  I do all the time. There is a group of us that knew each other when growing up - we are out now - and I apologize for actions I took while in.

  I know of 3 couples who are mixed JW and other religion.

  In all 3 cases the JW was the wife.

  All have children who turned into JWs.

  Photo ID Badges for Quick Builds

  hey guys, sorry i haven't been on here much lately.. i just thought i would drop by and let you know of something i received.. from when i was 12 until i was 25, i worked on quick builds.. i started out just helping out wherever they would put me - then joined an actual crew: attendants.

  i used to flag for forklifts.

  then i asked if i could learn how to be an electrician because the flagging was about as boring as watching grass grow.. i only worked on electric crew 1 year, back in 2006.. i just got an email from my attendant crew overseer saying that i need to submit a photo for my id badge so that i can go to quickbuilds.

  I don't think they have the time Quarterback to compare pictures - they would probably just compare names to the rosters. much quicker and easier on the computing power

  In case anyone wanted to see the website they pointed me to - there isnt much of interest unless you have a login (which they also gave me - which turned out to be the one for my mother).

"We have started the process of printing the photo ID badge cards required to access building projects in the future. Our records indicate you have not yet uploaded a picture."
  
  1) Does anyone know if they are having issues with unauthorized people being on the worksite?
  2) It has been almost 6 years since i went to a quickbuild. Are they that bad at paperwork?

  RIP - The last good JW I knew

  i just received an email.. the last jw that i absolutely loved died yesterday.. he was funny, loving, kind, smart and quirky.. when he was the tms overseer, if you did a substitute talk he would say "i'm going to put a 'g' under point number 99: suave, sophisticated and debonair" (that was back when we got graded).. and, he was very intelligent - we played trivial pursuit (his favorite game) - he got all the pieces, except sports, on his first turn.

  he never watched sports so he never knew the answers.. rest in peace - i hope that god allows you into heaven even though you were part of an evil cult.

  talesin, essentially that is what I hope.

  Surely, if I can see that this man was amazing - he can too

  When he was the TMS overseer, if you did a substitute talk he would say "I'm going to put a 'G' under point number 99: Suave, Sophisticated and Debonair" (that was back when we got graded).

  And, he was very intelligent - we played Trivial Pursuit (his favorite game) - he got all the pieces, except Sports, on his first turn. He never watched sports so he never knew the answers.

  Snakes = Married

  by SnakesInTheTower in

  it has been over a month and a half since i have even been on the board, and that really only to ask about gps units (got a tom-tom) and mention the new job.

  way too busy with life - post jw now 4 years.. of course, the new job has benefits, health insurance, etc.

  (including unlimited use of the company car for personal use and the company pays for the unlimited gas for about a $25/week out of my check -- huge benefit) and this has enabled toni and i to finally after a two year engagement, to get married.

  i enjoyed this video, by an ex-jw.

  it reminds me of all the people that many of us had to leave behind to break free of the wt.

  i remain hopeful that many will continue to awaken and abandon the apocalyptic culture.

  The lady in the very first pic reminds me of Lorraine from "Back to the Future".
