Actually this whole episode has been a blessing in disguise. I've come to realize that I spend entirely too much time fantasizing about my female coworkers, and something like this was bound to happen. Lesson learned, big time.
Given my very fragile self-esteem, getting fired could have been a knockout punch that I couldn't recover from.
Thank you for your support through this difficult time!! Y'all are great!

I'm not sure if this admonition from the faithful slave is in other KM's. But I do find this hilarious.
"Hey, these little peon dubbies keep emailing us! We need to put a stop to this!"

In JW Dogma: John Outweighs Jesus
by Room 215 inthe book of revelation, purported to have been written by the apostle john in his tenth decade of life, and one of the most contoversial entries into the biblical canon (so many early fathers opposed its inclusion, it made it in by the ``skin of its teeth") and full of arcane imagery and so convoluted that that it's been the cause of often bitter sectarian wrangling over its interppretation for 1900 years, seems for the wtbts to outweigh the words of jesus in its formulation of dogma.. consider how the insistence of the literal application of the 144,000, for example, has distorted -- and vitiated the impact of-- such plain-language parables as the sheep and the goats, the ten virgins and the other sheep,not to mention the influence of this book on their worldview.
in short, this one book has become for jws a prism through which to peer into the rest of the bible.
that's the view from two one five; what say you?.

To me it seems like Paul is king in Watchtower-world. How often were we looking up something in Romans, or Corinthians, or Hebrews? It seemed like all the time to me. I got tired of reading Paul. I find his writings to be somewhat condescending and shrill. No wonder the WT quotes him so much. Here's a couple of quotes that I like:
Protestantism was the triumph of Paul over Peter, fundamentalism is the triumph of Paul over Christ. - Will Durant
The Christian churches were offered two things: the spirit of Jesus and the idiotic morality of Paul, and they rejected the higher inspiration... Following Paul, we have turned the goodness of love into a fiend and degraded the crowning impulse of our being into a capital sin.

by DanTheMan indantheman is a stupid f*cking loser who may be losing his job tomorrow due to a very f*cking stupid loser thing he did at work.. i am so disgusted with myself right now.

OK, I didn't get fired today. But the situation is still in limbo. I'll definitely know by tomorrow. This is agonizing!
I talked with my boss, she says that it is not up to her, but I gathered from what I was able to "fish" out of her that everything should be cool, I may get a suspension or something.
It seems as though the main concern is not my bumbling, ill-advised apology. The main concern is, what exactly happened at the employee banquet? And the fact of the matter is is that she didn't even notice my lustful gaze. And there was no touching, nothing inappropriate said. All I did is ask her if she was having a good time and if another one of our coworker's had gone home.
I just don't see how they possibly could can me for this. But, stranger things have happened. Like I indicated in a previous post, the company I work for is as strict as they come when it comes to stuff like this.

Jah's Organization Expands...!
by Latte inwatchtower july 1st 2002. jehovah beautifies his people with light.
jehovahs organization expands.
para 9. the worldwide kingdom proclamation that began in 1919 drew in thousands of new ones to jehovahs service.

1919 mentioned 4 times in 3 paragraphs -
I guess it is true what this and another thread I was looking at insinuate - The WT is de-emphasizing 1914 and replacing it with 1919, the year the "kingdom proclamation" started.
Very clever Watchtower! Your weaseling is second to none! Soon the amnesiatic dubs will have forgotten you ever mentioned 1914, just like with 1975!

Thank you all for your encouraging comments.
The humiliation of it all is the worst thing.
It's like, I know I'm a freakin' lust puppy, but when it goes to the point of getting me in trouble, that's embarrassing as hell.
Not to mention how terrible I feel for my creeped-out coworker who is probably going to be conscious and embarrassed of her boobs every time I see her. Nice going, Dan.
Thanks Neon, your definitions of sexual harrassment have made me breathe a little easier. Certainly quid pro quo is out of the question, and it would be a stretch to say that what I did created a hostile environment. I wouldn't be surprised if they moved me to a different cube so that I don't work in such close proximity with her. If that is the worst that comes from this, then I'll be one happy man. I'll let you all know what happens tomorrow.
Again, thanks.
BTW, the incident happened as I described it, I didn't leave out any pertinent details to make me look innocent, as I'm not.

I'm not fired yet, and I may be blowing all of this out of proportion. But - this has been about the best job I've ever had. I really love it there.
God, I wanna die.
Why am I about to be fired?
It's a long story, and you're gonna laugh and think to yourself "what a stupid f*cking loser" because that is exactly what I am.
Our company held an employee appreciation banquet last Saturday night. Dantheman had a few drinks. Dantheman started conversing with a very voluptuous (and married) coworker of his that was wearing a very cleavage revealing top. Dantheman was all but drooling on her.
Dantheman goes up to said coworker on Monday and apologizes for being inappropriate at the banquet. Coworker doesn't understand what Dantheman is apologizing for. Perhaps Dantheman wasn't as obvious as he thought he was. So does Dantheman do the smart thing and let it stop right there? No, Dantheman does the stupid f*cking loser thing, being the stupid f*cking loser that he is, and explains to her why he is apologizing ("I had my eyes in the wrong place when I was talking to you")
At this point Dantheman realizes that he has totally creeped his coworker out, because that is what stupid f*cking losers do, creep chicks out. So Dantheman sends her an email today stating that it was stupid to have brought it up and let's forget the whole stupid thing.
Dantheman's email intercepted by curious HR person. HR person asks Dantheman's voluptuous coworker what it was about. Coworker explains that Dantheman apparently felt the need to apologize for drooling on her boobs at the employee banquet Saturday.
HR calls Dantheman and his supervisor into office. Dantheman knows how strict his employer is about these kinds of issues. Dantheman feels like a complete idiot explaining to his boss and HR dude what happened. HR dude tosses up terms such as "harrassment".
The ball is in the voluptuous coworker's court right now. It's all about how she perceived the situation. If she perceives the situation as harrassment, Dantheman could very well be looking for a new job.
If I get fired, I guess I'm getting what I deserve. I'm a pathetic moron, and a stupid f*cking loser.
I hate myself.
