truJW, that is why I stopped drinking ten years ago, the rage and false sense of courage the bottle provides. You will regret this as time passes by, life is too short to get so angry. Your mother is going to grab hold of the Watchtower view of rebel Witnesses being "mentally diseased", "drunk and angry foaming at the mouth". I am sorry family knows how to hurt you the most, it's hard to accept how cruel they can be my friend. What else can you do? Something about the Organization alters their followers minds and turns off their emotional capacity of love, kindness and joy. The Witnesses are left with fear, guilt and numbness of the heart and pride, don't be like them, you are better than this!

Blue Fin Sold for $1.3 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/05/bluefin-tuna-sells-for-incredible-record-tokyo-fish-auction_n_2415722.html
A recent Blue Fin smaller tuna sold for $78k before the boat had docked (Japan Market reviewed the fish "video feed" and loved it!) most of the good tuna is being sold overseas to Asia. America is exporting most of it's fresh seafood and importing Farm Raised "trash fish", Asia is consuming most of it's fresh fish, no worries here!
Blue Fin is running $97 a piece according to th article above, $97 for sushi or fish? I use to catch Blue Fin and Yellow Tail off Baja California, now the schools are tiny and rare. Tuna raised in the Adriatic Sea are sold for top doller without the radiation. We can't eat tuna because of mercury levels and other hard metals and posions absorbed by the fish, now radiation? What next, trace raditation in the lettuce from the Salinas Valley?

BOR, that question is still in the air, investors (angel capital) with a high tolerance for risk, have approached the founders of Coursera hoping to catch the begining. "New Charter U" is based off the idea of providing a usuable education with minimal costs to their students. The Us are not competing with their own "brick and mortar" buildings or online degrees. The price of the educations from big schools are unsustainable ($400-500k for medical school) ($250 some legal schools) the founders of free online classes are gearing for the whole world. Students from all over the world are attending these classes, class sizes are too big for interaction with teachers (100,000 students) or their teacher aids. The question is, how will the certificates you acheive for passing their classes, be used towards a future degree? The system is in it's infancy, every college is thinking about jumping on board. The list of colleges joining the program is growing, at first the idea was given the cold shoulder by some of the Ivy League schools. Now the schools who said "No" are on the list with one or two classes starting the first three months of 2013.
When good people put their heads together for the right reasons, big things are able to happen. Coursera's original goal was altruistic, a free education for anyone with internet access. For profit schools like "U Arizona, Devery's" and other goober schools are not happy with a free based model education.

Menlo Park Legal Advisor Tells All
by Juan Viejo2 insomeone sent me a link to the anoninsurrection youtube page.
i found eleven videos documenting an interview with the legal advisor for the former menlo park kingdom hall elders.

Hola Juan Viejo, what is the legal basis the former elders in Menlo Park are using to reclaim the Kingdom Hall? We know why they created several layers of corporations before the Twentieth Century ended, to protect their assets.
I know how hard they work to keep the money, a congregation would be dissolved before they let the property leave their greedy hands.

BOR: you are correct about the scams dealing with college, most are from the "For Profit Colleges" who lost their Accreditation because their programs were garbage! The colleges I am talking about are pilot programs, take a look at the schools participating with Courera, Edx and Udacity are awesome, and free! Dan Rather's Reports interview with "New Charter University" was impressive, I urge anyone interested in taking a few free classes or paying for a education to watch his program on Axis TV. Review Udacity and Edx if you are a techqi!

Lots of friends and JWs are dealing with depression, some are sad they never went to college and wonder what it's like to get a degree. The Watchtower guilted her members by telling them they were worldy if they wanted a higher education. College in community schools were free when I took AP classes in high school. The U system was $1300 a quarter, community colleges were free with tuition and books were reasonable as well.
http://unow.com/ Dan Rathers Reports "New Charter University", watch the video and I think you will be impressed with all your options to take free classes from Ivy League schools online. NCU according to Dan Rathers was $200 a month for tuition, you could transfer any credits from your Community College towards your AA or B.A. or B.S.

Do JWs Really Still care about the "Truth"?
by XBEHERE ini often read posts on here citing some km school or wt article and the comment that "now they are tightening their grip" or "they will now go after faders" etc, etc.
my perception is that the vast majority of jws, including the elders, are suffering from apathy and fatigue.
most simply don't care anymore.

No, the majority of elders were unable to keep up with all the study material each week brought. If the elders who are under obligation are having issues keeping up with all the spiritual food, the rank and file are suffering too. Proof-texts don't work in this age of instant information, how can you prove the "truth is the Truth" if the journey could lead to disfellowshiping? Double tongued, "keep proving this is the truth" but don't read anything online that might cast a doubt on your truth!

1/15 WT- Guilt, Guilt, and More Guilt ! Black & White Cult Reasoning !
by flipper inthis particular article was discussed or touched on a couple months ago regarding the wt society's statement concerning jw's putting " jehovah above everything else- including the family bond " .
so i won't address those points in this thread, but there are many other points to address where the wt society uses guilt and black & white cult reasoning to control jw's minds with this information from the article titled, " let nothing distance you from jehovah ".
first off in paragraph 5 the wt tries to make people feel guilty looking for work and insists that if you get any job that takes you away from family- it will distance you from jehovah !

Strange how the Watchtower is expert at handing out advice they are unable to live by. When was the last time the Governing Body worried about making a living? Ray Franz said they enjoyed being treated like rock stars and celebrities, many of them were not Bible scholars and voted on issues and matters without using the Bible or various sources, that would damage the lives of the sheep they are suppose to protect. The Governing Body are treated better than the Apostles were, how can they justify their groupies who worship them?
