  computer careers

  i made another thread like this, but it was specific to one career.

  personal experience; main point of thread in the last paragraph.. .

  i'm 21, attending a community college for a networking degree.

  I have been a network engineer for 8 years. I remember my first job well, it was for a small company that didn't have a huge budget for IT. They tend to overlook lack of experience in the field for someone that is able to learn quickly. I'm not saying don't submit your resume to the big companies, but your best bet with the way the IT job market is right now is to find a small company that is hiring. You can do a couple things.... look in the newspapers like I did or monster.com.

  The other great route would be to find an IT staffing agency in your area and meet with them. They can be a great help to someone looking to start a new career.

  But in all honesty... the real money in this industry is owning your own consulting firm. I started that in 2002 and have never regretted it.

  Also too, having a degree is great and all, but it is really worthless compared to hands on experience. I have no college degree and only 1 active certification and it has never been a problem.

  Did You Do Business With JWs Thinking They Would Obviously Be More Honest?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i know many people did business with me because i was an elder and had to be honest.

  i never cheated anybody anyway because it's simply not right but i know a lot of witnesses that were "screwed" by other witnesses......what about you??

  ?

  I will never do business with a witness again. I got burned out of 4 grand, 1/2 of which was spend on materials for this brothers clients by me. The work was performed well and his clients were happy with my work... but he decided not to pay me. I really feel like slashing the brothers tires because it has put me in a very hard spot. Not to mention his body of elders didnt care since i was inactive. oh well..

  i just picked up this sci-fi movie from the groovie 70's and watched it.

  i remember that it kind of disturbed me when i was a kid.

  it was about a closed society that automatically kills everyone at age 30, so they can be replaced by a new baby.

  my door sign actually keeps jws away!!

  this past weekend while doing some house work i looked out of my front window because i saw shadows, i walked to the kitchen and looked out my side window, only to see two young brothers walking away.

  one was about 19 and the other looked to be 14, i kind of wish they had actually knocked, im always prepared for them.

  Consolation on Demand

  by chasson in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have a lot of consolation magazines that i could scan.. if you want a particular issue for research, tell me and i will scan it, and you can tell to the board more what are your research, so everybody will have more insight.. .

  here is one of this magazine concerning the madison square garden incident.

  this incident is connected with the olyn moyle's trial and it is interessant to see the vision of rutherford concerning this.. he tried in this magazine to excuse the usher, because what he said on stage was "the word of jehovah", so nobody must stop the "spreading of the word of god".

  Mentioning Jehovah Less

  by roflcopter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i havent picked up a watchtower in a long time, but i cracked open the latest one "does it matter which religion you choose" march 1, 07.. i read the first few articles and it seems that the only time they even mentioned the name was jehovah was when they said "jehovah's witnesses" all other references were god... has the wtbts been trying to use the name jehovah less?

  seems that way to me..

  Need advice from elders, former elders and anyone else for that matter.....

  ok, i've been df'd for 5 months or so now and i'm getting ready to write a letter requesting reinstatment.

  i'm assuming something like "i know jah has already forgiven me so now i"m asking you imperfect sinners to forgive me my sins and give me my life back please".

  wouldn't work.

  When I got DFd I was out for a measly 3 months before reinstated.... I just grovelled like crazy in my letter. Actually one of the elders on the judicial body really insulted me by telling me he didnt think I wrote the letter myself and that I must have got help. Hah at that point I already knew I wasnt interested in the religion anymore, but still... what a way to seal it. None the less they decided to reinstate me.

  Just write about how wrong it was for you to do that, and how you brought reproach upon Jehovah's name, and that you endangered the spiritual wellbeing of the brothers and sisters in the congregation. Since you have been disfellowshipped you can see what it is like out in the world alone without Jehovah's guidance and direction acting upon your life. Then tell them that you have prayed to Jehovah alot and have cried a great deal over the sin(s) that you have committed and have begged of his forgiveness, and that you wish to be known as one of Jehovah's witnesses so as to gain his blessing again and have fellowship with your fellow brothers and sisters. bla bla bla.... you get the drift
