When I was a dub I started a cleaning and janitorial business. That was in 1974, when I left I gradually faded out the janitorial jobs and concentrated on building maintenance which opened up a much bigger scope of work. Now when I get jobs I can contract out a lot of the work. I enjoy it very much.

So, did you know any Janitors or Landscape people?
by free2beme inlol!!
okay i know this is a dumb question, but was it just me or did we seem to have a lot of janitors and landscape people in that religion.
i did know a couple of higher paying professions in our congregation, nurses, large business owners and a couple of retail managers.

"Neutrality" is Nonsense
by metatron ini have observed some people drifting away from the watchtower who will acknowledge that most witness beliefs are false.. however, they may still cling to "neutrality" as a means of assuring themselves that "it's still the truth".
the witness idea of neutrality is naive.
as entire nations now mobilize for wars, the idea that you are somehow 'not part of it'.

Happily self employed and have been for 32 years. I could retire but enjoy it too much. Do all types of building maintenance and sub-contracting.

Hello board.
by MrBee inhello to all on this board.
i am a none jw and never have been, although most of my family are.
the lifestyle i lead has caused me to become a "black sheep" and i am limited to a couple of phone-calls a year, which suits me just fine.

Respect your Elders - they just moved up a class!
by unclebruce ini just found this article from fellow adelaidite b kotwall.
elders now are "glorious ones"
in the past the watchtower society (wts) claimed that the "glorious ones" in 2 peter 2:10-12 and jude 8 are of the "anointed" or "144,000" or "remnant" of such.

Elders are supposed to be shepherds, you know leave the 99 and go save the lost one. However they toss out the lost one to save the 99. A sure sign they are not true shepherds.

I hated it, but put in my 10 hours (cheated) to remain an elder. Never was productive at it so I feel I am free from the blood of all men. and "women". No-one ever joined from my preaching. Oh by the way welcome beachbugg

Question about "good works" ??? ???
by Kristofer innot ever having been a jw, i was curious to know something.... are witnesses ever encouraged to do good works for the less fortunate?
(giving to the poor, working in a soup kitchen, helping the elderly, other volunteer work, etc..).
i know scripture states you will know believers by their "fruit".

"good works" to them meant selling more magazines.

I am STUNNED......
by Frannie Banannie ini just got a call from the social security office.
now......these people sent me a letter of denial of ssi even before their doctors examined me a coupla weeks ago, so i couldn't imagine why they would be calling me.
at first i thought she was telling me that they'd mistakenly sent out the denial letter to me, but that wasn't it.
