  I was once asked if I had dogs, what type, kids, etc. that kept me busy after work? I told the two hiring people (both attorneys, one a lead at the firm) that it was an illegal question. The same interview, I kid you not, I was asked what religion I was? I told them that was also illegal, but I was a practicing witch (tongue and cheek). Believe it or not, I got the job. But, I quit a year later. The boss was a jerk, and I told him so when I left.

  I had another strange inteview. The female boss looked at my resume and kept saying that I was qualified for her job. Then, she glorified that every person in her office worked until 10:00 p.m. every night. The people who worked there looked very haggard. I told the recruiter that I wasn't working in a sweat shop. I already had a great paying job with a terrific (Mormon) boss.

  What argument is there for a single God?

  by Qcmbr in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  mormon culture is replete with the concept of multiple gods and requires it to work.

  other than a few biblical references does anyone have any compelling arguments for why any god, deist , creationist or full on personal god would - of necessity- be alone.

  the argument seems somewhat weaker if the gender is applied as well.

  Is the Bible really for a single God? I don't think so. There is Christ, Satan, Angels, Demons . . .these are all god-like-lesser-god characters. Just like Zeus and his gang.

  The need for a single God was a creation of a people to make their religion more superior then their neighbors.

  The United States needs a new tax base. It should be a penny-a-stock transaction tax. Not an income tax, or a sales tax, but a transaction tax on the stock market. Let the investors pay for the United States. Many are rich foreign countries we owe money to anyhow.

  I've just been 'Outted' by my own sister

  by Newly Enlightened in

  2. experiences

  i thought that we could just fade away peacefully, but i guess my mother told my sister that we no longer wanted to be jehovah's witnesses so now all hell is breaking loose.. .

  it's a relief tho.

  i feel really sad and upset also, because my mom lives with my sister and now has been forbidden from contacting me or vice versa.

  Your mom is a person with rights. if you have reason to believe someone is holding her against her will and/or refusing her to contact you, you should be able to call the authorities to check up on her, alone. The Department of Children and Family Services and/or the police is a good starting place.

  "It's cheaper to keep her." Divorce Lawyer quote. LOL.

  Your relationship isn't in the best situation. I would not rely on the fact that there are no more Facebook messages. He was caught on that medium and is likely using another.

  If another woman is saying, "I love you" to your husband, then she either is a fruitcake or he's done something to cause her to say it. If it is a real relationship, then it will have to also die a natural death. People in extramarital relationships with "love you" words really don't want to end it, and if they did end it ....would prefer to do it after a 10 day long cruise together.

  The best (ok, sharpest) advice I heard is for the wife to write BOTH her husband and the girlfriend for a 3-way dinner date at a local restaurant so all three of you can come to an understanding. The husband has usually made the wife look bad to the girlfriend. This is the wife's chance to set her reputation straight, set the rules for the post affair game, and to get a feel for if the relationship is truly over. I don't think the 3 way happens alot, but it scares the pants off the husband and girlfriend.

  Perhaps a more gentler way to do it is to tell your husband to "go to the other woman, you love him so much tht you'd hate for hiim to lose the 'love of his life'"; but with the understanding that you will not wait around for him to decide. If someone else comes your way, you may not be around for him when he gets back.

  I realize you are in limbo with this relationship. You are having alot of trouble deciding what to do. You seem to analyze the situation, and will make a move when you are ready. Just don't let it go on too long, becuase wallowing in a toxic relationship is not healthy for you. You will feel better when you can move on with your life.
