Waiting to live is such a waste of time. I quit doing that years ago. We are on earth for a limited time wasting any minute is a minute that will never return.

In the 10 years or so that I have been teaching my oldest student was in his 70s. I have a colleague who is in his 80s and is working on completing his doctoral study. The good thing is he will not have to worry about paying off his student loan.
I am a firm believer in education as a life time pursuit. So, I have no sympathy for someone telling me they are too old to go back to school.

by Listener inhttps://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/wa/a/25697590/three-injured-as-car-hits-park-bench/.
an elderly driver crashed into a park bench in mandurah, western australia today where 3 jws were sitting.
they had set up their jw cart and their literature was also strewn across the ground.. one of the jws was seriously injured with head injuries.. what a freak accident this is.. .

This is terribly sad, and yet at some level a little funny.

Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!
by EndofMysteries in.
after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.
i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

It is fine being young and doing what it takes to earn a little money, but if that is your life's expectation - what a waste of the human experience.

Why are mustaches acceptable but not beards? What is the fixation on facial hair all about? Perhaps it can be traced to how they were potty trained... just a guess.

A Jehovers Witness until the day i die.!!
by new hope and happiness ini have met many who i call " jehovers witnesses untill the day they die".
and i think one of the main reasons is jehovers witnesses do not wan't to change their living conditions.. i have reasoned that my motivation to awaken was i wanted to change my living conditions.. this motivation made me an enemy to watchtower indoctrination, which i now saw was blocking my energies for achiving my personal goals.
the " watchtower club" had now become my enemy.. i was now able to question the reationalism of watchtower doctrines, and i saw free discussion was not toletated.

If that is their choice it is not my place to attempt to change their minds. They will ultimately come to the realization that they will die a JW and all the promises are for not. But that is not my problem.

Here is a great reasonable OpEd piece from the NYTimes describing why you cannot teach creationism with evolution.

I do not want my 7 year old daughter taught goof-ball creationism concepts. I don't understand the connection to Satan. I don't think Satan believes in creationism.

rmt1: How long did the doctorate take? Can you trace an influence between non-academic life experience and getting tenure so quickly?
Good questions, pm me and I will send you my LinkedIn Profile. It took me 10 years to complete my doctorate. During the first few years of my studies I was an elder in good standing – very few people in the congregation knew I was going to school.
I took a non-traditional approach and worked full time. Most of the expenses were paid by my employer. My doctorate is in accounting and I have my CPA license. Accounting is a field where there is not much competition for those with a terminal degree, a CPA license, and an active research profile. I am a few years from tenure, but the tenure track seems fairly straightforward at my school.
