So sorry, this really sucks. I remember some of your posts, even if they can back this up a hundred ways, there is still more than a modicum of impropriety that needs to be accounted for and that you deserve to be compensated for. Wait 'til you have your new job. Then sue them. Check timelines in your state, there may be a really short statute of limitations, if it is handled administratively rather than in the judicial system....do have a quick chat with a lawyer so you will at least know what your options are. But wait til you have your new job. It will come fast, I'm sure of it. Shoshana

What Did You Find To Be The Most Confusing Belief Of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by minimus injehovah's witnesses certainly have some unique beliefs and some are very, very confusing.
anything that you never quite understood?

I found that they called mere attendance at hundreds of hours of sales training meetings worship, and that those that sold the most were the most spiritual. Uh-whatever. Shoshana

I daydreamed through thousnd of hours of meetings and assemblies. Because of that I have a very well-developed imagination. I can slip into daydream mode and keep myself entertained through any needless staff meeting now. Because of those daydreams, I often am able to mentally remove myself from uncomfortable or painful situations. That's a pretty cool hidden talent I developed.

I met a guy Sunday. There's definitely chemistry. And we really hit it off. I'm keeping it to myself for now. But, it feels pretty good to be smitten. I haven't been smitten in quite awhile. I can hardly wait 'til our date next weekend (He called before I even got a chance to get home). Shoshana

I knew a couple of teenaged-home-schooled-pioneers a bit younger than me that would tell stay home "sick" from the meetings, then hook up while everyone was at the meeting and out of the way. One of them told me about it a few years later. I really don't remember if they did ever get caught because I was out by then. But I was moderately impressed with their scheme. It had flaws, but it was still clever. Shoshana

It just doesn't add up
by micheal in.
was there any particular event, teaching, experience where it all came together for you when you really questioned the "truth", or believed it wasn't it couldn't be god's organization?.
when did you realize and say to yourself, this just doesn't add up?

Shortly after I had gotten baptized, I was in the post office, picking up the mail for my father's business. I was in a side alcove and saw the P.O. walking in to pick up his mail (we ran into each other frequently around the center of our little town. His office was just a block from my dad's). Anyway, he didn't see me in the alcove, so he didn't know anyone else who knew him was in that area of the post office. Apparently he had to get something from the pick up window and buzzed for a mail clerk. There was some disagreement or misunderstaniding about the parcel and he really ripped her a new one. He was just awful, in a snide, sarcastic, demeaning, condescending way. I walked past him towards the end of the tirade, so he could see me. From that point on, he began to treat me like he treated that clerk. And he must have been right about me because it was less than six months later that I decided to leave for good (10 months before actualizing it). Shoshana

Are we just being "sifted" out?
by micheal inthis is an expression all of us heard and read about in the wt.
this is also an agrument someone used on me because i am not and have no desire to go to meetings.
i for one believe this agrument that i as well as all of you are just being "sifted" out of "jehovah's organization" because we are "hard headed" is nothing more than a pile of crap.. .

Sure, Michael, why not. That analogy is backward (or is it?), because what gets "sifted out" is what goes into the cake-it is what is the desirable. What stays IN the sifter is what I toss down the garbage disposal. (That reminds me, I was going to have chocolate cake for breakfast-hope it's FULL of 'postates, they're delicious.) Shoshana

It's a pretty good start. You have lovely curls that don't frizz, you should enjoy them now. When you "grow up" you may end up having to look more professional for your job, then no one will get to see how beautiful your hair is. I was always a goner for the long haired boys when I was in high school and college. Well, I'm still a sucker for 'em, but not that I'm older and they're older, the partially balding longhaired men just look goofy (that's another thing, you may get bald one day. Enjoy it now!) Shoshana (P.S. backcombing it will make it "bigger" thus creating the illusion when you do comb it out that it's shorter than it was before!)
