5 years ago when i attended my last meeting.
ever since i started making decisions, instead of waiting on jehovah, things have been happening faster for me, its weird.. all my life i was told just wait on jehovah, wait on him for a husband, wait on him for children, wait on him for a happy life.. well you know what i stopped waiting and i am happy!!!!.
yes i did get a wonderful husband (who adores my every move) while in the org.
You Go, Girl!!!!!
Yup, it's amazing, isn't it? Congratulations on going back to college at the ripe young age of 40!!! I did, too, and I just finished my second year of grad school--took me 3 years to get my BA and it will be 2 to get my Master's and it's been worth every minute. Don't look back--you are in control and, what's best, you're setting an awesome example for your child!
okay, something that has always been a side point but still a rather ridiculous rule is that brothers cannot "serve" if they have a beard/goatee/anything more than just a moustache.
at least in the states, i've heard of some congregations in some countries allow this, but they are the exception?
your experience?.
As far as moustaches, we would do well to consider the following question: Does anyone really have a nose worth underlining? The answer is clearly "No!"
ROFLMAO!!!!!! Welcome, Laverite!!!!!!
he is 56 and his wife is 47..they are expecting a baby!.
can you imagine..he will be older than me when his kid graduates hs... and she will be in her middle to late 60's... makes me feel young again.... .
I have to wonder if it's Mrs. Travolta's egg they're using. Chances are, it's from a donor. 47-year-old eggs are, um--stale-dated. As Dr. Laura says, they ain't been kept in the fridge. Now, sperm, on the other hand, is made fresh as needed. I'll stop there.
the watchtower will be studied tomorrow that contains the new overlapping generations teaching.
paragraph 10 reads:.
"he evidently meant that the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation.".
Count me in for the cough of incredulity--hell, I'll cough on para 10 & 14!
food was passed from one side and if you were #10 you may not get too much to eat!
when i finally did, she was not at all interested.
but i was lucky it didnt work out, for she never would have left the watchtower.
Randy, you're a gifted writer, engaging, conversational and never boring. I even read the parts about the MAN press. Thank you for taking the time to share your story and please, send installment #2!
just setting the record straight.
there is another thread that notes a claim on wiki that said that ray has died.. he had a stroke yesterday, and is in the hospital.
he is still alive.
He will live as a symbol of courage forever. My heart goes out to his wife

V, you rock!!!!!
i'm admitting to be very pissed off.....and bitter.
i'm sick of having no job security (i know its relative), but mostly because i did not go to college....... has anyone gone back to school post 40?
how was the experience?
I love all these posts from over-40 students! What a great thread!!!

I started back at 41, graduated magna cum laude at 44 and got full funding for graduate school. I'll have my M.A. in English in a year. Hard? Yup. Worth it? Already, in terms of getting my brain back. Whether I teach or not when I'm through, or go on to a Ph.D. program, doesn't matter. I feel like I've reclaimed at least a decade of my life. My ability to analyze and critically examine issues, JW or otherwise, has increased exponentially. And I'm setting the example for my daughter...
