Thanks.
i finally got that shepherding call.
1.5 years after not attending meetings, lol.. i'm sorry guys, but i was just disgustingly forthright.
i basically said that 1.5 years ago, i researched and came to the conclusion that the societies blood ban was wrong.
Honesty is liberating.
They may disfellowship you. It is their club, their rules. Nothing you can do, really.
As far as your family goes, don't you want your relationship with them based on honesty also?
Best wishes to you.

i am thinking about starting to take some courses, working toward my degree.
i would appreciate some feedback.. on the one hand, i have made a successful career for myself as a highly paid computer professional, working for a variety of prominent companies here in the usa over the last 12 years.
this, in spite of not going to college for reasons that you all understand.. to date, the only companies that cared that i did not have a degree, once i had a few years experience, were companies that worked with universities and higher education products.
rhett,
You just have to get into a major market, which means living near a major city. Or, be content to make a lot less money and be more rural, something I spent a bit of time on the Gulf Coast of Florida doing.
I bought an SAT prep book this weekend, and shared my plans with my wife. She is very supportive and eager to be my study partner in whatever I do.
Thanks to all for the feedback. I will keep you posted!

Email me your phone numbers, I can't get to them from behind our Nazi firewall.

I just spent my lunch break at the ASU book store.
Holy cow! I thought Barnes and Noble was my temple, but this place...
Hundreds of new and used college books, every one of them fascinating! My biggest problem is that I want to learn it all!
I just emailed the admissions office of ASU. I have to take my SAT's, I am sure, but I think that I can have things worked out to start doing some course work this summer.
Thanks to all for your inspiration.

Kay,
I don't know many people from here. I DA'ed while living in Florida for 4 years prior to moving here.
AZ, like Florida, is a revolving door. I hated it the first 6 months, and now I have no desire to leave. The canyons, the desert, the moutains, it is all wonderful.
Where did you move to?

rhett - Thanks for reminding me not to take for granted what I have. I tend to do that. Having a good paying, rewarding job, plus the benefit of tuition reimbursement is great. I should take advantage of it. I recongnize those lyrics in your sig, what song is that?
Valis - Send me a personal email. I would love to chat. [email protected]. I don't intend to focus on a CompSci degree. Too much of it would be stuff I already know. And I do plan to CLEP myself out of as much as possible. Art appreciation would be great. I love art, writing, literature, math and philosophy, science and anthropology, sociology and psychology. I have no desire to pigeon-hole myself into a technology or business-oriented track. Boring! U. of Phoenix is a possiblity, but their online features suck, they are way overpriced, and I want to experience a 'real' school, if possible. I may use it for some stuff, though. Thanks.
Nathan Natas - I am actually doing this for me. Employers generally don't care what my degree is in, and I am not doing it for the sole purpose of forwarding my career. Thanks for the feedback.
Dogpatch - When are you going to answer my email from yesterday?!
AlanF - Are you Alan Fuerstein? (sp.) I know the HR shuffle, but, again, my main purpose is not employability or level of income, it is really personal achievment.
JT - Funny experience! That is great that you and your wife are doing it together!
Thanks to all!
