Can you say, "Get the door, it's OSHA?" Yep, time to close up the sweatshops before workplace safety is examined!

The joys of field service
by TallTexan ini posted this as a response under another post, but i couldn't resist starting a topic on it...lol.
does this sound familiar to anyone???
when i was a jw, i thought there was nothing cooler than getting up at 7 a.m. on saturday, getting showered, putting on dress clothes, meeting at 8:30 a.m., answering a bunch of phony 'how are you this morning's', watching as people jockey for position in their favorite car groups so that they could be with their friends (because god forbid you get stuck in a car group with someone not in your clique), and miss looney tunes while listening to some lame attempt at a 30-second presentation by brother monotonous, then being sure to get out by 9:00 a.m. 'cuz if you were with brother rule-conscious you couldn't start your time until you knocked on that first door.

Yeah, how 'bout a hot dress, knee length, and itchy, sweaty panty hose in the south suburban tenements of Chicago, setting down your Witlessing bag on the floor and praying Jehoppy didn't let the roaches crawl in!

$79 thousand may not go far, but it's huge, because the payment of any monetary award looks like they are accepting responsibility for the on the job injury. That looks like they are admitting they have employees, and a responsibility to pay for their injuries. I hear the door opening wide!

Did you feel picked on and persecuted?
by Virgogirl inas a dub, did you tend to color every slight and small injustice in your day as persecution?
i just learned today, that my elder at work discovered a small error in his paycheck that payroll made.
he immediately ran to the union, as well as any to co-workers who would listen, and said i must have messed up his pay because i have something personal against him, me being an ex witless, and knowing he's an elder.

Therefore, to annoy him, I must somehow be behind the accounting error in payroll. Even the Union steward explained to him I had nothing to do with it but he is determined that because I'm a former Dub, I must want to persecute him. What the heck??? If his customers complain about him, it's becuz they don't like the Witlesses. If his co-workers slight him, it's because he's a Witless. Were we that hyper sensitive too at one time?

Assemblies: Were You Always on the Prowl for a Mate?
by prophecor init was usually encouraged that we try to remain single somewhere during the assembly, especially the summer conventions.
some of you sisters were so hott with your summer dresses, hair freshly done.
though i went for the obligatory meeting attendance, it was nice to be able to go on a fishing expedition for sisters, if that was your choosing.

Sir82 says, "Brother Totters, here's a phone and a list of names..." I wonder where these poor elderly are supposed to be phoning from? The lovely apartment Crooklyn will no doubt set them up in, all utilities paid, and phone bill taken care of too, no doubt? What about the very old, who desire to just plain RETIRE, and have no pension after all those years, and are getting booted out in the dead of winter? Yes, very loving and caring arrangements will surely be made by Jepoopah's Organization!

The Watchtower Society achieved their goal
by Honesty in.
they were able to use the united nations to get access into countries where their literature had previously been banned or rejected.. i just wonder why they don't give the united nations a little credit in the publications when they announce that new doors have been opened up for the kingdom preaching work?

The Witchtower was never affiliated with the UN! Only those awful apostates think that, hahaha!

How stressed were you as a JW?
by JH ini don't know about you guys, but it stressed me alot to be a jw.. i never did like talking in public, in front of a group, or going door to door.. gee, i hated the tms meeting.
the moment i knew that i had a talk, i became nervous and often i had a hard time sleeping.
just knowing that i had to talk for 5 minutes in front of the whole congrgation got me nervous weeks ahead of time.

I was literally skin and bones at my lowest point as an elders's only teenage daughter. Just going into the Hall made my stomach churn and I fought nausea thru the entire meeting. I could barely eat, and the nausea and stomach pain took over, all my waking hours, not confined any more to just at meetings. I went on ulcer medications, and it helped some. Then, the terrible headaches began. I finally had to quit the TM school That helped some, as I was down to 94 lbs. But nothing relieved my stress related symptoms like moving out of my parents house and never going to another meeting! Wow, what a relief! My stomach is perfectly fine now. Occasionally, when work's stressful, my stomach cramps and I remember those dark days at the hall. I know now, my health problems were purely from stress. It's not normal for a 16 year old girl to develope ulcers like I did.
