Ages ago, these four or five witness guys go to a rock concert and had consumed a fair amount of whiskey. On their way home they stop at a burger joint and still plenty wasted are getting loud and obnoxious - hard to imagine huh? Anyway, the funny part is when one of the guys starts singing at the top of his lungs, "We're Jehovah's Witnesses. We speak out in fear-less-ness..." I'm sure you all know it. :) Soon the whole group were singing loudly while the other customers looked on in horror!
I just find that hilarious. Unbelievably hilarious in fact. :)

Untolerable, Unheard of and down right Unbelievable experiences
by REBORNAGAIN inhas anyone experienced something really outrageous among the jw's that you want to share?.
we once had a couple of jw's follow us (policeing us) as we were on our way to my (then, he's now my ex) husband's boss's home.
his boss wanted us over for an end of the year party and didn't consider it a christmas party because he knew we didn't celebrate christmas.

Rate Yourself Regarding Your Personality & Popularity
by minimus inhow would you rate yourself?
do you have a magnetic personality?
does everyone want to invite you to their party??

Do you have a magnetic personality? Nope, not since that Degaussing accident.
Does everyone want to invite you to their party?? I can't remember ever being invited to a party. So I'm going to have to go with nope.
Are you a loner? It's turned out that way. People want me around when their computers are broken. That's about it.
Is it hard for you to make friends? What's a fri...frie...friend?
Do you think you'd be greatly missed if you no longer were around??? Only when those computers crash. -

Finally got a call from a case manager. He says they are shipping me a new upgraded computer...in 10 to 14 days. Good Grief. It won't be a Compaq but rather a good ol' comparable HP. whaaaaaaaaa. Whatever, I just want this ordeal over with so I can go on to the next ordeal.
Just wanted to end rant and perhaps kill this thread off. Thanks for the tips/tricks & advice. Sorry for the trouble any of you might be having dealing with this type of thing too...now or in the future. -

Shawn Hannidy and the CD on pedophiles by Barbara Anderson
by oompa ini had an idea today while listening to the radio.
i know many people have been "awakened" in a sense by discovering the problems in the org about pedophiles and how it has been covered up.
i knew nothing at all about it when i first came here.

I'm not that much a Sean Hannity fan either but I think it's worth a try. I was talking with my sister - not a jw - just a little while ago and mentioned the out of court settlements that of course she never heard of. She asked me how come no one tries to get this publicized. I told her there are people doing just that but that the public and media just see the WT as a goofy little group and don't pay much attention to them. Not even in this respect.
If it is pushed on the media constantly maybe someone will take notice. You'd think that Dateline would want to do a follow-up show but maybe they don't see ratings in it. -

At least I am not the only one that has had these sort of problems - bad thing really. I'll have to save worldtraveller's comments for future reference. In this particular case however, it is a laptop and there are apparently issues with the motherboard itself. It failed to boot period and they say they are waiting on back ordered parts. hmmm. Send me a NEW computer is the way to resolve this I say.
As far as Dell goes, that is all we have at work and I don't have such a high opinion of them. My boss is the unfortunate one that has on occasion had to deal with the Tech Support for hours on end. I prefer to google the problem and find quick real world solutions from others that have had the problem before me.
I need to break down and get XP pro for my newly built computer so I can get started doing some video editing - Premiere/After Effects incompatible with Vista. Photoshop and Illustrator are ready to run in about 5 seconds - as opposed to 30 to 45 seconds on the P4 Dell at work - so I think this machine will fly once I get it set up correctly. Very seriously considering going to Mac though. People I know that have them absolutely love the things. Not so the PC world.
Anyways, still waiting for the HP caseworker - more appropriate than case manager I think - to call. Unbelievably horrible company. That's all I have to say about that. For now. ;) -

At work we have a couple of HP printers - older ones. I hate them too! Slow as can be even when they were new. A couple of scanners...hate 'em! The software that came with each is useless and the things just plain do not work. The laser printer is the only piece of HP equipment that seems to actually work as it should.
I have another laptop, off brand, cheap. No problems with it. It has been my workhorse for awhile but it's showing it's age and the new cat has attacked it a few times ripping off 1 key so far and scratched the screen. Playful little so and so. I've got an old emachine desktop that needs some attention but is pretty reliable. Then there's the desktop I just built for graphics. Core Duo, SATA, decent graphics card for what I need but I stupidly bought Vista to put on it instead of XP pro. Now some of my graphics programs it turns out are incompatible with Vista. It's always something. Other than that, I have a couple of other computers loaned out to family. So, it's not like I HAVE to have it and hence my patience but enough is too much.
Any new desktops I'll build myself. Is it as common to DIY a new laptop? I can insert tab x into slot y till the cows - formerly gateway - come home but I CANNOT DEAL WITH CUSTOMER DIS-SERVICE!!!!
sorry for that last bit of yelling :) -

How many of you have had to send a computer in for repairs? Did you have to wait almost THREE #$@!@##$% MONTHS to even get any sort of corre-frigging-spondence started?!? I've been WAY more than patient and still keep getting the runaround.
I have for years avoided HP like the plague that it is. Won't even by a package of their paper! lol
Unbeknownst to me, Compaq was bought out by HP so when I gave in and bought this laptop I should have researched better. I was lax. But the levels of imbiciliocity you must deal with in these companies is amazing.
First you have to deal with the gauntlet of Indian telephone handlers that can be VERY hard to understand.
Then you get handed off to the next level of information takers so you can repeat everything you just told the first person. After that, if you don't get "cut off accidentally", you can talk to someone you can understand reasonably well but that still is not about to be of any help to you. Their job is to take some more information and see if they can give you some BS reason that they can do nothing about the problem but if you hold for just FIVE more minutes they'll see if they can put you in touch with someone that can put you in touch with someone that can get back with you in oh, the next three days?!?!? and then they can authorize, at their discretion of course, to see if your case has been in the queue long enough to warrant them giving it the "deserved" attention.
Then of course I'm sure that the info must be passed along to somewhere in the deep dark recesses of the hell hole that is Hewlett Packard - customer satisfaction service to those who are willing to wait an eternity department.
Do I sound a little out of sorts perhaps? Well, I can certainly see the humor in this scenario from an onlookers perspective, but once in the queue it ceases to be the light hearted adventure it appears.
I am inclined to say that they can take the computer and stick it where the sun does not shine but it appears that they did THAT as soon as they received it and now they cannot locate it!!!
