there's a jw 'sister' at work, lovely girl in her mid twenties.
anyway, on monday the union (cwu) called a one day strike in support of colleagues and all union members supported the action as far as i'm aware, except the sister.. she claimed it was 'against her religion' to strike.
bare in mind, she's a fee paying member of the union.. now, a few of my workmates know of my past and asked me if this was really true, that jehovah's witnesses aren't allowed to strike.. we'll, i like this girl and i didn't want to make her look silly but what was i supposed to say after i stopped laughing?
Actually scratch that, thinking about it again (and it was a long while ago) it was the automatic part of the fee that went to the Labour party that I opted out of not the CWU membership itself, so chances are you are absolutely correct in your assumption.
(Backs away slowly from the thread and hopes no one notices....)

How do you know she's a fee paying member of the CWU, when I was a JW postman many years ago I opted out of the contribution as was my right.
i'm currently cleaning up our bookcase and need to decide what goes into the trash.
i'll keep the watchtower books that are not available online anymore (e.g.
the brown "reasoning" book).
Nothing at all, eventually burned my briefcase which had been sitting in an old car for 3 years with meeting stuff in it and everything else i could lay my hands on of mine that was watchtard related.
last month i got caught by my wife after a late night out with her (and some drinks).
i guess i am evil.. just wondering if anyone else has had this misfortune.. rub a dub.
Yes and if you have a semi on it's the best place to do it.
i just recently stopped attending.
i keep getting messages, emails, texts and voice mails asking if i'm ok. they all say the exact same thing.
it's creepy and a bit scary.
Dont reply any more, but save or print out the messages in case it doesnt stop or escalates so if you need to take it to police etc you have a record of the harassment.
i just watched the live feed from the russian court room and followed the updates on the russian exjw forum.. just waiting for confirmation from other sources...but, it looks like the final (and expected) result is:.
banned.
which means that the wts property in russia now belongs to the russian state..
This ban pleases me.
mrs phizzy and myself will be eating out, sure in the knowledge we will not have jw's using the same restaurant.. i may have a cigar along with my brandy at the meal's end to celebrate my (our) freedom..

i salute you.
many of you, like me, are probably under enormous emotional pressure, whether from a lingering false sense of guilt from your indoctrination, whether from "invitations," and assumptions that you'll naturally be coming, or whether from outright emotional blackmail, even begging and pleading.
i am thinking of you whoever you are, all of you, even though i don't know you in person.
This year, crickets....
No one in my family has asked, no one has come around asking, a total non event, not that I am complaining. Mind you there is still the remains of today for someone to come ruin that in.
this is the kind of government you are supporting.. over 100 gay men have been sent to concentration camps for homosexuals in chechnya and three people have been killed.. stop supporting fascism.. if you support the russia jw ban, what other thoughts and beliefs are you ok with policing?.
if you support the jw russia ban, have you read george orwell's 1984?
don't you realize you are advocating for literal fascism when you support the banning of a belief system?
Cappytan is back!
what is it with this pair?
why do they have to constantly have a bitch about guys like john cedars?
a very recent video of them shows them calling him a 'village idiot' and making other disparaging claims.
Rummage thru his posting history if you need to see him in action: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/users/47037/cedars
I havent bothered but assume it is mostly all still there. Dont get me wrong, he does some excellent work, but his time on here he really was quite shitty.
