Good for you medstudent! You are probably way better off leaving, and it sounds like you know where you are headed.

How serious did you take stuff like this?
by kj inthis is a quote from kingdom ministry, 6/89.
wholesome association.
5 one cannot walk with god while running in association with those of the wicked and sick society that approves of everything that god abhors.

Thanks for the kind words Rayzorblade and country woman. I find it incredible that a good friend could forgive a person for 10 yrs of shunning in a heartbeat, but....if I wanted to come back to the borganization, It would take them probably over a year before re-enstatement/forgiveness would occur.
Screw them, I'll stick with reality!

Women in Workforce/Glass ceilings/my mentor
by Stacy Smith inmy finace recently started work at a wage which will take me years to reach even though our qualifications will be about the same.
many women have claimed that the glass ceiling exists and that women are paid less for the same jobs that men do.. what reasons explain this in your mind?
is it because women might have children?

Everyone in my union makes the same wage after they reach top-scale. Women, Men, Black, White, etc. Issues other than wage are usually settled on a seniority basis. It's not perfect, but there are no issues with wage discrimination.

That's so cool...what a great feeling to connect with old friends despite the lame-ass chains of shunning.
I'm happy for all of you!

Music You Grew Up With
by Nosferatu inwhenever people look at my cd collection, they'll come across blue oyster cult, black sabbath, iron maiden, led zeppelin, etc.
but then they'll come across something unusual.. right now i'm listening to "kenny rogers - ten years of gold".
my parents had this album, and i loved it.

I was at a party on Christmas eve, and I met a girl who just happened to be visiting from Chicago. The subject of religion and common global religious myths came up. We talked for a long time about some books we had both read by Joseph Campbell about the power of myth. (Fascinating books btw..) Later I told her I was raised a jehovah's witness. She said she used to date a guy who was raised as a jehovah's witness.
Long story short...she had dated my best friend from 12 years ago! We were both witness kids when he dissassociated and I hadn't heard from him since. She said she would email him with my info. She had a hard time believing that we were talking about the same guy, but she has no idea how small the dubby world is.
As of today we have emailed several times, and we are totally catching up! I'm so excited I can hardly type.
I never forgot my pal, and I shunned him like a good little witness kid when he left the church. It seems like life gives you few opportunities to apologize for things like that, but today he forgave me in his email.
I'm on top of the world! Three cheers for serendipity!!
Anyone else have a reuniting experience with an old friend that was a witness??
