  so i am sure if you are at bethel and have the flu you just get time or what ever to recover, but what about serious sickness.

  say you get cancer or some possible terminal illness?

  what happens?.

  Anecdotally I heard that Knorr would send you to your room with chicken soup only.

  From what everyone hears, you had better be one of the big guys or know where the bodies are buried

  Just got a story on radio that he nixed a senior food program from getting donations from Jewish outfit because it did not meet HIS nutrition standards.

  People complain about trump wanting to be king. Look carefully.

  I have a sneaking idea the elders who come to support you during surgery are more there to se if you take blood. Last time the surgeon mentioned a fraction but used a different name than the official list of conscience fractions. I never saw anyone hit high alert like that. Damnit, I was the waiting family, and did not want to visit, get lunch, discuss service. All I want is left alone with my thoughts, fears, and memories. I will not go against someone elses directive in spite of personal misgivings

  Why do Americans have to pay so much for College???

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know there is a huge college/university lobby here in the us that lives off of students paying, in some cases, enormous amounts of money just to attend.. putting politics aside, if that is possible, (and i am not a bernie sanders guy by any means), but how can we pay for pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high, high school, and then throw a huge debt to someone who wants to continue learning?

  can't the us (public and state universities) afford four more years for young people to get on a career path without having to, in some cases, take out a mortgage/loan more than the cost of some homes?

  then, (and nothing against immigrants, i am married to one), but then the us has to "import" students from other countries to fill the needs that we should be supplying here.

  The arts may not pay for themselves as such, but they so add to quality of life. You do not want to hear me sing, compose, or paint. Hey! An epiphany, that is where WT gets theirs.

  Things like Warren getting high fees is actually a form of money laundering

  Relating to a different post; can we study the 607? Zero year (ordinals and cardinals )? How satan's anger started ww1 before he was kicked out ( time warp)?

  I know lots of JWs who kept their baptism vow but broke the marriage vow. Some of that stuff like history is unbelievable. DA is a big step, but the cat is out of the bag now.

  Why can't we have a kingdom hall?

  i was musing on how many small churches there are.

  a single congregation made of moderate income people.

  often the pastor has a job on the side.

  Dio....

  Yes, I lament the little halls we built ourselves and maintained without fooling with LDC bull. And we thought we were on the right path.

  I am one of the locked in by family people. I use every excuse I can to miss but have a pimi wife to consider

  I am not thinking of the big cathedral type either.

  I already know people tend to put their resources into something of benefit. So I can partly answer my own question. Just being grumpy as I must take the little lady to meeting, ours this year is arou d lunch time

  " if you think education is expensive wait til you see the cost of ignorance "

  In part the u iversities are greedy and in part are scamming students

  I support my taxes paying for public school, even with no students in my home. I want that dental tech, or even McD guy to have decent diction, manners, language knowledge, and to know their field.

  There should be a construct more than is offered for college credit in high school, and a better vocational counciling. If you want to be a nurse you need the biology, chemistry, Latin; different than someone on a engineering path.

  My state has at least 2 schools that rank in the same esteem as Hahvahd, Caltech, and the like. The students I have known ranked from genuine geniuses to snot nose twits.

  LGBT, trans, etc. - Be warned!

  “in one tweet mr miller wrote: "i was assigned mammal at birth, but my orientation is fish.

  " this tweet was among several others which were reported to humberside police as being allegedly transphobic.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-51501202.

  any minority group who bring such cases because they have been "offended" by a comment or a joke about their precious "alternate" lifestyle, should take a few steps back and admit what they are really demanding - a total ban on everyone's freedom of speech, except their's!

  When I was 4 I was a dinosaur. At other times an American Indian

  I wouldn't even call this insensitive.
