US news article about low JW education causing problems in life - interesting
by Gorbatchov ingood article, a must read, from my perception.. i did a bachelor and master since 2001, having the same opinion, for a better present and future and for my and family sake: being an educated person, gaining respect and being proud of what i could realize in life.
a win - win situation.. http://www.npr.org/tags/510831679/jehovahs-witnesses.
for present jw and non present jw's, take your change and take the path to higher education.. g.. g..

The lack of manners is appalling.
Could you imagine in any other church having something think that, "Do you have enough money to live on?" is appropriate casual conversation?

nypd undercover cop resigns as he struggles with grief from killing innocent man.
an undercover cop who fatally shot a bystander during a gun-buy operation has resigned from the nypd — too distraught to remain on the force, the daily news has learned.. the former detective, who sources say suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder, left the nypd in october with a tax-free disability pension.

All disability payments/pensions are tax free.
It's not like "tax free" distinguished it from a taxed disability pension.
Disability is and always has been tax free.
That's like saying I went to buy tax free groceries. Well, duh.
Why journalists add shit like that, I have no idea.

Serpent in the Garden of Eden is not Satan
by anointed1 inmany interpret serpent in the garden of eden as the satan hence miss the whole point because satan himself does not exist.
he is a fictional character [for example, in the temptation account, satan is shown as reflecting the erroneous belief of ancient time that shape of earth is flat, thus taking jesus to the top of “a very high mountain” and showed him “all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.” (mathew 4:8, 9) the fact that jesus did not correct the mistaken view of satan shows the account of temptation is allegorical.
further, jesus knew that satan was only a personification of evil (mathew 16:23; john 6:70) and categorically declared that “all evil thoughts proceed from one’s heart,” not from satan.

The document is not really clear about the way the word "contaminated" was used.
Was it in the sense of biological pathogen contamination, or religious contamination because of the loss of continuous blood flow?

A religion or OCPD?
by Xanthippe ini came across this paragraph about the causes of ocpd and it occurred to me that jws as a religion do reward ocpd traits.
they insist you adhere to rules and behaviours to the impairment of social and family activities.
perfectionism, strict moral code, lack of generosity.. so does this religion cause this personality disorder or does it recruit people who suffer from it?.

I had two nice older ladies come by a few years ago and I didn't have the heart to get into anything with them. I just took the brochures, said thanks and ended the call.
Also, we're having golabkis for dinner this afternoon. Occasionally my Polish in-laws make a huge batch for the entire extended family. Polish food is great! (Not a big fan of the polka music, though!)

Ah, Zoos, we posted at the same time. Even leaving at 19, I still feel the effects. It took me forever to get a Bachelor's degree, and I am still paying out the ass for it at age 45 and will continue doing so for the forseeable future. My goal is to get my student loans paid off before retirement.

Because something felt wrong. And public libraries. And university libraries. Card catalogs and everything.
