  Welcome to the board Trybalance. I can't add too much more that wasn't already stated perfectly. Just wanted to say welcome and stick around, your posts are good ones. I look forward to reading more of them.

  I will add this however. If you decide to become a baptized witness and later on down the road want to leave you will be in for alot of emotional pain and hurt that alot of us are experiencing due to shunning and selective conditional love. My wife posts here as Tinkerbell. She and I were forced to DA because we would not go to a JC meeting. I had previously discussed our cicumstances with the elders and asked for time to help Tink with her depression from losing her father to suicide and her mother battling cancer. Their answer in short was "to get over it" and let them, not "worldly professionals" help us. Tink has three brothers who were baptized, one DF'ed two faded out gradually, but they celibrate holidays, smoke, and are living life the way they see fit. They are all great guy's. The rest of the family that are active witnesses will still talk to them and have some limited association with them. Tink and I, however, have been totally shunned and no longer have any contact whatsoever with these other siblings. It is inconsistant behavour and selective shunning, hypocritical!

  It hurts. Coming here to share in similar experiences helps heal the pain. I hope you never have to personnaly go thru this.

  Hey Everyone..Sorry for the disappearing act. I got real busy at work and helping Tink recover and was just too worn out to post. I did get on occasionally to read some to stay up with some of the topics. I am home today from work with a bad arthiritis attack. I get them when the weather changes. We have had some heavy rain here in Tn on and off for a couple weeks and it's finally effecting me. The way I look at it though is I only get down (layed up in bed) a few times a year, and there are some who get totally incapacitated from this disease, so I consider myself fortunate to be able to function fairly normal compared to those who can't. Anyway, I'll be trying to post some as long as I can stand sitting by the computer...=:-)>

I'm sorry for you being treated like that, but I am glad to hear your life is much better now and your dealing with it well. Take care girl.

  Hey Jim...Good point. That's a possibilty. That would definatley limit the chance of claims on injury. However, lost time costs money too. So even if they replace the injured with new blood, there is still lost time in doing so. I know you share the same sentiments as I do about the $$$WTS$$$...LOL

  Hey JT...I'm sticking to my opinion. Labor Laws still have jurisdiction in so-called Volunteer institutes. If the injured witnesses didn't make claims, then that is probably because they didn't want to be DF'ed for going to the "authorities". It's hard for me to believe that not one of them has "bitten the bullet" and did it anyway. It may be that the WTS is preparing for it, in light of the many law suits arising from the abuse and pedophile scandal. $$$$WTS$$$$ Lets not forget their true motivation$.

  Intersting article Devon...Thanks for posting it. I noticed they included a very important point, that I think is their real motivation for going with automation to decrease manual labor. From Lindem's comments in the article it seems that this line is producing injury claims from the workers on the line. Notice the coment from Lindem : " The automatic palletizer also helped Watchtower eliminate hours previously spent by volunteer workers. And more important, it helped eliminate the physical strains of repetitive lifting and loading associated with manual palletizing."

  Lindem continues with this statement: " In the two to three months that this has been in operation, the palletizer, along with the newly installed case packer and taper, has helped greatly in increased productivity, reduced repetitive motion injury, and cut the number of workers by four or five."

  I work for a large Engineering company here in Nashville. We supply full factory automation systems to large corporations, One very large "cost justification" for spending so much money on automation is Injury claims by the workers. This one aspect, sometimes, can be enough to justify the high cost of automation to bring a large return on investment (ROI). It seems as though, the WTS is getting hit with Injury claims from some of their workers on lines that have high lncidence of heavey lifting and repetitive motion to cause back injury, carpul tunnel injury..etc.

  The WTS is just acting like any other high $$$ major printing corporation, that it truly is. They would like us to believe it is so more books can be printed faster and get to those starving sheep out in the world searching for spiritual food, when all it looks like to me IMHO is that their loosing money paying for injuries and lost time on their production lines!
