It's funny that what was once lauded as fact and established and proven by the biggest names and authorities in science suddenly becomes myth.
Yup.. the answer is we are whole brained. (well.. that's another debate)
How the idea started:

It makes me wonder how many other myths are being believed as scientifically proven facts.

What Specifically Are the "Sins" Due to Imperfection that We Commit Each Day ?
by RubaDub inas jw's we are constantly reminded that we sin each day due to imperfection.
but when bringing up the specifics, i have never gotten a good answer.. several times i have even mentioned to others of my getting up on a sunday morning, reading the daily text, studying the watchtower for the afternoon meeting, driving to the meeting (under the speed limit), answering at the meeting, (not using more than one towel in the restroom), going out in service later in the afternoon, coming home, having dinner, and then in the evening preparing for a part for the ministry school.. i didn't recall scheming in my heart about doing something bad or anything like that.. so, specifically, where does the "sin" come in?
and if what i did was sinful, how can i improve on it?

Wow.. how do ordinary window cleaning brothers manage to get such work in high end design and animation studios when acquiring the basic qualifications for working in such a field are thoroughly disapproved by the organisation and can cost you all your privileges for years to come?
Here in the UK for example:
Most animators have a degree or an HNC/HND.
Many universities and colleges throughout the UK offer courses in animation and other relevant art and design courses. Skillset, in consultation with the industry and education providers, has endorsed the following courses:
- HND in Art & Design (Computer Animation) and Degree in Animation at the Glamorgan Centre for Art & Design
- Degree in Animation Production at the Arts Institute at Bournemouth
- Degree in Computer Visualisation and Animation at Bournemouth University
- Degree in Animation at the University of Wales, Newport
- Degree in Animation at University College for the Creative Arts at Farnham
- Degree in Computer Animation at the University of Teesside.
Entry requirements vary and candidates are advised to check with individual institutions. However, in general, in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, many people do a foundation course in art and design before starting a degree course. Typical qualifications required are five GCSEs/S grades (A-C/1-3), and sometimes an A level/H grade.
In Scotland, many degree courses last four years, with an introductory year rather than an art foundation year.
For degree courses, applicants usually need a minimum of two A levels/three H grades and five GCSEs/S grades (A-C/1-3), or equivalent qualifications.
For HND courses, typical entry requirements are one A level/two H grades in art and design subjects, or a BTEC national certificate/diploma in a relevant subject, or equivalent.
In the USA:
Education
Animators working in 3D often have a bachelor's degree and multiple certificates in important software tools. At a university, a 3D animator may major in design or computer engineering. Design programs at major schools such as the School of Visual Arts in New York City allow students to learn the overall knowledge of the design field and then specialize in animation, advertising or other areas. When you are starting out or working freelance, certificates acknowledging your mastery of important software such as Adobe Creative Suite, modo, Softimage or AutoCAD are key.
Perhaps you can learn all this from reading the Awake! magazine so you can Animate where the need is greater.

Do You Give Personal Information About Yourself On This Site?

If you mean credit card details and social security numbers then no.
But if you mean saying who you really are than why not? If your leading a double life by being here and also still pretending to be a witness (something I will never really understand) I guess one could rationalise that somehow. But if you want to be real and true to yourself than why not just stand up and be counted?
Many here have already wasted large parts of their lives in a false organisation.. why waste what's left still not being who you really are and going to great lengths to conceal yourself? Plenty here show their real identities and what harm has come to them?
Not being true to yourself is far more damaging than anything anyone else can do to you.
