If you call you might want to have a script at hand or an outline of your points. Ask for someone in the legal dept. Skip any doctrinal disputes. To be denied a job based on religion and slandered is illegal. Maybe a letter would be better and see what happens. Do you have a lawyer? Perhaps the ACLU will go to bat for you. Contact them first. Good luck!!!

What are your Guilty Pleasures of a geeky/nerdy variety?
by Crumpet ini don't mean the ones we know about already - things people wouldn't think you did or enjoyed to look at you.. i love watching ray mears extreme survival and learning about how to survive and find food and shelter in extreme climates even though there is a strong possibility that i shall never try and escape naked from a japanese prisoner of war camp, or crash without a flagon of water into the sahara, or come stuck in my ship in a freezing ice plateau in deepest antartica.
.
what's your guilty geeky pleasure?.

Are You Having A Tough Time Making Ends Meet?
by minimus indo you believe we're in a recession?

Yes, had a couple of financial setback because of illness and caregiving which cost me my savings put me in debt and now I'm struggling to catch up. I'm hoping for one more year of living like I am jobless although I do work. I have to work more. More for less. It's been pretty cold here but I don't use my furnace. I have a wood burning stove.
I believe it is not only Bush but it started with Regan busting Unions to keep the profits in Corporate pockets. My union negotiated thru 60 yrs of bargining a very good health care program. This year the Co changed insurance handlers and said that it would be no different but would only be a change of administration. Well, believe them and bend over!!!! Higher premiums, higher deductables, (for chiropractic it is an 800.00 deductable) We work more time for less money. I don't know if I can catch up but I'm trying. When we let corporate america get the reins then we were screwed.
Trickle down economics was explained to me like this: The rich upper class needs things and services. We the lower ring of the tier provide these things and so the money filters down to us. Okay. Then the rich class can see how to make more with no trickle down...outsource. Entire industries are either eradicated or sent overseas. The Gov give tax incentive to the rich, rewards business for paying americans less money and moving their tax base to foreign countries. The Gov changes bankcrupsy laws to protect the overcharging credit card companies. Our president's oil buddies keep raising the price of oil that is catastrophically affecting the baseline operations of many companies. Result? More layoffs, more wage cuts but the CEOs are running to their offshore accounts with semitrucks full of money and benefits. Prices of everything is rising because of the transportation costs, energy costs etc. Groceries, heat, gas, oil. Water will be the next oil because it is being "privatized" from city to city. Basic infrastructres of electric grids, aging piping for sewers and water are not being kept up and because of flooding immigration and population growth can no longer keep up with basic needs.
Fake war, lying leaders, national backrupcy, China now owns us...even after poisoning our pets and our food supply.
Add to that you never thought you live to need social security because this system was soon passing away. Bad Combo.
The Credit Cards are worse than the mafia. It is out of control.
I wish there were Armegeddon I'm tired.
What we need is a "Jubulee Year" were all debts are forgiven. Now THAT would stimulate the economy like a big old enema.
So I guess the answer is "yes"

If You Were Wrong About The JWs, Maybe Your Current Beliefs Aren't True
by serotonin_wraith inif you're here, it's likely you were once fooled by what the jws believe.. back then, i expect you thought you were smart.
you thought you could tell if you were being lied to.
yet, they got past your mental defenses and sucked you in.. knowing this, how can you be sure your current religious beliefs are true?.

Well, I would like to believe in God. A God who makes as much sense as nature, or math, or music theory. I don't find it in ANY religious groups. I find very nice people who believe in some pretty fantastical stuff. I'm not getting any younger and I don't have time to wade thru the dump looking for bits and pieces of shreds of "truth". Isn't that the age old question "what is truth?" You might also ask, "What is reality". Everything is based on personal perception. I think that's how you create another religion. Expand on YOUR truth and YOUR reality and influence others to take that on as theirs and Voila! Another religion. We make our choices out of environment, nuturing and choice. If our environment and nurturing have been directed by other's choices (parental choice, culture, survival, exposure to very different thoughts/cultures etc) then we really aren't in a position to make a decision out of neutrality.

Were Adam and Eve the only humans created?
by heyfea inmy husband asked me a questions that kind of stumped me for a moment.
he asked, in genesis, when cain killed abel, and god, as punishment cursed him and drove him from the land, making him a restless wanderer, why did cain say to god that the punishment was too hard; that anyone who found him would kill him?
who was going to kill him?

Maybe there was a whole slew of daughters before Able and they just didn't count because they were women.

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character...
by digderidoo in...in all fiction:jealous and proud of it; petty, unjust, unforgiving, control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty, ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevent bully.
", says richard dawkins in the god delusion p51.
he goes on to say, "those of us schooled from infancy in his ways can become desensitized to their horror".. would you agree?.
