Never Hire A Jehovah's Witness!
by Kent inif you are an employer, never hire a jehovah's witness.
the reason for this is simple: that mistake may cost you a lot of money!
you can bot expect a jehovah's witness to do what they are told to do, but you can expect them to do the oposite!

Thanks Betterdaze. I was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking, there's not much about this religion that's changed in over 200 years.

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle New York. Tuesday November 9, 1909, page 11
James Sullivan, a tall, fifteen year-old boy, plead not guilty to being a juvenile delinquent before Judge O'Keefe in the Children's Court yesterday. The real charge against the boy is that he has too much of a hankering after personal liberty for the son of a missionary of Pastor Russell, Watch Tower Tract and Bible Society. Last year James was at ?? Adventist school the Fox River Academy at Sheridan Ill. but he left a little before the official commencement. To forestall any renewed enrollment at the school this year, he came to Brooklyn about a month ago to see his sisters.
That, he now feels, was a foolish move, for his sisters are both employed by the Watchtower Tract Society here in Brooklyn, and with the husband of one are members of the Pastor's brotherhood family at 124 Columbia Heights.
The father is a travelling preacher for the society out on the Pacific coast. The boy's mother is dead and the sisters are only half sisters but for all that the boy was well received and set to work. That, and the frequent prayer meetings he was forced to attend both at the house at 124 Columbia Heights, were too much for the boy, so he fled to Philadelphia but came back to Brooklyn Sunday afternoon and was arrested. The sisters want to send him to a reform school where he cannot run away any more. He hopes to appeal to his father before he gets sent away.

2) Can a bacteria based on arsenic, or some other element, evolve into a higher life form? If so, what would it look like / act like / be like?
According to this website, the resulting life form could be very...funny!
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/abraham/detail?entry_id=78240
For humans, arsenic pollution in groundwater has been a major problem. While a naturally occurring element, Arsenic can cause cancer in humans and "cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurological effects" according to the National Research Council. Moreover, Arsenic is found in cities and areas with smog and industrial emissions, and Mono Lake, which as far back as 2006 and beyond, has been noted for its air pollution problems.
Which brings us to Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster and the idea that we're a giant step closer to science fiction as fact.
Hedorah, or The Smog Monster, is a fictional character in the 1971 movie Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster. The Smog Monster grew from "microscopic tadpole-like organisms which began to feed upon the toxins with which mankind had poisoned its air and water."
A toxin like arsenic?
At any rate, the Wikipedia description of Hedorah gives a view of The Smog Monster's powers and abilities:
...Hedorah is capable of assuming a number of different shapes to suit the particular situation. For traveling through water, Hedorah transformed into a giant tadpole monster similar to the base organism that composed it. For traveling on land, Hedorah became a four-legged pile of slime resembling a gigantic salamander and it also could assume a saucer-like shape which granted it flight capabilities. After being driven back by Godzilla several times, Hedorah assumed a gigantic humanoid shape that even dwarfed the king of the monsters. Thanks to the protean nature of its body, ordinary weapons passed right through Hedorah while even Godzilla's atomic ray was unable to inflict any lasting harm. Finally, since Hedorah fed on pollution, so long as a piece of it remained alive then Hedorah could retreat to absorb more pollution in order to regenerate itself.
So, a possibility long considered to be far-fetched now has to be reconsidered. What, with respect to humans on Earth, is the possible logical conclusion of this new discovery? If a microorganism can exist feeding off a toxic chemical found in smog, what about another organism?
In other words, beyond life from other planets, what kind of new life are we causing to be created right here on Earth? Life that apparently exists from those chemicals which can kill people.
Stay tuned.

Is there anything in the article that states this guy, Frantisek Vyskocil, ever became a JW? The reason I ask is the article only uses the word "Jehovah" once, when he said he talked to one who was a pharmacologist. This seems weird to me coming from a WT magazine.
Wikipedia doesn't say anything about him being a JW (not that is the end all be all authority).
