  Help me set up my JW wife: What should I look for in a church?

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  i am a never baptized ubm.

  my jw wife is unhappy that i am looking for other churches.

  after careful thought and several conversations we have agreed not to treat each other from the assumption that improper motives are behind whatever either of us decide to believe.

  Lilacs...the purple ones are my favorite! Oh I love the way they smell...I cannot find any down here in TX...despite the fact that supposedly they can grow in this zone. I am going to order a few bushes and plant them and see if I can get something going down here. I really miss the smell.

  employees from hell

  by littlerockguy in

  how many are managers/supervisors and have to deal with one or two employees who are complete and udder nightmares, i.e.

  not staying in their desk, always behind, always a crisis and have to leave work, has a smart-ass attitude when counseling or cries when you tell them what they need to be doing?

  i have one that my boss hired as soon as i was promoted and i have to manage that employee and my boss knew about this person was when they was hired!!

  Sometimes you can spot a potential hell employee in the interview. I never hire anyone that is very negative about their previous employers, regardless of their experience. There are ways to polite articulate why you left a company without being an ass about it. Never hire anyone that blames others for their short comings...etc..etc...And...TRUST ME ON THIS!!! Never hire anyone that tries to convince you in the interview that the way you are doing things are wrong, and they can save you....hahah.

  I think sometimes employees from hell are created by management from hell. At least the weak ones, hahah. I have worked for a few boneheads...and really hated it when I was given responsibility for a project, but none of the authority needed to complete it. I was young and immature, and really let it effect my attitude. It took me a few years, probably my mid twenties, really to finally figure out that I couldn't let bad work enviroments, co-workers, bosses, etc., I couldn't let it allow me to be less than professional. I either had to find a way to make it work, or leave for greener pastures.

  It is sometimes possible to help employees from hell transition into good employees, but I wouldn't waste a great deal of time on it. If you reach out, and give them chances to work on projects to prove themselves, and they don't take it, they are not worthy of working for you. Fire their butts. There are a lot of good people out there that are ready to step up to the plate.

  The say having a job is a right in this country.Well, I feel everyone in this country has a right to apply and get fair treatment when being considered for employment. But a job is really a privilage. If you don't live up to your responsibilities, you don't deserve the job.

  Okay...it is late...time to put the soap box away.

  There are only 500,000 Scientologists in the world? Interesting...I thought in order to be a member in good standing in the Screen Actors Guild you had to sign up for Scientology.

  THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING OUT A WILL

  by Dansk in

  2. friends

  this morning claire and i saw our solicitor and finalised our wills, the originals being left in his care and keeping.

  i post this as a wake up call to anyone who hasn't yet made a last will and testament.. we have had to make sure that our two daughters, who are still active jws, receive absolutely nothing because we all know that part of anything they would receive would be donated to the society.

  that cannot be allowed to happen.

  How about this: is there any way that you could set up a trust for your daughters, where it specifically states that they are NOT allowed to give any of the money to the WTS? Is that possible?

  I pose the question not just for you, but for others that fear leaving money to their kids may line the WTS pockets.

  Interesting site. It is hard to reform a religion, though, when all those with ideas on reforming it will get tossed out.

  Oh well, sigh.

  If your cat demands track lighting over the litter box, then he may be gay. (just kidding heehee)

  We had this awesome very masculine kitty, and when we got him fixed, he seemed rather depressed for a while. But then he was back to his ol' scrappy self. Just wasn't as "built" as he was before he got fixed. He went from an AHHHNOLD kitty to a metrosexual kitty. But he was still a hoot. One thing that didn't change was the fact that he had an alter to worship him. He refused to be pet unless he was on the washing machine. Very odd...sometimes he would be sprawled on the couch, one of us would be scratching his belly, and all of a sudden he would get up and jump on the washing machine. He start to meow if you didn't get there quick enough to offer more scratching and petting.

  To my children: Yes, NOW you can use my computer.

  To my husband: I will meet you at the restaraunt at the end of the universe. But don't come too quickly."
