  What Do You Do for Work / Career?

  by BlackPearl in

  2. friends

  i've been on the board for quite a while now and was wondering, what do my fellow jwdr's do for work, employment or career?

  me, i'm in probably one of the most hated careers in america right now.

  (not gonna tell you what it is either) but how about you, what do you do to earn a little coin?.

  Nothing, currently.

  My sister in law wants to turn her current job of book keeping over to me. So hopefully that will work out.

  I can't wait to start working again, I hate being stuck at home!

  Are You Happy With What you've discovered in Life After being a JW ?

  my life personally has taken a much more positive turn after leaving the religion.

  less stress to be having nights taken up with meetings droning on.

  lots more time for reading new things on life, hobbies, trips to take, i enjoy cooking for my wife.

  Yes. Finding friends who will stick by you is amazing. Especially after my grandmother told my husband, that we were not welcome at her house unless I went back to meetings. I've found friends who are closer to me then my own family. And my marriage to my "unbelieving" husband is a very happy one.

  As a JW were you ever counseled about clothes you wore, or lack thereof ?

  thought this could get interesting discussing experiences.

  i for one was trying to reach out for ministerial servant again in the early 90's , had been one before, and was assigned to carry the microphones one meeting.

  had an elder call me in the back room and say , " brother flipper, i noticed looking down towards your shoes that you are wearing white socks today.

  When I was a teen, other moms in the congregation were not happy that I was wearing makeup, since they wouldn't allow their own daughters to wear it. Of course the other girls would bug their moms about how I was wearing it, so why couldn't they? So my own mom had to hear these comments. She didn't make me stop wearing it though.

  The Wizard. It's that movie from the 80's about 3 kids that travel to California to compete in a video game competion.

  I actually took a road trip from Florida to California, just so I could see those dinos Jimmie was obsessed with. I also went to eat at the Wheel Inn (which is right next door), because there is a scene from Pee Wee's Big Adventure that was shot there.

  I feel silly now.

  anyone else go today (long beach, ca)?.

  goddamn, mind-numbing is an understatement.. anyway, it was really weird hearing all the drones talk about jesus so much, but of course, at the end of the day, their hidden agenda wasn't so hidden anymore.

  follow jesus=follow a group of geezers in new york that leech off you.

  also, i was really hoping that the elvis apostate would be there, but there was just a plain apostate. Oh well.

  I have had a really crappy day. That line just made me smile.
