  i just watched this clip on youtube....i can't begin to say how it made me feel.

  , i'm not sure who i am more annoyed about.

  the bloke doing the commentry, the punk shouting at a serious and should be respectful religious event, or some of the youtube comments that follow.. and i find this so disrespectful.

  That was embarrassing. It certainly does nothing other than to add to the promoted idea that apostates are mentally diseased.

  Perhaps this was the same congregation that made sure that all brothers wore white shirts.

  Just because I no longer believe in the religion call Jehovah's Witnesses does not mean that I am approaching live with a Pollyanna outlook. I know that very bad things could happen. But if they did, these events have nothing to do with the small minded religion known as jw.org.

  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

  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).
