They defintley encourage their people to quit their jobs if it interferes with meeting attendance, field ministry or the assemblies. God forbid you miss one day of recieving W/T B.S. or distributing their B.S.

Hey, what about journalists?
There are some Journalists in the Organization, but I'm sure they have to watch what they endorse very carefully. In fact I know of one specifically who works for The Sun.
I remember my father was at the cutting edge of the tech boom in the 1980's... he could have been extremely successful, but let go of his job so that he could go door to door. Now he works part-time as a systems analyst, and just lost our childhood home. He says he's happy with being and elder and pioneering, but I can see it in his eyes... he doesn't really feel fulfilled.
It makes me really sad to think of all the things my Dad could have acheived. He uses his genius to further the organization. It would be extremely noble... if they actually represented the true God. Unfortunately, he is really just another slave for this system of things. It's tragic, and ironic.
Nice thread!
One very bad one: PORNO MAGAZINE PHOTOGRAPHER.
Oooer, I can just picture me telling the Elders at my old Hall that that's my current job
I was married to a guy from an island nation, and we lived there. In this particular nation very difficult for non-natives to get a job, even if you are married to a native. There used to be a Navy base there, so I went to work at the McDonalds on post, became a manager, all that. It was awesome because I got to be around Americans.....helped with the homesickness quite a bit.
Even though I was working for a company that was a vendor to the Navy, I was told to quit. Even though finding a different job off-post would have pretty much been impossible. And even though we had two small kids and could hardly pay the bills with my paycheck. I didnt quit and we moved back to the States.
