Beer and golf at the same time? Beer makes you pee a lot and well, they don't have bathrooms out on most golf courses. Do you also wear depends?

Wouldn't calling someone "cracker" be considered discrimenation??? Isn't that a no-no?

You are a bigger person than me. I'd have to do something to shut her up! I'd have to put some apostate material at her work station.

Shoot, every time she started talking about how great the Jdubs are, I'd start quoting stat's about how they kill more folks worldwide, lots of em kids, every yr. than Jim Jones with their blood transfusion issues. More than that during the 70's when they could'nt have transfusions. .

If you are an ex jw you should begin replying to her on what she preaches to show to the other staff that the jws are talking a lot of nonsense. She will get embarassed and stop.

Singing a Kingdum melody to "enhanced" lyrics, might help do the trick - the words would stay with her every time she heard it at the hall - music sticks, closer than shyte!

I don't know about where you're from, but down here in Florida a person of color calling a person a "cracker" is a racial insult and not allowed...union or not (it's as bad and unacceptable as using the "n" word and in accordance with the WTB&TS neither term should be used), also her attitude toward your racial background is also a violation of your civil rights and could possibly fall under the Federal guidelines of "hate crimes" . Perhaps you should talk to your supervisor...what she is doing is creating a hostile work environment and violating others "civil rights", I realize your position there, but as a union rep it is your responsibility to not only work with the company to insure that all of the employees get their proper wages, benefits, etc., but it is also your responsibility to make sure the company prevents harassment in the work place, be it sexual, racial or religious and it sounds to me like she's hitting 2 out of 3.

And from one "fluffy butt" to another......if we weren't supposed to be a little fluffy, there wouldn't be calories in food"

Hang in there, it's gotta get better

Hello Everyone.

I went to work and asked about the incident and have been told that the union has met with the reps involved and management and basically everyone got a slap on the hand. All upper management is Black. It really is a tense work environment because being half black and half white I hear both sides of the racial slurs. You know I never realized how alive racism all is until the last few years.

You poor thing! All that and the Texas heat too. I hope you have a better day tomorrow, my friend. If you get an hour for lunch and want to get away, you can hop down the road to my house -- I'll be home alllll day tomorrow nursing this foot. I tried to go to work today but my foot didn't take kindly to it and the doctor told me I need to be OFF it for at least another day so the swelling doesn't crack the incision open and make a nasty scar. (Bunion surgery last Friday, in case anyone is wondering.)

I was in Houston last Thursday on business and took a cab from the office back to Hobby Airport. I stepped in the cab and was overcome by the odor of someone who hadn't bathed in QUITE a while. On top of that, the guy was chatty. Really, I prefer a quiet cab ride but seldom get it, and this one was just aching to talk. He was from Nigeria and we talked of this and that for a few minutes, and then he said "isn't it easy to see that the whole world is ruled by SATAN?" I thought several unprintable things while he followed up with more Witness-speak until I couldn't stand it anymore and said, "you're one of Jehovah's Witnesses, aren't you?" He was delighted to say YES, so I told him that I was one for 46 years. He was so impressed . . . until I told him I was almost 50 and then told him why I left the Bog three years ago. That took up the rest of the ride and I had him stuttering by the time he pulled up to the terminal. I covered child abuse, hypocrisy, my dad's suicide due to rotten elders, lack of love or anything resembling Jesus' teachings, and finished off with the thought that if the early Christian congregation turned away from Jesus' basic teachings, then it could happen again.

Hehehehehehe. I like anti-witnessing!

Hugs,

Nina
