Got an interview
by LouBelle inas some of you know, i had no job last year, then finally got something in an industry that i know nothing about.
the environment and people haven't been the best, but i had to stick it out and hope that things would improve.
i have kept my eye and ears open for opportunities more in my field of expertise - which is print advertising.. i sent through my cv for a job i saw advertised in the newspaper for an advertising sales rep - applied and now i have an interview to go too tomorrow.. i've learnt not to get my hopes up - i am glad for the interview and i hope it goes well..

congradulations on your interview!! my mom has had it hard finding a job. she is in her 50's now and was laid off from a company losing business about four years ago. i was getting scared for her at one point. but she pulled through, never finding a job in accounting but still it's a job and thank goodness it's just herself she has to look out for. i don't know your story or anything but hope you all the best!!

Commitee and disfellowshipment
by Freeof1914 ini have only posted on here several times, but i am constantly reading what others post.

i think i found a church
by unstopableravens ini really enjoyed church today, i have been visting serevel in the last few weeks, all the ones i have been to have been okay, but no more, but today i felt comfortable with everything i seen.
it seemed very doctrinally sound, christ centered and the big bonus i did not hear a word about money!
they did not pass a plate(i dont know if they do but today there was none).

I so need!!! to hear this right now!!! :) You all are smart... I need help. :( wish I found a church or some kind of support group. I wish I had more time on my hands... I have two babies and I just don't have time. It sucks sometimes... I can't avoid this feeling in my head forever... this questions. When I do focus on the now and see my babies I am greatful but there still is this big hole in me.

ha yeah arbolesdearabia, they can call names so easly but when it comes to calling them a cult they get so defiencive. you said their is no evidence the term applies to 'dissisent's of a man made organization', where do they get the term from and it's definision and what is the correct use of apostates.

After private messaging her about her post she sent this message to me on FB...
Thank you {my name} !!!! I truly appreciate you coming to me like this!!! Its why I am still friends with you . You are not using Facebook to hurt anyone but to talk with others that "get you" or " get what you are saying" .
{Our FB friend that is not baptised but was raised a JW I think I will have to ask her and see} has been malicious and actually lied about treatment against her from family and friends. Most JW friends of hers removed themselves as friends or she removed them. I mean its easy to see why. Gosh this why I'm friends with you I've known some of your family FOREVER lol I admit I've been warned but I told them you've never really posted things like she has . I think I remember one time a year ago or more about how you hated growing up about holidays and such. ME I've never understood this thing about holidays or birthdays. Still to this day not even for a religious reason I will not and are not going to do them. Religious I've done my research from a non witness way (they don't like it but oh we'll) I think Easter & Christmas is the holidays that disgust and bother me. The ONLY reason Christmas exists is basically Roman Catholics didn't want "bad people" having orgies under the new moon I think the new moon and it was made into a Christian holiday!!!! Now atheists take part in it THAT bothers me. WHY does getting together and giving each other gifts have to be called "Christmas " if it isn't about Jesus at all. Gosh I actually would just want to sit and talk with you like meet up let the big kids play and bebe's entertain us and just maybe talk about this stuff??? You and I both been disfellowshipped and I feel we know better at how each other feel unlike someone who wants attention asking for ones to say mean things on purpose . Why this person HAS to do it I do not know. But let's try to get together that is IF you want too? I wouldn't mind a drive to {where I use to live, I will have to let her know don't live there anymore} !!
