  My experience w/ the JW secretary at my office

  by looking_glass in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe i have mentioned before, i works w/ a lunatic jw.

  this is the same woman who will not go by a shorter version of her name because as she told me in front of some fellow co-workers once i found the truth, i put on the new personality and the fruitages of the spirit, so i go by my full name now.

  alrighty then..

  I'm sorry :-(
  
  
  Seriously, if you have already gone to human resources and they thought it wasn't a problem, then you have got to document everything she says to you that makes you feel uncomfortable. Even better if you have witnesses around that see and hear it first hand. This way if her goal is to cause trouble for you, you have everything you need already.
  
  
  Good Luck!

  What happened to change her mind about this?

  In memory of Jeff...

  by nsrn in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i was just remembering a childhood friend.

  jeff was 2 years older than me, and our mothers were good friends, lifelong witness sisters.

  jeff's dad was 'worldly,' and i can remember being envious that jeff didn't have to go out in service and was allowed to miss many meetings.

  The Evolution of Judas Iscariot

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the story of judas iscariot in the gospels provides the reader with a fascinating picture of how the plot and details of the narratives were gleaned from the ot and embellished in different ways.

  the evangelists and the tradents that preceded them looked to the ot (and other affiliated literature) for information on what happened to jesus, employing a haggadaic method of biblical interpretation similar to how rabbis and authors of pseudepigraphs in the second temple era expanded the brief stories of the patriarchs in genesis with reams of new detail and legendary episodes -- through the means of exegesis aimed to penetrate beyond a plain reading of the text to "fill in the blanks" of what must have happened.

  the authors of the gospels also scoured through the ot to discover what was supposed to happen to jesus and wrote their stories accordingly.

  computer experience

  by Cabin in the woods in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i did not know if i should start this with a simple statement or request who would be willing to be a guidance counselor!

  either tomorrow or monday i am going to be contacting a couple of the local small colleges and see if i could talk to someone about a career with web design.

  the other thought would be mediation.

  For some these demostrations are the tool and the key foe then to deal with their past and move on eventually.
  
  We all heal and grow using differents methods, it doesn't put us in the wrong as long as we are true to what we need at the time.
