  If there really are such things as angels, then that's what dogs are. Take care. Mrs. Flip

  It is an extremely important and stressful event. I cried like a baby for 2 days (and mourned for weeks) when my guinea pig, Pepper, died. And every once in a while I get really sad that my dogs will die, too. Pets are our family and they bring more to our lives than we ever imagine they would.

  So sorry for your loss.

  Higher Education... Some ideas for those that think it is too late

  by adjusted knowledge in

  2. friends

  so many witnesses lost the opportunity to pursue higher education in their youths.

  perhaps it took decades for many here to leave and now feel it is too late.

  degree you will also earn multiple certifications from other agencies:.

  Very helpful topic.

  Research, research, research. And have an end game in mind.

  It really is never too late to start.

  And many who earned degree decades ago, come back for another round of training and education.

  It's something you do for yourself.

  Reject "worldly" fantasies, pursue Kingdom "realities"!!!

  have you had the pleasure of hearing this doozy??

  i believe it was presented at the circuit level first, it has filtered it's way down.. the poor eldub opens with this definition of the word fantasize:.

  "to conceive fanciful or extravagant notions, ideas, suppositions, ect.

  Does Bethel have any woman Medical Doctors?

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the watchtower does not usually place women in positions of authority.. so, does anyone know if there have been any female medical doctors (any type, md, do or chiro) that worked at bethel recently?.

  the only one that i know of was dr mae j work, but she was at bethel over 70 years ago!.

  it's been 12 years since i first read ray franz's books and the scales came off my eyes.

  by that time i was in my forties.. since 2002 i went back to school and have worked with 3 very professional organizations.

  It's part of the cards we were dealt.

  Major bummer, for sure.

  It really is a sad realization that we wasted someof the best years of our lives in the cult. The thing is, no matter what we would have accomplished, we would still be here now. Perhaps just beginning something or even starting over in some way. That's what I remind myself of when I get discouraged because of the wastefulness.

  That thought doesn't undo the damage, but it does put it in perspective for me. Hope it helps you a little.
