  Blondie says:

  "Actually the enterprising ones quickly find out what bad employees jws make."

  Not only do JW's make bad employees, they are apt to sue their employer:

  http://jwemployees.bravehost.com/NewsReports/2013.html

  Probably more than any other religious group in the United States, Jehovah's Witnesses have a number of religious beliefs and practices which can lead to confrontations with their Employers, with their co-workers, with customers, and with others with whom they interact on the job. That fact does not mean that the civil rights of a Jehovah's Witness Employee are any less inviolate than the civil rights of other employees. It simply means that Employers will probably have to pay a little more attention to those employees who are Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Cleaning and polishing floors at Walmart using a propane powered Pioneer Eclipse Buffer late at night is a much sought after profession by Jehovah's Witnesses.

  I remember Seymour but it is to close to my brother. Still Totally ADD

  Seymour is south of Knoxville and east of Maryville. It is farther from Cleveland than either of them and housing is cheap there.

  It is only about 2 miles from my home to the outskirts of Seymour. Lots of farms and pasture land with some subdivisions, mobile homes and brick or frame ranchers.

  You can find plenty of nice 3 BR houses on an acre lot in the area for under $100,000.

  Crossville and Cookeville are both pretty but they are on top of the Cumberland plateau.

  They get more snow than the towns down in the Tennessee Valley. A lot of snow sometimes.

  Harriman is nice but it gets a lot of snow, too.

  If you don't mind living a little more to the east, Oak Ridge is nice but you will be close to the nuclear facility.

  North Knoxville is pretty nice and not as much traffic as west Knoxville.

  Maryville is really great.

  Walland and Townsend are too but expect snow.

  Seymour is nice and small. It is about 15 miles south of the center of Knoxville.

  Do you need to work?

  We all know how the Watchtower throws elders under the bus when lawsuits against the organization are filed so it is probably a blessing in disguise for them as long as they haven't covered up acts of child molestation.

  Turned me into the elders who made many, many, TOO MANY visits over the course of 4 years.

  A MS and his uber spouse also visited many, many, TOO MANY times over the course of 4 years.

  When my spouse and I separated two elders started snooping around my home at night trying to catch me committing adultery.

  My sposue constantly violated an order of protection and did the same thing until one of my friends who is an officer in the local Sheriff's Department followed her as she pulled into my street.

  When I filed for divorce the BOE harssed me until I showed up at one of their fact finding meetings with a digital tape recorder.

  A month after my divorce was final I called the PO and told him that I had had enough of the cult and didn't want them to evre contact me.

  They haven't and I haven't had any contact with the few members of my family still in for over 10 years.

  The jaydubyas avoid me and run the other way when the see me in public.

  I like it that way.

  yesterday local needs was this theme.

  are you spiritually grown up.. summary: if you are between 18-35 and not ms or elder, you lazy idiot are like a child.

  at this age, especially if you grew up in "da trooooth" you have no issue with jw.org doctrine right (how do you know...?

  Just Kidding:

  " Zoos, in many cases there IS young blood eager to reach out, but the fault-finding & over-critical elders do not give them a chance. That was what happened in my case, and it had the reverse effect on me. Instead of striving to do more and "reach out", I was discouraged to the point that I began to despise "reaching out." I felt that it was as if the elders were dangling a carrot on the end of a stick in front of me & that I was the donkey wasting effort in trying to reach that carrot. That discouragement led me to discover TTATT & here I am!"
