my wife on the front part of the kh (like in many khs, attendants pack on the back seats), in the middle of the row, right in front of the wt elder, and raised my hand insistently.
i was of course openly ignored but i didn't care, all that i wanted was verybody to see how they deal with independent members.

Please let us know what happens next. It seems like you are handling things very openly and confidently without being antagonistic.

2009 Drama Synopsis and Comments
by jabberwock inthis year's drama was based on the parable of the prodigal son.
the theme was "your brother was dead and came to life".
as some have probably heard, it is a modern day story based on that parable, so there are no fancy costumes or fake beards.. .

How old were the 2 sons? In particular, the one who moved out on his own? Interesting that these presumably grown men are encouraged to live at home, rather than the normal, healthy thing, which is to move out on your own. Was the sobbing mother properly dressed in an apron?

Definitely true about CO and lunch in my cong. None of the R&F volunteers so elders are rounded up to take him and wife out AGAIN...when I was a kid, you were on a waiting list to have the CO over, usually got your chance once a year b/c everyone wanted to honor of making him a special meal at home. I don't think they get invited to home meals very much anymore.

Elder says that there're apostates who are organized in Spain
by cattails inan elder said that there are apostates organized in spain to make the sale of the spanish branch money go to the congregations that provided the funds.
he has photos of the place from an email and had heard this from a circuit overseer who just visited there.
has anyone heard confirmation of this?.

Welcome, allelsefails. It's tough--we've all been there in one way or another. It's especially hard when your mate still goes. But you've come to the right place, like others have said. Reading other experiences helps a lot, because you realize that you're not crazy--you're just wide awake. Hang in there.
