What Do You Do for Work / Career?
by BlackPearl ini've been on the board for quite a while now and was wondering, what do my fellow jwdr's do for work, employment or career?
me, i'm in probably one of the most hated careers in america right now.
(not gonna tell you what it is either) but how about you, what do you do to earn a little coin?.

Got the CD today. I printed out the 90 something pages and put it in a binder. My JW roommate is reading it right now....I can't wait to read it myself. When I told her about the CD last week she asked me if I was trying to 'save' her from the JW's. I said no...which is true...I really don't care if she stays or not. I just want her to see that they are no better than anyone else.
She hasn't been to any meetings for a couple of months now...but she's going to start back this coming Sunday. She sent the elders a letter after I told her about the child abuse settlements telling them that she wouldn't be donating any more money to the JW's. I wonder if they'll have a meeting with her about this. She's been out of town and unavailable to them until now.
I'll let you guys know what she thinks after she's finished reading. Thanks Barbara Anderson for all your hard work.

Do you get joy out of doing your own yard work?
by restrangled inthe heat index here in orlando is currently 105 degrees, but being the bull dog type i am, insist on mowing in this heat.
it will take me another 2 days to trim out, and get any stray stuff done like brown palm fronds etc.
this is my 3rd break on the first day, my face is bright red and am sweating like someone in a gym.. i find great joy in a beautiful lawn, nicely trimmed out, beautiful trees and flowers etc.. on the other hand i am mowing in my light short cotton nightgown which looks like a pretty t-shirt but is lighter weight with a pair of jeans.....my husband is cracking up!

I usually don't mind it too much, except when it's really hot (it's 100 here in South Alabama today).

I've printed articles off the internet and she gave it to them. These idiots don't believe it because it came from the internet. They need an 'old fashioned' paper to believe it. I just can't get anyone to mail me a copy of an actual newspaper with the article in it.

Mr. Flipper,
My roommate wrote a letter to the elders about the settlements and telling them she would no longer be donating any money to the WTS. They told her not to believe everything she read on the internet. I have written to some newspapers trying to get actual copies mailed to me and haven't had any sucess. Did you say you gave him a newspaper? I would love to have a copy of that paper also...she needs something to show them she's not talking about the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! She hasn't been to a meeting since she gave them the letter and I know when she does go back they are going to want to meet with her.

After my JW roommate learned of the sex abuse settlements, she wrote a letter to the elders and told them she would not be donating any more money. She hasn't been to a meeting since. They did come by my house last Saturday (my mother who lives across the road saw them). No one was home (roommate is out of town visiting relatives at the moment).

THIS IS MY STORY (And I'm Sticking To It)
by snowbird ini joined this forum on 1may2007 with a promise that i would tell more about myself as time went on.
well, here goes.. i was born and raised in the black belt of alabama in wilcox county.
it is supposedly called the black belt due to the color of the soil, but i have a strong suspicion it is also due to the fact that there is such a heavy concentration of black people in the dozen or more counties that make up the black belt.. my parents were sharecroppers which was simply a form of whitewashed slavery.

Thanks for sharing Snowbird...I know where you're coming from because my fathers family were sharecroppers when he was growing up. I live in south Alabama (Covington County), so I'm not too far from you!
