as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.
i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.
it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

Thank you for your full disclosure. We need more of that here.
One of my dual majors was mathematics as we have a reasonable comprehension of the concepts based upon your comments and education. Your teaching must be very rewarding yet extremely challenging at the primary and secondary levels.
Be good.

she certainly is passionate about climate change.
🤔.
As the expression goes, "Beauty is only skin deep".
We talk about molestation on here quite a bit, but I bet she never got molested by anybody.
(Was I being too tough on her?)

hello forum.
my aunt, flyinghighnow, has passed away.
i don't know if you remember her, but she was a long time member.
Our condolences.
I do remember her well. A very nice woman. She will be missed.
If I may quote Simon, "But the presence they shared lives on and can continue to help others."
Amen.

All of the richest people I know and have known never went to college. Millionaires by working hard and investing wisely.

Obviously, you have never gone (never went?) to college based upon your comments and sentence structure.
But I do agree, that in your hood, there can be a lot of pimps who are millionaires. Them thick gold chains ain't free.

If you are smart academically, then higher education is an absolute plus, or in some cases, a necessity. If you want to be a doctor, pharmacist, CPA, lawyer, CEO, or other position, trying to do it without higher education will be difficult if not impossible.
If you have some specific skill or trade such as a plumber, electrician, carpenter, or other trade, you can have your own business, no higher education, and still make a ton of money.
But if you want to be a doctor or pharmacist, try to do it without higher education in the US. Maybe you could bluff your way through in a third world country.

i am so sick of this cult, this religion has such a grip on her.
since i left in 2014, things just are getting progressively worse.
and she it's just getting deeper and deeper.
I have been down the divorce road before.
As many here have mentioned, communication is the key. Let her talk. Then let her talk some more. And then more.
Even if you have strong disagreements on religion, you have been together and know each other.
There are so many negatives or downs when breaking up. Again, I am speaking from experience.
I don't know your feelings about using a biblical verse, but you could quote the Matthew 19:6 verse that says what God has put together, let no man tear apart.
Maybe that is not applicable in your case but keep it in your pocket if she goes too far down the religious route.
I wish you the very best, but please communicate.

ewart chitty was appointed as secretary-treasurer , which position he held until his appointment to the governing body in november 1974.. when in brooklyn, chitty seems to have preferred younger men as roommates.
the actual charge brought to the gb against chitty was made by a former roommate and involved some sort of inappropriate conduct.
the gb concluded that chitty had homosexual tendencies, and asked him to resign.. a rare photo of chitty in happier days.
I was there! We probably bumped shoulders, or passed each other on the way in/out of the loo, or something.

Yes, the only thing I can barely recall at Pittsburgh is Franz talking. He was always the one you hated to give the final part at the end of the day at any assembly.
I clearly remember "back in the day" at Yankee Stadium when the sessions ended at 9PM in the evening that he would easily go on for an extra half hour or more. Once I remember, nearly 10PM. He would just talk and talk and talk. As a little kid at the time, it felt like torture.
Anyway, I will find the old centennial brochure in one of the boxes of old stuff and put it here for all to see.
