It's crap. I won't come out and actually name it, but it's got an 80 percent market share.
I loathe the stuff.
More irony: A woman who has never broken a sweat excersizing representing this sports drink. Like I believe in it. Yeah, right. I believe in Diet Pepsi and an unpretentious Montrachet.
also btw...
James is okay. He's not bad....he offended all of the new team members one day by mumbling about wives needing to be in submission (my friend Dee had made a comment about how her husband was like a fourth child, and he started muttering under his breath about that not being in her proper place, to talk about her husband in that manner. The rest of the team was shocked, but I wasn't. I'd already guess what he was). But he's the kind of Witness at work I was, at least superficially.... kind of stammering, apologetic about WTS his beliefs. Although I never brought the propaganda to work.
Rosemarie, look at it this way.... you are in a perfect position to call him on his non-PC-correct-JW BS. It's not necessary to be confrontational unless he starts getting offensive again with the "headship" crap, and he's probably not used to having his BS challenged by women. Being in a kind of public relations company, he can't really expect to have that attitude tolerated. Go for it, girlfriend.
However, if you believe in a greater-scheme-of-thing deal, perhaps you are there simply to show him that you are much happier without the JWs than you ever were with them. Nothing irritates a JW more than to know that they are supposed to be The Happiest People on Earth™ , even though everyone else is so much happier than they are.

No one there has any idea I am an ex-JW except perhaps the Mormon supervisor.
I had CoC on my desk covered with a newspaper and my coat. The supervisor came up to the desk and out of the blue, lifts the coat and newspaper and picks up CoC, makes a disgusted grimace, and puts it back down. I said, "Ken, just feel free to go through my personal belongings, why don't you". (And in a previous thread, I just got finished saying I wasn't passive-aggressive anymore.) I wasn't reading it at work; it was just there under my things. ?????
However, Ken has never made the connection that I was a JW. He asked me what religion I was some time after the CoC incident; I said I had been raised Catholic but left when I was 18. Which is true.
Jehover's Holy Ass Spirit has communicated to me via the Holy Ass Scriptures with the benefit of additional Spiritual Foods from the brewery and here is the meaning of the situation (Daniel 2:36):
This is an opportunity for you to see if the Jehover's Wipeness will "eat with such a person" (1 Cor. 5:11). You see, many people today eat at their desks, so when your Jehover's Wipeness associate begins to eat, you must then begin to eat too, and then observe his reaction. If he gets up and leaves, then he is being a good little Wipeness... if he does not get up and leave, then he is condemned to eternal destruction in hadies .
BTW, he is "secretly" (open secret) dating another pod member; she is not a Witness.
he's on his way out, hon!

Listen to Elsewhere on this one Flounder.
He know's what he's talking about, he's pre-med

Estee, I'm afraid she is going to be dragged in.
Although I did catch one conversation which went something like this:
"Why can't we go out tonight?"
"I have a meeting."
"You always have meetings. Why do you have to go all the time?"
"Because I like them."
Are you a fader and not DA'd or DF'd yet? Then I guess watch your back and don't use apostate loaded words like:
I'm DF. For smoking. Although I was almost faded when they DF me.
I turned myself in while the cigarette was still hot in the ashtray.
I will give them credit. They gave me a year to get my act together before they axed me. I had gone to about 20 meetings all that year. The brother who DF me was almost in tears. He really didnt' want to do it.
He was put there because your boss wanted him there. End of story.
Micheal, I realize that. It was kind of a joke, making fun of myself, the statement about Jah wanting him there. Because, as a JW, I believed that Jehovah intimately orchestrated every event in my life....
