  does anyone have knowledge about the paralegal field?

  i am considering it as a new career, if things continue to get more miserable at my job.

  specifically, what salary range could i look for?

  This person is trying to bait you and is playing semantics. Dont even bother to reply or refute. Yes it may be true that it is not "law" that a JW marry another JW and that the meeting attendance is not mandatory as far as being written somewhere, but just remember you are dealing with a CULT here and the culture of the Witnesses is to conform conform conform. Non-conformists are singled out.

  this news story came out today and i was surprised that we haven't had a lively discussion about it.

  it brought to mind some of the ideas we discussed on the "is circumcision child abuse?

  " thread.. ashley is now 9 years old.

  One person asked about the motivation for the surgeries to prevent sexual maturation, including the breasts. This is to prevent her from becoming a victim of sexual abuse by unscrupulous caregivers, etc. Unfortunately, this kind of thing happens all too often to vulnerable adults, females especially.

  I have to agree with this point of view. I knew of a few female developmentally disabled persons who were raped/abused by members of their own families even and ended up pregnant or with a disease. How devastating it would be for both the parents and this girl if that happened to her, on top of everything else they have to go through. There are unfortunately so many bad people out there you can never ever be too careful. There are folks who prey on these types of persons. How sad.

  the WT is already dangerous! just look at what they believe: no blood transfusions, even if it means letting an innocent baby die, the prevalence of pedophiles, depression and suicides.....the best thing that could happen is to see it fall, and let the world witness that.

  Perhaps one achievement of the quest for meaning is growing a taste for nonsense?

  Now there you go. It is *not* futile. It's what you make of it and nothing more. The way I see it, many of us are still sooooo conditioned to the WTS way of thinking, ie: we have to be practical and not employ time and energy into things that are not productive, etc.......who gives a rat's ass?? These days, I spend my time visiting celebrity websites.....why?......because I CAN and that is what makes me happy RIGHT NOW..it's not like I'll become obsessed nor will I throw my life away......I still have a job and I still carry out most of my responsibilities as any normal adult would....but it's what makes me happy today.......who cares? When it's all said and done, the time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted time at all.....
