i'm having an exam in mineralogy in 20 days and need to learn 120+ pages of content.
i've learned a part of it so far.
i'm just curious how did you/do you study?
Not to be rude, please how about this link?

My learning strategy is repetition. Going over and over again. It has worked. I also like waking up at 3am when my brain is fresh. You need to recall that each one of us have certain optimum time of hours when our brains are at their best. In my case, 3am-6am works best.

| The whole WT$ is just one big criminal organization. With the child abuse, the DFing and shunning of perople, the taking of so much money and then they live high on the hog and all of the false teachings. They are a cult and they just get worse by the day. | |

| Dear Active JW Elders, you will not go to jail for standing up to what is morally right. Alot is at stake. |

yes, i threw my wt library out: my recycle bin was full.
even if i had imagined this experience to be similar to a prisoner getting rid of his chains, this was not so.. instead, it brought up all the memories i had shared with my family where we were excited about the release of the revelation book; the clear feeling of ultimate knowledge when we showed the live forever book, the questions i had practiced with my family in the organized book, my cousins who got baptized as well.
somehow, all i could think of was only the good memories i had shared with my family and almost cried about it.. and then, i started to think of the division, the hatred and the pain that became prevalent in my family as some were disfellowshipped and thus, ostracized.
the constant references to 'window washers' as something derogatory.. i understand the context of it-that most jws are uneducated, and unqualified to do much more.
but sometimes the references seem snobbish, almost mean-spirited.
one poster, on another thread, essentially referred to window washers as 'losers'.
| "...if there exists a group of people who take advantage of such easily taught employment and promotes that over going to college and gaining an education, THEN window washing isn't just 'a job' anymore – it's an excuse and the default in life..." | |

I echo this perspective.

i haven't been on here long but i found this site a couple days ago and quickly realised it had a lot of posts by people going through similar experiences as me.
i read some of the answers and it helped relieve some inner anguish i've been carrying since everything i came clean to my parents about everything i've been reading about.. .
i just have been going through a rough patch right now; that might be an under or overstatement depending on your own personal experiences with this kind of stuff.

It seems as if your parents behave and act as if they are high on "drugs". Religion is the opium of the people. JWs are drunk on it to the point of destroying their families. Sad but true.

when you think of mcdonalds (mcd), you typically think of the worlds biggest hamburger distributor, but they are also the worlds biggest toy distributor with their happy meals.
mcd also has one of the world's best real estate portfolios.
mcd owns much of the best commercial property all over the world.. mcd earns revenue as an investor in properties, a franchiser of restaurants, and an operator of restaurants.

never was a jw, but been here long enough to have made some friends and respect opinions.. retired in 2004, lived in cyprus 2005-2010. back here in wales since then.. just back from a holiday in france (most recent of many).
love the country, the lifestyle, can get by in the language.. just seen an advert for a country estate (british-owned) they want someone to live on site, do a bit of handyman stuff, etc., look after (mainly brit) holiday visitors in return for zero rent (only utitlties).
family would be abe to come and stay for free.
Hi Joe Grundy,
Not bad an idea. Try it and see if you like it. Perhaps, you can compare the two places, wales and that french area. What are the pluses and minuses?

researchers from harvard and stanford universities published three studies today showing that substances in the blood of young mice rejuvenate the muscles and brains of older ones.
a previous harvard study suggests the same happens to their hearts.

I think, this new scientific discovery may compounds the Watchtower's anti-blood policy. Please,what do you think?
