  that's the word according to my mil.

  mrs hoser is starting a new career and the college and work training will take her four years to complete.

  her mom is giving her a hard time telling her that the system will be over before she graduates.

  to give a little background, my parents are in their late 50s.

  around a year ago, my elder dad got laid off from his job.

  he worked as a auto mechanic making ok money.

  They absolutely have Plan B: You. Jehovah will move your heart to financially support them in their efforts to serve the one true God through their full-time pioneering efforts.

  My Marking Talk

  back to august of 1988. my brother and i were the ones being marked.

  at the time, my father had clued us in that it was coming and had gotten a recording of it.

  are we not also obliged to act on wrongs being committed by a family member or members?

  Do it! Seriously. And pack something extra so that you have absolutely ridiculous bulge. The thought of someone doing this just tickles me. I don't know why. I can imagine the looks on so many people's faces. My inner 12 year old gay boy is giggling right now.

  Using the "C-Word" With My Wife

  by breakfast of champions in

  months ago, i commented on another thread about a strategy i was using to introduce my wife to the way cults work--without using the word "cult" and scaring her away.

  here's my first comment on that thread:.

  i pulled hassan's bite model off the internet and imported it into my word processor.

  Every time I think about what Billy has accomplished, it just warms my heart so much. And to take on an engineering degree at an excellent, large public university...What an accomplishment. I LOVE when former JWs earn degrees in challenging fields from top universities! If there are any JWs lurking on this board, please read through Billy's experiences. If this is your dream, do it!

  Billy - I am so thrilled for you. The degree. The job. The hickeys right before graduation. (BTW, did the concealer work? Tell us the story!)

  Anyway...You did it. I can't believe how time flies. Another reason why anyone who thinks they might want to pursue their education should explore that possibility very, very seriously.

  However old you are, you could wind up four years older with or without that degree you have always wanted. Its never too late. There's no such thing as too old.

  The only other thing I would suggest to whomever is thinking about further or higher education is this: Go to the very best college/university you possibly can given your own personal situation. Stay away from for-profit institutions. Go for the real deal.

  And as for you, Billy -- I know you went to a great school. Well done, you!!!!
