Declaring JW's a cult to co-workers

i am in a unique work situation which i won't describe because i am a fader.. let's just say that it's like vegas.

what happens (or is said) at work stays at work.. we are a fairly tight bunch.

some of my closest co-workers know my situation.

Myself and a co-worker who is also an ex-dub (and I'm trying to get posting here) have been educating a few people at our workplace. Telling them about the shunning & blood policies mostly. There's a few more people who are going to asking some very difficult questions next time they get that knock at the door!

Congratulations! Good to see others following the same path, I've enrolled in a on-line course, just a certificate 2 course. Just a basic business studies which I'm mostly using to help me get into a routine of studying. I'm hoping to maybe get into something arts/multimedia related next year.

Don't look back R.F!

if you heard [god] ask you to?

or would you.... 1. check to see if he told anyone else to build one, too.... 2. ask anyone else if they also heard him tell you.... 3. check with your family, friends... or religious leader... to see what you should do.... 4. worry that you're "gonna look crazy".... 5. worry that you are crazy.... 6. wait to see if it's going to rain.... 7. wait to see if it's going to flood.... 8. say "no".... 9. ignore the request... and say/do nothing.... i'm just askin'.

peace to you!.

brinjen

I always heard when you talk to God thats acceptable.
When he talks to you. You are crazy.
Either that or you are a teleevangalist.

Is there a difference?

Two blondes on a flight from Adelaide to Darwin

The plane has taken off as normal, everything is going well until they hear a sudden bang. They look out the window and see smoke pouring out of one of the engines. Just then, an announcement is made over the PA

"Ladies and gentlement, this is your captain speaking. We've experienced unexpected failure with one of our engines. Not to worry though, we still have three left. We will arrive at our destination 30 minutes late. That is all"

The blondes look at each other, shug it off and continue chatting.

A little while later, they hear another bang, look out the opposite window to see smoke pouring out of another engine. Again, there is an announcement on the PA.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain again. We seem to have lost a second engine. We still have two left. We will, however, be arriving at our destination one hour late now. We apologise for the inconvenience."

Again, the blondes look at each other, shug it off and continue chatting.

A while passes before they hear a third bang, they look out the window to see yet another engine smoking. Yet again, there is an announcement on the PA.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain again. We regret to inform you we have lost our third engine. Not to worry, our last one will get us to our destination safely. Unfortunately, this will put us one and a half hours behind schedule. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you and we thank you for flying with Dodgy Airways today."

By now the blondes are getting quite anxious. They just sit and stare each other for several minutes. One of them finally says

"What if that last engine fails?"

"Don't say that", says the other. "We'll be stuck up here all day!"
