I'm an introvert so I don't like being the one to initiate a conversation. And I've got the luck to live in a large, JW dwelling apartment so I see them every day.

You said that you receive an income that's $4.50 an hour higher. A lot depends on how much of an increase that is in proportion to your current salary.
You also said that you love your current job. Do I take that to mean that you hated your former job?
Also, do you have a chance of getting your old bosses' position?

As usual...
JESSE J. HOLLAND, Associated Press:
Obama aides push back against criticism of inaction on Syria
Obama aides took to Twitter and the airwaves this week to point out what they called the hypocrisy from Republicans and from Trump himself.
...
Tommy Vietor, former spokesman for the Obama National Security Council, sent out Trump's tweet demanding Obama get congressional approval. "What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval," the businessman tweeted in 2013.
Now president, Trump ordered the missile strikes on Thursday without seeking approval from Congress.
...the Orwellians are at it again.

rebel8,
Sadly, this is not much crazier than the dubs' actual beliefs.
When one person expresses those types of beliefs he is instantly described as psychotic. When a large group of persons say the same thing most others are reticent to call them collectively psychotic.

Why are the evolutionist's so upset?
by Esse quam videri inso many evolutionist's on this forum are upset at the terror attacks in europe such as recently in sweden.
it is just a logical step in the evolution of the human race.
should you not rather be celebrating the great changes taking place right before your eyes and constructing detailed explanations of the cell structure and dna development in the human brain.. you can't eat your cake and still have it.

Proof they are not a cult??
by lriddle80 inthe following is from a facebook post and..maybe i am missing something, but none of these items disprove them being in a cult.
jehovah's witnesses are often mistaken to be something else.
some say it a secret cult while others believe something else.......i'm very proud to tell you my readers that i'm one of jehovah's witnesses.. below are 17 facts that shows jehovah's witness is not a cult..... 1. there are currently about 8 million jehovah's witnesses around the world.. 2. an average of over 800 people become jehovah's witnesses daily.. 3. we keep coming to your doors even though we have regular jobs and family like you because we are admonished to do so by jesus christ.. 4. we do not participate in wars and for this reason more than 1600 jehovah's witnesses were killed by hitler.. 5. there are currently over 300 jehovah's witnesses in prison in south korea and egypt because they refused to stop preaching or enlist in the military.. 6. we don't salute the flag or say national anthems because we pledge our allegiance only to god.. 7. yes we have fun and party too so don't get that twisted.. 8. not many of us know the name of the president of our headquarters because we do not pay any reference to him he is a fellow servant of god just like the rest of us are.. 9. you earn the privilege of becoming a jehovah's witness.

12. Every year, more people read our monthly magazines than any other magazines in the World.12. Every year, more people read our monthly magazines than any other magazines in the World.
They produce a huge number of magazines which are mostly trashed. But since they seem to know what the numbers are please tell us:
Which magazines came into second and third place to the Watchtower? Also, what are the numbers of magazines produced by the three above mentioned?
If they don't know the answer to that then how are they aware of which magazine is most read? What's more, how does the number of magazines they produce keep them from being a cult?
11. 1 out every 455 Nigerian is a Jehovah's Witness and 1 out of every 262 American is a Jehovah's Witness.
And what's the point of that?
8. Not many of us know the name of the President of our headquarters because we do not pay any reference to him He is a fellow servant of God just like the rest of us are.
Whether a "cult" member may usually know the name of his leader it is not impossible for the leaders to be anonymous irrespective of the fact they are a cult.
I any case, many of them do know the names of the Governing Body's members. A long line of Witnesses usually forms to get an autograph whenever they speak at an assembly.
Most other points are trivial and does not prove anything special about the Witnesses.
