Daniel Tosh and Jim Gaffigan are current faves. Me and my girlfriend watched King Baby a couple of months ago and we were both in tears laughing. I agree with previous poster regarding Chappelle, he was (is?) simply the best.

Work Related: Am I correct for being angry?
by Elsewhere inmy manager expects (never directly ordered me), but expects me to have my work laptop booted up at home every evening after work, all weekend long and every holiday so i can monitor my email and promptly respond to emails.. .
am i wrong for being pissed off about this?.
the company i work for is always talking about their "work life balance" program for employees.

There's a fresh crop of India Indians waiting anxiously to do your job for pennies on the dollar. Not everything can be outsourced of course, but it seems to me that the modern deal with IT is, unfortunately, 50 hours on a good week, 90 hours on a crazy one, with stress like you wouldn't believe, deal with it or else we'll replace you with a couple of Indians.
That said, I'd kill for your job. I'm a bit late to the IT party but I write some pretty mean SQL (I'm constantly being bombarded with requests for various reports and the like) and am pretty indispensable to my current department, but the real IT department whose management I can't quite seem to win over won't let me in. It's got me very sad. I would be such a good damn business analyst or quality assurance analyst. But alas I remain a 39 year-old hourly shmuck just barely above being an order entry clerk. fml

Going to skip this years Memorial for the first time.
by Beta Male ini'm already being stalked by the elders, thanks to my wife.
they had a "shepherding call" for three hours while waiting for me to come back to my house.
if they're that determined, i'm somewhat concerned about their reaction to what i'm going to do.

I don't know your full situation, but I'd say, just lie to them. Lie through your teeth. Yes you believe it's the truth (really you don't). Yes you believe in the faithful slave (really you don't). Yes you recognize the importance of christian fellowship (really you can hardly bear the meetings). You're really going to make an effort to start attending meetings (a stalling tactic that can go on as long as you'd like). You'd like to work with one of them in field service sometime (make an appontment for a specific day, then cancel last second). A home bible study? Sure! Come to my house on Tuesday (more last minute cancellations).
The elders are only human, and they'll get tired of chasing you. Some of them probably resent the degree to which they're expected to probe into people's private lives, and chase after them to go door-to-door selling corny, irrelevant, and often just plain weird literature offerings.

To what degree due you think "Internet killed the "Jehovah's Witness" radio star."
by Witness 007 ini remember getting my first crapy computer for $200 bucks and clicking on the internet for the first time....i said to myself: "i may just look up my jehovah's witness brothers on here.....free minds watching the watchtower hmmm .
so the nails in my faith coffin began to be hammered in rip.
so how big an influence was the net in your leaving?.

The internet is making people smarter.
Because of this and a zillion other reasons, the WTS will continue to slide into ever deeper irrelevance. If that's even possible.

Sitting on the Fence....to believe or not to believe, that is my dilemma.
by tootie ini was raised by a "strong" jw single mother.
she was very very strict but i loved her then and always will.
after the death of my mother i waivered back and forth with my spirituality only because this was my first chance of "freedom" and being in the world to do things that i never really got to do.

The fact that you don't dare let it be known among your JW acquaintances that you visit "other religious organizations" is something that you might ponder. Why does the organization insist so vehemently on absolute loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, LOYALTY? That's what got to me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell, there are no privacy settings on facebook that will allow you hide your fan pages and group memberships from people on your friends list. I'd let the facebook 'poztate groups go if you're trying to keep your apostatey-ness private.

Did You "Linger" On As Witness Hoping That All The Pieces Would Fit?
by minimus inblueblades/mall cop said in a post that he was "lingering" on as a jw for decades hoping to understand things about the "truth" that were still unexplainable.
(my words, paraphrasing).. i did the same thing for probably a decade, either hoping things in the organization might change or i might finally "get it", regarding some teaching or viewpoint that just seemed to make no sense.. did you hang on to the "truth" much longer than you should have?.

Yeah, i kept hoping that one day i'd somehow "get it" and become an in-the-in-crowd super-JW. You know, the kind that they interview at conventions to make everyone else feel like shit.
I never was a big doctrine guy, so it wasn't "teaching" pieces that kept me hanging around after things started to smell funny, although that certainly was part of it. What I really, really wanted was to land one of those countless young-and-beautifuls that you see at the conventions. Yep that's what kept me lingering on, lol.
