Gill
sorry to read what you are going through ATM.
I think there are laws in place the problem is in proving anything and getting work collegues to back you up.
Is a change of job possible

Bullying is a crime!
by Gill inthe last few months have been very difficult for us.. my husband has been experiencing bullying by his boss at work and his management team.
there is no reason for the bullying....it is just happening.
he is repeatedly being asked into investigations and disciplinary meetings for issues so small that his trade union representatives are at their wits end and have finally decided to call in the head of their trade union and a lawyer to begin going down the road of constructive dismissal.

Regional Building Committee decisions boggles even a dubs mind...
by undercover inso i'm talking to someone from my old hall and he tells me that there are some disgruntled jws (including elders) who feel like some bad decisions are being made by the rbc.. for instance, one hall needed a new roof.
an elder, in the construction business, made a deal with a local non-jw roofer that if the brothers cleared off the old shingles, the roofer would come in with his crew and do the new roof for x amount of dollars.
the rbc elder in charge got wind of that arrangement and nixed the deal.

In the UK they are a registered charity, surely this makes the RBC "jobs for the boys" illegal and needs more investigation.

Just posted this to the show:
Well done for airing this topic.
Sadly I felt that the coverage was rather lightweight considering that people die because of this belief.
It's followers spend every free moment knocking on doors attempting to persuede others to do the same.
A JW knows that if they succumb to medical advice and have a transfusion they will be deemed by the congregation to have dissociated themselves from their religion. The consequences of this are horrendous. They will be totally cut-off from any contact with their JW family, friends or work collegues.
They will be ignored in the street not even a greeting is allowed. They can attend the meetings but have to sit at the back and only the elders are able to talk to them-no one else can. This can go on for as long as the local elders take to be convinced of repentance., then a reinstatment may take place.
If that person decides that for them a transfusion was right and so never "repent" then their whole way of life is gone.Families are being torn appart by such a cruel regime.
Not part of the happy smiling "Live forever on a Paradise Earth" that the JW's like to promote.
I was a JW for 20 years. -

A very short view from the loyal JW perspective only.
The father totally evaded the question as to children and blood.
I dont know if this sort of show actually has the cahunas to give an honest coverage on this topic.
The programme website needs lots of concise feedback which might help redress the balance and save lives

Recovery of an Adult Convert (Reconnecting with Loved Ones)
by lonelysheep init is my third year out and a heavy period of recovery.
speaking of which, i thought i was recovered!.
you know that as jw's, the rule is to stay away from anyone who is essentially persuading you to not be associated with 'jehovah's people'.

Yep been there, done that - still wearing the t-shirt.
It is very hard to unravel, maybe you never can. Another invisible shackle used to trap people in JW land.
