  you know it's time to get a new job when.... your boss gushes about how much she and everyone appreciates all your hard work and support but doesn't train you with new skills, and it's been over a year since you started.. no new skills, no raise, no promotion, just empty promises of yes!

  sometime in the future.

  there oughta be a category for occupations..

  Dove, dear, don't get me wrong....I empathize with you. Have been in your position for 5 years (and I am talking 2001-2006) when jobs were plentiful and I could (should) have jumped ship. Only when I was forced to be on the other side of the fence did I see all the things that go on behind the curtains of a small business.

  But as I opened my previous post, I don't know the particulars and if it is time to change gears, it is time to change gears. Wish you the best of luck in the job search!

  Don't know your particular situations, but there is that recession thingy with high unemployment out there......

  Business owners are not necessarily raking the big bucks either. There are always two sides to a story; try to put yourself in the shoes of he man (woman) who signs your paycheck...

  so, lets speak hypothetically here.

  lets say the wt is right about paradise earth and the new world.

  if we did live forever, what would happen if we fell off a cliff accidentally?

  My indoctrinator.....ahem, study conductor said we won't be falling or getting into accidents because, since we'll be perfect, our senses will be so much more perceptive.

  I never bought it, but he did his part I guess, whether he believed it or not.....

  Religious Reform

  by Maze in

  as a bible based organization, how do feel jehovah's organization should be reformed?

  the answer is quite simple in christendoms churches:.

  1. reject false doctrines like the trinity and 'all christians go to heaven' and use of images in worship.. .

  US Boys Scouts and the LDS Church conspired to cover up child abuse

  Bzzzzzzz.

  Logical Fallacy - Tu quoque.

  The fact that someone else had committed the same crime does not make the crime committed by the WTBS any less of a crime.

  All throughout human history, Jehovah has had a visible organization on earth to represent his interests.

  ...and in, say 1840, that organization was?

  Help me ID the Logical Fallacy, Please!

  by Yan Bibiyan in

  1. watchtower

  spoke to a friend of mrs. - a fairly involved sister - and asked the question:.

  "circa 1850, small town usa, i am somewhat of a sinner - no murderer or anything, but could live a more productive life - one day i have a vision that my ways are wrong and the only way to redeem myself is to serve the only true god.. which organization do i join, which bible do i read and who provides my timely spiritual food?.

  her answer - "well we can't be sure, but we shouldn't doubt jehovah had provided for the faithful christians through his holy spirit".. this seems like two fallacies into one answer - it looks like a red herring, because she sidestepped the issue, and it also looks like a straw man, because i didn't doubt jehovah, i doubted the wt's "always had an org" story.. so is it a red herring, straw man or maybe red man or straw herring, since it's a combo.

  There's also the erroneous assumption in the question that to find God you need to find the right organization to join...

  ...well, an assumption put forward by the WTBS itself....in the eyes of a JW, it should make the question that more legit.

  As someone who knows a bit about ethernet cables, I can tell you the bend radius of this patch cable does not conform to the manufacturer's and industry standards.

  Thus, by extension, the illustration is invalid
