  my heart hurts.

  by flower in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well i have been feeling a bit like crap lately.

  work has been very stressful and my attempts to make new friends outside of the jw's have been mostly futile.

  the people i work with are immature and are more interested in the latest office gossip and whose doing what than anything else.

  JWs in The Workplace: What Type Were/Are You?

  by Room 215 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems to me that jws in the workplace fall into three basic categories: (1) the matter-of-fact type who goes about his/her business, not hiding his/her religious afflililation and seldom if ever initiates conversations on religious topics, but who nonethless hews to the wtbs party line on involvement in non-business social events, i.e.

  office holiday parties, etc.

  handling any inquiries succinctly; (2) the aggressive type that seeks opportunity to ``give a witness" to workmates, who brings in and displays prominently wt literature and reads or studies his/her wt at lunchtime and at coffee breaks; or (3) the ``double lifer" easy-going type who's one of the boys/gals and who onlyreveals his/her religious affliliation reluctantly or under duress, yet away from work is a regular meeting attender and active in ``field service.".

  My Ears are Hurting!

  some time back, when i was heading to work, a woman sat beside me in the subway car.

  after a few moments, she glared at me, and said, ?can?t you move your knees closer together????

  being accustomed to hearing stupid, trivial complaints, my response was quick.

  by how many people

  even more so how many people you meet here and after getting a chance to know them, learn they know some of the very same people you do?

  (for example i met a woman here on the board whom i have never met personally but she knows some people that i grew up, even the 'brother' who gave me my first kiss..

  by Amazing in

  2. friends

  part 5a: jfr trial 1st witness .

  note: the opening statements to the jury by the government prosecutor and defense attorneys was not recorded in the trial transcript, other than a note to that effect.

  typically the prosecution opens its case first to prove its position that the defendants are guilty.

  q: why do you think that people are so protective of their egos?

  why is it so hard to let go of one's ego?.

  thought dating and marriage was tough in the year 2000...well just check out what david had to go through.. david wants to marry michal, sauls daughter.so whats he have to do?.

  samuel 18:25-28. at that saul said: "this is what you men will say to david, "the king has delight, not in marriage money, but in a hundred foreskins of the philistines".

  so david rose and struck down among the philistines two hundred men, and came bringing their foreskins and giving them in full number to the king to form a marriage alliance with the king.. lol
