JW ex-boss is such a horrid man!

by Julia Orwell in

ok, so my husband worked for this slave driver jw boss in a factory, and injured his back on the job.

so my husband has launched a compensation claim against the jw boss's worker insurance for unsafe work practices.

so the jw ex boss has responded to the claim with this mega statement affidavit thing.

First of all, jws usually aren't loving to anyone when it comes to money or liability. Second, if Canada is similar to the US, Worker's Comp will pay for on the job injuries unless the injured worker was under the influence of drugs or alcohol or if the employee was playing around or rough housing. His insults about our husband make him sound stupid. After all, if your husband was such a terrible employee, why wasn't he fired before he hurt his back?

in another thread, mouthy said she was "not well" and mentioned "kicking the bucket.

i believe she needs some encouragement and well wishes.. mouthy, you don't need to respond to this thread if you don't feel up to it.

just consider it an exceptionally long get-well card..

Feel better, and have fun on your outing!

I wanted to punch this elder so bad!

by OneDayillBeFree in

so i decided to attend the meeting last.

since i haven't gone in about 2 weeks, and i leave as soon as it ends, and elder decided to corner me at the end.

lately i've been through some very depressing family issues that are non-jw related so i haven't been my best at acting like i care about the org.

And oh he had made me very mad! I dropped my briefcase, clenched my fists and stared him dead in the eyes and asked, "who created my body?" To which he, taken aback replied "umm, Jehovah". "Okay" I said, "so in that body there's also a brain. Who gave me that brain?" Then the elder said, "um Jehovah." "And what's the main function of the brain?" Then the elder just stared blankly at me, and said "oh haha, I see what you're doing. You think you know a lot huh? But you don't my brother." So I said "if Jehovah tells us to do something, we obey correct?" "Correct!", he responded with another smirk. Almost mockingly. So then I said "what if Jehovah told you to think?" The elder's sly smirk went away. He just stood there. Speechless. Frozen. He had no answer.
At that point I grabbed my briefcase and as I headed for the door I said, "THINK ABOUT IT." And left.

Love, love, love your response! You are so smart for someone so young! I wish I would've been half as smart as you when I was your age. As for the depressing family issues, please don't let them fester. Talk to a counselor if you have to.

According to the article below, his last conviction was 10 years ago. And his ex-wife defended him by saying:

"Ok so for the record ppl do change and you shouldn't hold the past against someone," she wrote Wednesday. "The (main) thing is Charles Ramsey did a good deed and those girls are safe is that not the most important thing?"

MIL letter to my wife

by AggieNostic in

background: my wife and i are inactive, we stopped attending in 2005. raised as jws, were pioneers, i was elder etc... .

our kids are in college, also inactive but are baptised.

my wife went back to college, getting her degree this month at age 48!

I believe they truly dont want to shun us, but they are afraid that their god will punish them by not following the WT rules. Sad. We most likely will not respond to her letter and just keep doing what we have been - being there for them, love them unconditionally and at the same time - refuse to shun our siblings who are DF'd.

Before and after this update from you, my opinion is to send the following letter:

Dear Mom,

Love is kind and patient,
never jealous, boastful,
proud, or 5 rude.
Love isn't selfish
or quick tempered.
It doesn't keep a record
of wrongs that others do.
6 Love rejoices in the truth,
but not in evil.
7 Love is always supportive,
loyal, hopeful,
and trusting.
8 Love never fails!

Love,

Daughter

Witness Claims He Was Fired After Xmas

witness claims he was fired after xmas.http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/04/17/56756.htm.

Now the dub has unemployment for income, and a record of insubordination in the workplace. Nice going.

Wha Happened, there is no unemployment compensation in Ohio for people who are fired, unless it can be proven that the firing was unreasonable. For example, I've only been fired from one job. The reason was because my employer discovered that I was looking for another job closer to home. I was permitted to draw unemployment.
