  ..on my head.

  in some small way i think i understand one reason for shaving new recruits or prisoners.

  as i did it i felt sick in my stomach and it felt like i was losing some of my personality.

  Things I have learned being a buzzed lady:

  1- I can't shower with the same heat I like

  2- The wind is noticed more

  3- rain feels quite strange

  4- I dry off quickly

  5- STUPID PEOPLE STARE AT ME

  6- it grows back

  well I did the shave not to give my hair but to support a Great Friend of mine that had cancer for the third time. I know as a JW I would have been called into the back room. As a non JW got most and lots of love and support

  Minumim wage may go to $10 per hour...

  by darthfader in

  1. social
  2. current

  i understand the reasons for the desire to raise the minimum wage, but as a small business owner, i'll have to raise prices to keep my margins profitable.

  a 30% hit is pretty substantial.. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/07/business/bill-pushes-for-increase-in-wages.html.

  I hate to say it but there are too many people that are just not worth 10 an hour.

  Like many have said. Your feelings are real and understandable. I must say I had the same ones once or twice when I first left. My life fell 100% apart. These are real feelings that were forced down our brains. This too will pass and you will see a beautiful life on the other side.

  You do need suport but are they who you need? Are they there for you now? A real friend loves you even if you are of a different religion. You are not going to stop bad things from happening by going back. I'm sorry for the pain you have had this year. Try to reach out to people in your area that can be of help.

  Peace and love to youFS

  I have decided to become rich...and have told all my JW employees...and this really rambles otwo!

  by oompa in

  2. friends

  well its been a few years since my two oldest and key employees/inlaws testified against me for actually doing interesting and thorough research about things i had legitimate questions about....and was foolish or wise enough to share it with my friends and family lmao!

  and its been over a year since i was read out as a da apostate...(and kinda vocal about it so i am pretty much the anti-christ poster child around here).... maybe it is another thread but i cant believe these guys have not quit and they said they might due to bad conscience and pressure from elders/others...we are talking 10 to 20+ year employees and one husband wife team in that group...but also an elders wife part time of only a few years (all of whom i still love btw)...a superfine pioneer and her ms husband who is mr big in rbc stuff...and most have zero retirement except for what i have funded the past 12 years...i have had a pretty good business for a long time with never any real goal of making a lot of money because that was for sure a forbidden goal...and i did not want to look materialistic lmao!!!!!!.

  but now with concerns about forever funding my own health care insurance as i always have, and losing half my assets in divorce and paying alimony for the next decade...it dawned on me that i can and should focus on growing the heck out of my biz as i think me and all my employees are gonna need a lot more money than they now have... if we want to stay in the usa anyway.... so i had a meeting and told everone there was a reason for our recent growth...and why for the first time in my life i am actually excited about it getting huge instead of being afraid of that...and how for personal reasons i never really thought about the need for a big retirement fund or saving for heath care at all until my late thirties probably...but that i have decided i am going to make a bunch more money now and am focusing on that for the first time ever...and that they need to make a bunch more money too believe it or not...now they have been very excited and into their jobs and how well they are doing them...so i shared my plans with them and said they can all stay on board and enjoy the fruits of our own hard labors...or they can get the hell off the bus...nobody has turned in their notice.

  I miss cleaning some days. As many JW's right out of HS to pioneer and clean. Did houses, offices, windows, stripped and waxed floors.... I may pick up a house or two once we figure out where to live... hourly much better then nursing and less poop to clean
