there are times - or will come times - in our lives when things happen that are so horrible they are beyond belief.. after going through such trials, we are never the same again.. our whole outlook, how we view or respond to certain situations, how we interact with others, is impacted.. these things can make us or break us.. somehow, though, the majority of us make it.. my thanks and kudos to those who help us make it!

i encountered in my time as a jw, an alarming number of jw brothers who just couldn't remember people names.. alot of the these brothers were the watchtower conductors for their congs too!.

is this a jw affliction?.

I'm horrible with names. Why should I remember your name? "Hey you!" and "Over here pipsqueak!" work as well or better than given names do.

I don't need lessons. I already sing pretty damned good.

Seriously though, JD. Finish your degree, dude. Then you can decide. A semester is nothing. I know, I know, it seems like forever. My last year in college felt that way. But finish what you start, you'll feel proud you did.

Actually, a semester does seem like nothing. That's not the issue. I'm not going to invest 4 months and $12,000 into something I am not going to pursue.

I've been through enough graduations. They don't hold the same significance for me that they do for many people. Not to be condescending, but many people telling me to finish are people who have never even applied to begin law school.

My only goal in life is to be the master of the direction my life takes. Switching career paths is not something I'm willing to leave up to the force of popular opinion, nor is "being a cog in a machine" something I'm willing to become. Being true to my goals and ambitions is where I derive pride.

If you teach at the Community College level, at least folks are paying for the classes and they 'might' be more inclined to actually take an interest in them.

Perhaps. However, a master's is required to teach college level courses, and that's another year of classes. I'm not currently prepared to enter a master's program. Perhaps I will be at some point in the future.
