Even if this guy's comments were true, what does any of that have to do with the unsafe work practices your husband mentioned? He's trying to divert attention away from the unsafe conditions.

JW ex-boss is such a horrid man!
by Julia Orwell inok, so my husband worked for this slave driver jw boss in a factory, and injured his back on the job.
so my husband has launched a compensation claim against the jw boss's worker insurance for unsafe work practices.
so the jw ex boss has responded to the claim with this mega statement affidavit thing.

What does 100 calories look like?
by jgnat inhave you ever marvelled, as i have, at the marketing genius that sells us less food for more money?
the marketer who came up with the "100 calorie" packaging ploy deserves a consumer's medal.
i am recording my own 100 calorie snack wonders, that are balanced for a diabetic (carb, protein, and roughage).

I explained the whole thing but I couldn't help feeling a tad resentful. Why do I have to defend my choices?
This is why I stopped going to visit my sisters on Christmas and other holidays. They get insulted if you don't load up your plate at least 3 times, and then try at least 2 of their cakes. BBQs are the same. I don't need a burger with a full pound of meat, and then sausages and potato salad as well.

FF - was it an ulcer you got ? There seems to be a high incidence of women that get ulcers on their shins. (usually older women, that I know of )
Actually, it was more like a boil initially. It started when I woke up about 4 AM with a cramp, but on my shin rather than my calf. I thought that was odd, since I never had a cramp like that before. I got up and walked around to work it off, and stubbed my toe on the vacuum cleaner. (yes, I should have turned a light on). At first I thought I'd broken my toe. By the end of the day my toe was black and I had a huge bump on my shin, which didn't hit anything.
I waited a couple of days but the bump kept growing. The toe healed pretty quickly, but the bump was getting painful enough to keep me awake at night and walking was difficult. The redness was spreading about 2 inches in every direction. I went to the doctor and asked her to lance it and give me antibiotics. She gave me the antibiotics but insisted that there's nothing to lance. I couldn't believe my ears. I went home and lanced it myself, and it took 2 days to drain completely. Two days after that I went to a hospital because the redness continued to spread. They put me on the IV antibiotic, saying that the first doctor gave me the wrong kind.
When I was seeing the nurses they showed me some dead tissue that they said needed to be removed but they weren't allowed to do it. By this time a month had gone by and the wound wasn't closing. I got fed up and cut the dead tissue off myself, and it finally started to heal. I don't recommend this kind of do-it-yourself surgery, but after a month of seeing almost no improvement I felt frustrated.
The problem was I was off the pills for a couple of months because I couldn't afford the $300 every month after being unemployed for 8 months. I was trying unsuccessfully to control my blood glucose levels by basically starving myself. When I did eat it was all the wrong kinds of food. My body wasn't in shape to fight off an infection.
Lesson learned, the hard way which is standard procedure for me.

Interesting thread. I'm type 2 diabetic and have other metabolic issues as well. I recently got discouraged with taking 12 pills a day, not including supplements, weighing and measuring everything I eat, only to find myself feeling worse all the time. So I let the diet slide. Badly.
The result was that I got a bad infection on my shin after stubbing my toe in October. (I'll never know how stubbing my toe can give me an infection on my shin which was undamaged by the incident). I had to wear an IV for antibiotics for a week, and see nurses every second day for a month to get my dressing changed, as well as a plastic surgeon and infectious disease specialist. It's healed now, but I still have a 1/4" deep hole in my leg. Glad I didn't lose it.
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for snack ideas that have little to no sugar or fat.

Heartwarming JW Facebook Comment
by exwhyzee inthis urban legend/anecdote was on the facebook page of a jw who is a facebook friend of mine.
it's kind of long but tell us what you think....it was all i could do to stop myself from making a snarky comment.
a young couple very much wanted to have a family, but his wife could not conceive, so they decided to adopt a baby.

A pioneer couple I knew were on their way to a circuit assembly in Norval, Ontario. They were bringing a bible study with them. On the way they had a car accident, and the bible study died in the crash.
Why is this experience not related at assemblies?

My Final Goodbye
by Lady Lee ini want to start by saying i will not participate in discussion here about my resignation as a moderator at jwn.. simon please consider this as my resignation from that position.. i have been posting on this board for almost 12 years.
i know some of you a lot, others a little and some not very well at all.
i have remained here for those of you who have needed support as you make the transition out of the wts, who needed someone to listen to your experiences of abuse at the hands of jehovah's witnesses, and to both laugh and cry with you as you progress out of the watchtower society.. we know that we have all experienced the cruelty of abuse of one kind or another.

Global Cooling
by Jomavrick inso if i send money to al gore to pay for carbon credits, will it warm up the 30 degree temperature outside today?
pearly on years ago when i realized a few people and organizations were using junk science as away to build a cottage industry of money making and taxing, i knew it was a hoax.
then when the data came back to show the earth has been cooling instead of warming, the con artists changed the label from global warming to climate change.. believe what you want to, i don't care, but blind allegiance to the gw idea is so similar to jw belief in my mind, blind!.
