Scruffmcbuff: to sear first or not... any opinions?
Browning is better. The Maillard reaction adds lots of flavor to the food.

28Do you like to experiment when cooking?
by Xanthippe injust lately i've become weary of following recipes in books or online.
recently when on holiday in the lake district i wanted to make pasta with a tomato and cheese sauce but the only interesting cheese they had at the local store was a somerset brie.
i discovered when peeled of its skin and tossed in with tomatoes and pasta it melts beautifully and tasted amazing.

wt on education..
by zeb ini have just watched the glass smashing on the wt video on education.. please consider these experiences from the opposite side of that "coin".. i have heard young ones say out-loud on the mike in the kh that "jehovah is my special friend.."these ones who were at the top of the wt 'tree' pioneering, putting in the hours etc but, it followed that soon saying that pivotal statement they dropped their pioneering, faded, picked up the girl/boyfriend and suffered being dfd.. so where did their wt "education" leave them?
it left them as young adults naive to the world, unskilled, with no qualification to offer any employer and having to replace their former family/associates/friends with new ones.. ( dont get me going on shunning) in some cases with little success as we have read here where they moon about for months or longer unable to emotionally heal after the leaving or df'ing and also others with such a turn around they would never have believed it possible... there was a wt that related how a brother (!
) followed an interest in history and left the truth.

Jw leadership are from the stone age.
To be fair, they are actually worshipping a Bronze Age deity with a belief system that transitioned into the early Iron Age.

I call it jazz cooking. You start with a standard recipe and then improvise on the changes!

The Value of Higher Education
Why you should seriously consider the merits of a college education:
A 2013 study based on Labor Department statistics showed that Americans holding a four-year college degree made 98% more per hour on average than those without a degree. - (CNN Money)
More recently, according to 2015 data compiled by the Economic Policy Institute, "college graduates, on average, earned 56% more" than those who only have a high-school diploma (USA Today).While we are at it, let's take some time to think about finding a career or vocation that is more than just work, but is actually meaningful and rewarding in more ways than just monetary:- 7 lessons about finding the work you were meant to do - Kate Torgovnick May discusses Dave Isay’s new book, Callings: The Purpose and Passion of Work

Armageddon is coming ... SOON!
What ever it is, it won’t undo all the damage this cult has done to countless millions of people — adversely harming their lives and destroying so many families.

by pale.emperor inso this morning i'm walking to my office and there's the jws on their carts outside as usual.

One of the most surprising things I learned after leaving the JW religion is that many cults refer to their particular belief system as “The Truth.”
It’s a cult thing.

Intellectual Diversity > Cultural, Ethnic & Linguistic Diversity
by LoveUniHateExams inyeah, this thread's title is self-explanatory and self-evident: intellectual diversity is greater than all other types of diversity combined.. when i was a uni student i noticed posters that were put up all over my uni.
they said embrace diversity, with the context clearly being cultural and racial.. obviously there's nothing wrong with people coming from different backgrounds and i said this to my colleagues.. but what's better than all that is intellectual diversity.
i said to my colleagues that, as uni students, we should discuss and evaluate diversity rather than blindly embrace it.. i wish i'd have added that intellectual diversity trumps all other kinds..

Diversity of all types -- intellectual, cultural and viewpoint -- is an important part of any collaborative endeavor.
The opposite is to work in an echo chamber. In that event, you might as well be alone. It would be more efficient if nothing else.
I'm a big fan of both Steven Pinker and Jonathan Haidt's work in this area. Thanks Cofty for mentioning them.

The program has been confirmed and I will be presenting at this upcoming workshop for former cult members.
Thanks again to all of you that responded. You really helped me to focus on the most important topics.
Although the presentation isn't until October, I'm planning on spending some time this weekend to review everyone's comments and start solidifying my presentation.
I will definitely follow-up afterwards and let you all know how it goes.
If any of you want more specific details, please send me a PM.
Thanks again,
jp
