I'm good at being the mother figure when me and my friends all go out. Undoubtedly at the end of the night or 6am the next morning when everyone is calling it quits I am sorting out everyones rides home and making sure everyone is okay and having a good time.

Who Moved My Cheese..........? ????
by ScoobySnax ini'm 2 days into a leo (leading empowered organisations) study programme away from my job with 16 other managers and despite usually hating study days away, have thoroughly enjoyed the course content.
i never thought that a study course could/would get me to think about my style of management and how to be an effectual leader.
its an american course, that has been slightly adapted to suit an english audience, and its fantastic.. anyway, the course leader gave me a book to read last night called "who moved my cheese" by dr. spencer johnson, it only takes about an hour to read, but it has to be one of the best reads i've ever seen.

Be aware: when companies start giving people that book and showing the video (a bloody cartoon) it is normally the prequel to some 'downsizing'.
True that... I've seen it happen here in Australia. Half our office got the old heave-ho...

First of FrankieSpeakin - I am sorry to hijack your thread for a brief moment.
JWBen is adamant that the age of consent laws in SA are 12/13.
This is not the case at all and in fact the Australian Government goes to great lengths to protect the innoncence of our children.
JWBen - When I initially read your post I did look up information to ensure that I my facts correct.
I refer you to the following link which disucces the reasons why we have an age of consent here and what it is.
Initially I suggest you see point 3.0 section 2 where it states the age of consent for the focus of this article refers to: the age from which a person may lawfully consent to having sexual intercourse.
Under that same point it then has a table outlining the ages of consent for each state and territory. SA is 16/17.
I think you will find that under the law it 16/17 and nothing earlier.
Once again FS, sorry to hijack.

JaffaCake you seem like a good friend to have. This poor guy sounds lost and hurt and confused. I am sure you have been very reassuring for him. Have you thought of pointing him towards JWD for support as well?
I wish you well in your surgery and look forward to reading more of your posts when you return...
Take Care,

Sorry JW Ben but your information is incorrect. You said
Here in Australia it is not illigal for a 12 or 13 y.o to have sex with some one their own age. So a lot of children at that age are often sexually active and do know what they are doing.
However just like the US and the UK and many other countries there is an age of consent here in Australia. The age of consent for heterosexual relationships in all Australian States and Territories is in fact 16 years old.
I ask you to think back to when you are 12 or 13. Did you fully understand the responsibilities of your actions? Sure you might understand the whole process etc of sex but did you really fully understand. Children at 12 and 13 who appear to go around seducing people are STILL innocent. And if in fact they are displaying this sort of behaviour I suggest to you that they are seeking normal love and affection and are confused on how to achieve it.
You may volunteer at a school with children these ages and I strongly doubt that you have observed the full situation. I personally find your comments to be shallow and inappropriate if this is the case.
No JW is supposed to be disphellowshipped for an act. Yet it happens every day. This unjust unscriptural method the WTBTS employ is used more often than not on 'acts' as opposed to attitude. How do a group of men decide if a person is repentant?
Children are innocent. If a child has lost their innocence then they are a victim.
No child should EVER be shunned. I refer back to my comment about needing to feel love and affection. Do you think that if they are shunned that this could possibly help them or rather entrap them in a vicious circle of victimisation?
Finally you mention that bodies of elders will be held accountable for their actions. I disagree. And in the meantime to many children and adults are being terribly hurt.

Hi Harpy
How are you feeling darl?
Listen, I feel I can really relate to your feelings. I too was brought up in the 'troof' and suffered terribly because of it. I never had a boyfriend until about 6 months ago. And like you I feel there is nothing wrong with me that I should have remained unnoticed for so long. Its difficult because from the moment you are a small child it is decided if you are going to fit in with the other kids in the cong or not. And if you don't meet the physically ideal of what a good JW girl is supposed to look like expect to be on your own. All of this is very harsh to the ego. It is hard to find something worthy about yourself when you go through your whole life remaining unnoticed.
I began finding out who I am a little less than 3 years ago. The biggest thing was developing inner confidence. Being proud of who you are and what you can do. There comes a stage in your life when you realise that your a doormat. Constantly trying to do the right thing by people, conform to what you think people of expect of you, yada yada yada. Its due to your upbringing. When you accept that you are being used you need to start saying 'screw you'. Working out what YOU want to do, not what others want you to do. Who YOU are not who others assume you are. And when you have worked through this and discovered who harpy is then you can begin developing your interests and enjoying what life has to offer.
I have always been attracted to self confident people. And it wasn't until I had self confidence that I found love and acceptance.
I'm so sorry you are going through this pain. I would love to help, just someone who understands or anything. If you ever need to talk please PM me.
Love Miss Peaches.

What did they all do on "worldly holidays" when you were home alone?
by LongHairGal ini always hated being alone on thanksgiving or christmas.
what bothered me was that if it were known you accepted an invitation by relatives it was frowned upon.
but what got to me was this: is god more pleased that i am home looking at four walls alone rather than being over somebody's house??

If your single you really don't have a social standing in the borg. After all who knows - you might steal the sisters husbands...
Too bad if you have not stepped out of line your whole life, if your single and over 20 your automatically assigned the reputation of being a tramp.
Grrrr.... It still gives me the crappolas!!!!!

~~LongHairGirl: In response to your comment about padded bras being available. They are very rarely available for D Cups and above. I remember a young guy in his 20's always walking up to me pointing straight at my chest and saying 'nipples'. It was awfully embarrassing but there was nothing I could do about it.
I got counselled for a dress that i wore that was literally ankle length but fitted around the bust - one of the elders found my bust distracting. (This same elder that had been busted for cheating on his wife and never got d.s. for it.)
No road runner cartoons - way too violent.
No Video music shows because its encouraging immorality.
pfft.... they want their rules they can have them. That's no way to live.
