  anyone want to give me some main reasons employers reject job applicants?

  i already have some, but this is for something for school... and i really need a wide range of answers... they are looking for me to give them quite a few reasons.

  i need serious ones, too... not something inappropriate for school or ridiculous.

  Wow... you guys are great. I can't believe anyone actually bothered to respond to this. You all are so helpful and really pull through for me always and I appreciate. If anyone else wants to respond, go right ahead... I'd love to hear more, but if not, that's okay, too.... I just thought it would be inappropriate if I didn't thank everyone who already responded.

  THANK YOU ALL!!!! I really appreciate it and I will be using most of those answers.

  Thanks for the amusing ones, too, ballistic.... and also to the story about the guy with the boots in her face, haha!

Sorry to bother you with this, and I'll probably get no responses, but if anyone wants to help a girl out, please let me know why you think employers reject certain job applicants. I would be eternally grateful.

  Watchtower can be sued for NOT allowing blood transfusions ???

  by run dont walk in

  .

  i was watching the news today in alberta canada, saw a preview for the 6 o'clock news tonight mountain time channel 3, there will be a piece about a former jw, father (i believe it is lawrence) who's daughter died of leukima, and was not allowed to have blood because of her religion.

  apparently the court has ruled that he can sue the watchtower for negligence, hopefully someone can tape this news piece and put in on the net, unfortunately i don't know how to do that.. go lawrence !!!!!!!!

  Thanks, rebel! Great idea.

  I know, it seems we have to point out the most sensational aspects of things to get the media interested. But if that's what I have to do, I'll do it.

  The JW's are a non-issue....

  think about it.... if it wasn't for the fact that most of us are/were dubs...we wouldn't even notice their existence.. i used to say that when i was a dub (to the scorn of all)...when they would talk about the wt & aw being the most widely "read" (they took liberty with the word "distributed") mags on earth bullsh*t!.

  except for my visiting jwd... there is almost no evidence of the existence of the dubs in my life...they are a non-issue!.

  they are a lot of drama bout nuthin...really...if you'll step back and notice.... agree or disagree?.

  I think we are probably the only ones that discuss them on a regular basis.

  Do they REALLY THINK that everyone else does?

  Did you feel uncomfortable going into churches when you were a JW?...

  by Hecklerboy in

  2. friends

  i remember going into churches when i was a jw for wedding or funeral and feeling a sense of dread.

  i thought the demons were going to come out of the walls at me.

  and of course i had the self-rightous attitude that the church would be destroyed soon in armegeddon.. recently i've been helping teach a karate class at a local baptist church.

  Yes, I am pretty sure the Unitarian Universalist Church attempts to affirm most anyone's beliefs. I would not really consider them a Christian church, because their opinion goes something like this: "Some of us believe in Jesus, some of us don't." That's a belief, I guess, but that doesn't really fall into the realms of what "Christians" believe. We used to have a UU minister that lived behind us, and she pretty much told us that this is what the UU church goes by.

  Also... I have a friend who used to attend a UU Church in Philadelphia... she didn't really like it because almost every single week they made a huge deal over gay rights and gay marriage. She wasn't against gay marriage... but she got sick of that issue already. It wasn't really what she was looking for in a church. I don't think it's wrong for churches to be politically active, necessarily, but according to her, this was emphasized way too much. They would hang big signs on the church that would say stuff like "Loving Marriage Unions for All" and stuff, and I think that's not what she was looking for in a church.

  If you're looking for a church that's less ritualistic... a lot of non-denominational churches aren't ritualistic at all. Many Protestant ones aren't ritualistic, actually. I think Lutherans and some Presbyterians are... but there are a lot of contemporary, non-denominational churches that aren't ritualistic at all.

  Really! I couldn't agree more.

  What kind of a loser needs to draw up a contract for it? If someone is an all around sexy person, I'd want to be as sexy for him as possible anyway. I mean, not that I'd have to TRY very hard... haha, but I like sexy behavior and dressing up. No one would ever write it in a contract for me, that's for sure. Besides, what about spontaniety? Is it really fun if someone's doing it for you because they are OBLIGATED TO? Because they have a contract to do so? I don't think so.

  I don't think the guy looks cute at all. He's nasty looking... and not just cause I don't like him.

  I think it's obviously more than a sex-play type thing. Sure, role playing is fine and all... but who would actually go to the trouble to TYPE that all out if it was just a game? How would they turn anyone on? That would be a complete waste of time. And if that's supposed to be some kind of game, it sure sounds like a couple of psychos playing it.

  I hope it gets some public attention. Didn't some little girl in Texas belong to some kind of "Church of Christ" something or other, and her parents didn't want her to get any treatment for her cancer... and that made the news all over. I remember, the parents made a videotape of her saying "It's my body! No one has asked ME how I feel about it, and I don't want any treatment!" or something like that. That got attention... maybe this will, too. I'll probably try to inform the paper again, but who knows what will happen with that? They seem completely disinterested.

  Well, to me, they are an issue, because I am really annoyed by them today. And I really hate what they did to my boyfriend (and also what his family did to me)... so it is an issue for me. I wish it weren't, and I know it shouldn't be... but it still bothers me. Hopefully, after time goes on, I will get a hold of myself and stop loathing them so much. I know that it's not good to despise them... it's unhealthy for ME and it's energy consuming. I really wish it wasn't an issue for me, but it just is.

  But for the MAJORITY of people... most people couldn't care less about them, as far as I can tell. Like I've said before, I don't think people really think too much of them. Most people just view them as weird and annoying, and will make a casual joke about them... like "Oh, I slammed the door in their faces!" or whatever. But I don't think most people consider them too relevant... although I know if the issue does come up, the most popular topic seems to be the blood issue. And most people are just completely disgusted and confused by it. But as far as most people's day to day lives... the only ones who really care about JWs are JWs themselves, and the ex-JWs, and those of us closely affected by JWs because of family, etc.

  I have never posted a picture on here before so I don't know if it will work. But anyway, I will try... let me know if you get it. This is a guy that does the weather on one of our local stations, and I think he's really sexy. I don't know why, because he's not really your typical hot guy... not sexy in a CONVENTIONAL way, but sexy for some reason none the less. Anyway, I met him at a local event in our city and we were talking for a little bit and he seemed really interested in me. We e-mailed a little bit after that but then we just kind of stopped talking. Does anyone else think we'd make a cute couple? He's probably 15 years older than me... and I have a boyfriend anyway... but hey, I'm not planning on DOING anything about it.
