just a heads up, this thread will contain some personal ramblings and my plans for the future.
if you're not interested, don't waste your time reading it.. .
as many of you know, i've been in law school for the last 2 1/2 years, and have 1 semester left to complete that degree.
I've been in education...my goal was primary school teaching where it was required here in the UK that we undertook degrees/diplomas covering a range of subjects...I was just starting to enjoy it as I reached baptism, when it became obvious that I couldnt cover subjects and celebrations which were integrated into the syllabus without compromising my beliefs as a JW so I gave it up...I regret that now....I later did a Post grad and did some lecturing of 17year olds...that was pretty daunting in my opinion.
There's a lot of lesson preparation required to be successful and competent as a teacher, as well as unpaid extra hours both at school and marking etc at home....having said that I find great satisfaction in helping a young one to 'understand' and progress. In my view its a vocation as opposed to a career ....

i was talking to my husband and we were trying to work out how many meetings we actually came away from feeling enthused or excited by what we had heard.
not including pre and post meeting association how many wow moments can you recall?.
we had to conclude that most of the time in the organisation the meeting was something you endured.
When I was very spiritual and holding it all together I used to love the meetings ...well, some of them...as the scriptures took a back seat I got more and more frustrated at sitting and listening to rules and regs etc...
One elder couldnt remember names (had trouble with his own wife's ) anyway a new sister arrived whose surname was Burke...she put her hand up for one of his items ...he scratched his head for a moment or two and then said 'Yes...Sister Moron?'...lol...

i have been watching the discovery channel's, 'into the universe with stephen hawking' and it occurred to me that professor hawking knows more about heaven (which is just part of entire universe) than jesus did.
maybe jesus knew about black holes, alien life, other worlds, the origin of the universe, etc.
jesus could have told us something so remarkable about our universe that it would have taken us 2000 years to confirm jesus' divine knowledge and prove he was the son of g-d, but he instead decided to tell us that heaven "has many rooms"- whoop-dee-doo.. i don't think jesus had a clue that there was anything out the in the physical universe beyond what he could see with his own eyes.
I think Jesus raising the dead was pretty spectacular in itself personally....

I was for over 25 years with my ex...it really was toxic ...and only now that I am in a 'normal' marriage do I see how very sick he was...whats worse was that after some time it meant that the relationship itself was very sick and unhealthy ...cyclical...awful...cant believe I wasted so many years hoping things would improve....

my mom (still in the borg) was telling me about going out with the c.o and his wife this week in field service & i started re-living the horror show that would go on during saturday meetings for field service-.
ah... the dreaded splitting up into car groups... i always felt like we were in gym class being grouped together for a game of dodgeball-.
the co and elders were the team captains and we would line up for the count.
So many memories of some stupid ineffectual brother trying to make a daystext about something random fit the ministry....and the CO visits...field service arrangements ... ooh a nightmare ..... its ringing the memory bells...

do you ever feel guilty about the way you pre-judged others when you were a drone?.
i feel guilty about it every day!
people's lives are so complex, we know so little of their personal struggles and "thorns in the flesh" yet we're conditioned to prejudge on a checklist of criteria published by a few men in new york.
I was so super spiritual ...so clever and righteous...how awful of me ..
