I was once in a job where my passive aggressive boss made me feel so bad I knew I had to leave. I knew I was good at what I did but went home constantly feeling whatever I did was not good enough. Sometimes you are so deep in a situation you think there is no solution and you start losing your self esteeem. If you are feeling so low where you are then you need to leave before the job drives you insane. Other people will appreciate you and value you. So long as you have a strategy and a plan to move things forward and can cope in the short term between jobs you will be better off in the long term.

Good Info for people that might get cancer

Cancer is not one disease it is many and chances of surviving are based on a wide range of factors. It is very dangerous to suggest that because one person survived by eating nuts and drinking organic soya milk that this is the cure for everyone. If it was really that easy then thousands of people who follow strict diets would all survive and doctors would be using it as a treatment. Charities who are dedicated to fighting cancer and finding cures would insist on it. The truth is people still die whatever they eat although some very lucky people survive, they would also have survived if they followed conventional treatment. People survive following conventional treatments although for some it is not enough and they would still have died if they ate an organic diet.
A persons treatment plan is as individual as the cancer they are fighting and I would trust my life to those with years of experience treating it rather than some random person who was also extremely lucky.

Elder left a calling card - what's with that?
by Julia Orwell inhe called me a week or two ago offering 'assistance' and told me he'd pop by some time with 'a packet of biscuits' and i told him to ring before he came so as not to show up unannounced.
we went out yesterday, and this morning i find a little business card-sized calling card obviously printed up on ms word and cut with scissors.
on it is printed, "sorry i missed you," and has his name and number, and the scripture from romans saying something about an interchange of encouragement.. pretty inoccuous right?

It is stressful because it shows a complete disrespect for your thoughts, feelings and expressed wishes. It means that they can and will visit unannounced and that they are in control of when they turn up at your house and not you. It is basically an effort to reassert their authority however clumsy.
However that being said your home is your home and if they turn up announced then state that further visits are unwelcome unless they are expressly invited since they have not respected your wishes. You are aware of their concern and know where they are so will contact them if you have need of their assistance and encouragement. Then say goodbye and shut the door. How polite you choose to be will depend on you and your circumstances. They only have the power over them we choose to give them.

Disgusted with JW Funeral Today!
by time2keepmoving inmy son grew up with one of the young brothers in the kingdom and after graduation both him and my son left the kh.
the young man who left the hall fell into the wrong crowd and i mean a really dangerous crowd and as a result of him getting involved in illegal activity he was murdered.
i really feel for this young man, because he was a decent kid.

I went to my uncle's funeral this week, my first non JW funeral since leaving. I have attended many JW funerals and was often dismayed at how little respect was given to the deceased. In contrast my Uncle's funeral service was truly moving and my Dad gave a lovely eulogy in which he described the day his brother was born and their early life together. He talked about how close they were and how truly special he was and how much he meant to him. The vicar was sensitive to the family and the hymns were appropriate, uplifting and moving.
The best bit was meeting all my great cousins and extended family, and reminising about my Uncle and feeling how much they wanted to be there for him and my Dad. We all had a small wake with tea, sandwiches and cake and just talked. Funnily enough it was the first time the funeral service served a purpose and was cathartic we felt my Uncle had a good send off, we were there for him. We all had a chance to say goodbye and feel the loss and accept that there was nothing more we could do for him in this life.
No JWs were in attendance

Trying to handle my JW mom
by KatyMomof2 inmy mom is a recent widow.
she, being a jw does not have means to support herself and does not seek higher education ( because that would take from her studies ).
so, she is living ( sponging off of ) me.

Your mum is an adult and as such must bear a degree of responsibility for herself. Unless you are extremly wealthy you cannot sustain keeping her indefinitely and she needs to make some effort to pay her way. She needs to know what she is entitled to and she also needs to know how to earn her own money. Studying is what you do between work and chores if she wants to study full time she can become a nun. It sounds harsh but if anything were to happen to you she would not have the life skills to cope.
On the other issue she has the right to believe whatever she likes but she does not have the right to terrify your children. As a JW she thinks she is teaching them the truth and will not be able to help herself. You can explain to your children that people believe in many strange things and granny too has some funny ideas. Sadly some can be a little scary so if granny tries to talk about religion then say I'm sorry but that is not something I want to talk about. Reinforce to your mother that religion is off limits and remind her that to continue to live together she needs to respect your wishes.
I would investigate housing in any case and look if there is any alternative accommodation and move her towards the goal of independent living if this is achievable otherwise there is a distinct possibility that your current arrangement will crash and burn.

How was it possible for Adam to name All the animals in one day?
by jam insome have argued, genesis 1:24 bring forth the living.
creature according to it,s kind.
so this will cut down on the.

As it is a story and not fact Adam could have done anything he wanted. The genesis account is vague as to the animals that were created and certainly there is no record of Adam going out to sea to name the great sea creatures so it is just a device to move the story on.
After all if Adam named the animals why did people have to invent names when they discovered new ones?

Has the feared and much anticipated,'Jehovah Witness Great Tribulation', now started in earnest during this year of 2013?
by Sol Reform inthe watchtower states that the great tribulation.... will start when the united nations attacks babylon the great.
it appears individual states of the usa are starting to get that ball rolling right now.. .
with the world wide child sexual abuse cover-ups across the globe getting special attention from the media.. legislators across the usa seem to have lost the fear of getting the nod of disapproval of 'clergy', especially from the younger members.. law professor marci a. hamilton writes, "across the country, the movement for justice for child-sex-abuse victims is finding that conversations that used to begin with a discussion of the catholic bishops' opposition (and then often ended abruptly) are now started by a member's saying, "they don't deserve deference on this issue.

If a crack down on child abuses is seen as a sign that the fall of Babylon the great then why are jws so gleeful. They are being dragged through the courts in the USA and Australia and their own failings are being exposed along with their arrogance to do nothing. They are as corrupt as all the rest and worse than some.
