Need advice on going back to college
by mamalove ini need some kind of advisor, are there professionals who can steer one the right way on these kinds of things?
or do i need to do the legwork and call a bunch of schools to see what is best?
i have no problem doing it and have already got started, but i am very confused on the best path to take here.. my background is that i went to a business school in the later 90's.

If there is one thing worth campaigning for within the JW religion...
by Mickey mouse in...i think it's discouraging the practice of baptising minors.
jws love to say "we don't have infant baptism" but given the fact that many witness children are baptised in their early teens or before, they may as well be infants.
since this action opens them to possible alienation from their family (due to judicial action), i think this is the achilles heal for the wbts.. .

Reddit thread: I just turned 21, and Im close to committing suicide
by thecrushed ini saw this thread this morning and i can't get it out of my head.
it reminds me so much of my own feelings of hopelessness at that age.
i did the stupid thing and turned to doing copious amounts of drugs and never dealt with the problem only to be sucked back into the cult later at my lowest point of drug addiction.

Superman, the Klu Klux Klan, Copyright and the Watchtower Society

meanwhile, the superman radio program needed a villain to replace the nazis.. according to mental floss magazine, kennedy managed to work all of the ku klux klan's most secret recruiting and organizational practices into his 1940s radio serial, "clan of the fiery cross.

Are we being overtreated with Radiation?
by Snoozy injust read an article about the dangers of being over x rayed.. can't help wonder why it has been known all this time and is just now being warned against publically.. i also wonder if the new insurance laws going into effect have anything to do with it.. the government won't be oking costly xray's because it may harm you?
and save themselves a buck in the process?.
i noticed that when i go to the dentist they always cover your chest with a heavy vest to protect it from radiation..when you have x rays for other problems they don't always do it.
