For an odd job that has a beginning and end, perhaps, but not as a full-time employee. Sorry to say that I have trust issues with many of the JWs that I know. Don't trust them as much as my worldly friends.

Would you hire a JW?
by MrFreeze intasked with hiring a new employee, iff you were looking through potential employee candidates and you were asked to pick one to hire, would knowing one is a jw put that candidate in a negative light?.

If you're happy with your decision to end your marriage the ring is inconsequential.

In-laws are here for my wifes District Convention
by SAHARA inas i've stated in my previous posts, i am not a jw but my wife is and it's that time of year when the conventions are going on.
my wife's parents and sister/husband live in az while we live in ca.
they haven't come to visit since i've had a little falling out with my inlaws last year about studying with my son by phone behind my back when normally we would visit each other at least 3 - 4 times/year each.

Did JWs use you to get their time in?
by truthseeker inthis has happened to me on more than one occasion.
a jw suddenly notices you at the hall and asks to work with you.
this continues for a while and then you are dropped.

Yes and when we forbade them (relatives) to preach to us, their visits greatly decreased. Their friends also started giving us the cold shoulder.

concerning "morality" in the congregation, did you ever think "how do we have the nerve to judge "worldley " people ?
by looloo inwhen i was a study , at first i was really impressed with the high morals in the congregation and how "happy "everyone seemed , i eventually fell for a pioneer and commited adultery , which i felt and was made to feel the most wicked woman in the world for .
(i am married to him now ) but after i left i found out just how much had really been going on in the cong , there was one brother who had been having an affair for 5 years with a sister (he was married ) he only got reprooved and she was disfellowshipped !
i found out lots of people who wed in the hall had already done the "deed" child abuse had not been reported etc domestic violence situations , all though i am not in a position to judge "wrong doing " myself im amazed that so many in the cong had the nerve to look down on church goers "immorality " or "worldly people considering what they knew had gone on in the kingdom hall !.

I'm not a JW, but have JW relatives and acquaintances in the org. It irks me whenever they insinuate that worldly people are all amoral. While I realize that anyone can make a mistake, I'm amazed at some of the low caliber people that my relatives associate with. People I wouldn't allow into my home, because I simply wouldn't trust them. Over the course of many years, I've also observed some behavior that doesn't live up to their self image and yet they are so quick to judge anyone who isn't a JW.

Yes, I find it funny that some JWs believe that we worldly people are all so amoral. And, when they try so hard to impress us with their good example, it can be hard to keep a straight face

Baby Girl: Wishing you a speedy recovery. I read your post with great interest and when I read the part where your mother told you to elope, it broke my heart and I cried for you, your family and especially your mother. She wants you to be happy and yet she can't be a part of your wedding. That's heart breaking and I curse the JW religion. I just can't imagine missing such an important day in my daughter's life for anyone or anything. Be happy and don't go back to the cult.
