There was a story going on at bethel that Jaracz hated women wearing pants and wanted all of the housekeepers to wear skirts even while they were at work. The other bros. had to talk him out of it, saving the sisters from having to kneel down in their skirts trying to clean the floor. I think this guy needs to wear a skirt and high heels for a day so he can learn some empathy.

Ted Jaracz and empathy is an oxymoron. I think this man is unable to show or feel any compassion towards others.

Is obesity a disability?

by Sadie5 in

jw
friends

hi all, just dropping by and throwing out a question or two.. two of our department managers are both very obese and therefore cannot do all the tasks that their positions require of them.

as a result of that, the peak time workers, those working while the store is most busiest, end of doing a lot of the physical work they leave for us.

it gets pretty hectic when people are trying to shop and we are getting out ladders and stocking shelves.

I would be ticked off if I were you, I don't think it's fair for you to have to pickup the slack. But I do understand that there all laws protecting people with disabilities. In today's society obesity is considered a disability. I would try to speak to your HR department and see what their position is on your situation, maybe a compromise of sorts could be worked out, like you helping out more with the physical stuff and the overweight ladies can help you with other tasks, in hopes of balancing out the duties a little more.

Good Luck! Dragonlady76

How do you women feel about acting stupid to please men and the borg?

the quote below was part of a talk in the 90's.

i heard this as a child and thought to myself, how can any woman accept such a draconian veiw?

i was not sure if i had understood correctly so, i brought it up to my bible study conductor maggie, i was appalled that she agreed with this veiw, we debated it back and forth, until i got the upper hand, then she told me that i was to "rebellious and strong willed", and that i "should never get married", that i way i would not have to submit to male "headshit" "headship".

Balsam,

That is just sickening to hear. I cannot imagine having to deal with an abusive husband that has free pass to treat you like s*#t. I always wondered why JW women would allow themselves to believe such nonsense. I 'm thinking to myself ...geez I'm a kid and I know better, so why can't they see that too?

For the women: Clothes shopping right before the memorial

by catchthis in

jw

i have noticed now and in the past that most, if not all sisters, go clothes shopping right before the memorial.

they make it out to be this huge deal.

almost to the point where if they do not get that new dress from nordstroms, they won't be able to be seen at the memorial.

Dragonlady76

My mom used to do this in relation to the memorial and the assemblies. It was the only time she really took me shopping for dresses. All the other sisters in the hall did the same. I am not sure why, but I would figure that with tight finances there had to be a good excuse to indulge yourself and add to the wardrobe with out appearing to vain and materialistic.

ok it has been a little bit since there was a fluffy post by p2..so here it goes!.

i have been thinking the last few months about family,friends and what role they take in my life.i have a good circle of people where i live but many do not understand my need to be who i am and to just live life and not give a hoot what anyone else feels the right or wrong way should be.

i live my life based on what i feel is right for myself and my kids...not what most would feel as the norm.

Dragonlady76

P2, The sentiments are lovely.

It's such a shame that friends can treat you better than family sometimes.
