  I still don't understand why they want to abandon their historic residence in Brooklyn Heights. That was part of the culture of the organization. Moving from the Heights to the set of Soviet styled buildings seems to be beyond strange.

  The key if to figure out some non-answers that stop the conversation. It is no one's business. You need to be quick to change the conversation. I suggest practicing. Keep in mind that most people really don't care. They would much rather talk about the weather, or some silly point from the meeting.

  Yes, I totally ignored the anti higher education rhetoric from the Wt. In fact, I was working on my doctorate even as an elder. My strategy was that I never told anyone. If they found out I was going to school, I just stated that I was required by my employer to take some classes. If they knew I was going for a degree no one asked.

  I now am teaching full time as an accounting professor. Education can be a "game changer" in a person's life. It was for me.

  Education is not just for the young. I was in my late 40s when I finished my degree. Education is not just for the young. My oldest student was in his 70s. I have a colleague who is working on his doctorate and he is in his 80s.

  Let me know if you want to link up via LinkedIn.

  A 'Paradise' for mice turned out not to be so

  by Petraglyph in

  in this experiment, mice were given a perfect environment in which to live.

  for the mice you would think this was 'paradise'.

  but due to their nature it did not take long for this to become a horrible place to live.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z760xny4vm.

  Quite a disturbing video. Thanks for sharing (not that I did not have enough to worry about already).

  Watchtower Content Producers Tardy With their Monthly Broadcast. WHY?

  by scotoma in

  2. friends

  how hard is it to produce a monthly program and get it up on time?

  they are late every month.. are these the same people that published 128 pages of magazines by the 1st,8th,15th and 22nd of every month for over 100 years?

  are they understaffed?

  They got the memo that the end of the world is hear - they are hunkered under their desks. No time for a presentation.

  Wow! $49.99 is way outside my price range. Can I get an educator's review copy or at least a discount?

  It would have been nice if this disclaimer was in the "Truth" book, and a few other publications. Especially when they proclaimed that "this generation will by no means pass away..."
