A day in the life of a Cop...my story. The truth.
by Witness 007 in
1. jw
2. experiences
i work for a mental health unit with 2 police officers we deal with people who have drug and mental health issues.

at times over the last 10 years we have "taken down" some large drug affected men, mainly "ice" these days which is epidemic here, and let me tell you even with three of us it is a huge struggle.

sometimes back up is needed or mace spray which is aweful stuff!

hi guys and gals!.

i've just put the finishing touches to my latest article, which talks about the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.. you see, i've always been fascinated with the tree of knowledge and the tree of life.

Watchtower Tells Us "Employers Seek JWs Only" Yet Most JW Employers Avoid Hiring JWs, Why?
by BucketShopBill in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
here's a thought: we're told over and over how employers sing the praises of their jw employees, sometimes with a vague quote about how 'if we could only hire jws, we would as they are so honest'.

however, while some jw employers themselves may hire jw employees (usually cheap entry level positions), most don't.

in fact, many jw's in general who have businesses have a rule not to do work with jws, even those in their congregation.

vRemember Those in the Full-Time Service
by thedog1 in
1. jw
2. friends
forgive me if this has been posted before by somebody else but i am outraged by the wt study edition for sep 15 2014 and the study article about remembering those in full-time service.

some choice quotes:.

of course, some have circumstances that do not allow them to share in the ministry full-time at this point.

Kingdom Hall not a Safe Place for Children
by Jeannette in
1. social
2. family
besides having to sit through endless boring meetings during the evenings when they should be in bed getting their necessary rest for school the next day, they are falling asleep in the chairs with their little heads falling over.

then all their fun is taken away by such a strict religion and a desert god which makes them grow up with no self esteem whatsoever.

they tell them they're all sinners from the womb up and only a rod will remove it.
