I know 3 brothers who are window cleaners and another 2 who own cleaning companies. I also know far more sisters cleaning toilets, than there are brothers cleaning windows. Unfortunately, in the USA, it is more difficult for women to earn a decent living with only a high school education, than it is for a man...wage disparity...

I know very few JW window washers and cleaners
by MC RubberMallet inmaybe these occupations are quoted to make a point, but it loses meaning when maybe 1% of brothers i know actually has these as jobs..

Standard of Living in the New System
by cobaltcupcake ini used to wonder about this when i was still a dub: since they believe the industrialized world is going to be destroyed and the entire earth will be one big garden, exactly what kind of standard of living do they think they will have?
while they might be able to scavenge, say, a microwave oven or washing machine; and they might be able to figure out how to generate electricity, eventually all of these things will wear out and they'll be back in an early 18th century type of life.
people of that time and earlier who enjoyed a high standard of living employed armies of servants to do the dirty work, but since equality will reign in the ns, everyone will have to toil like a slave just to maintain the basics.. or do they think that big j will magically power their washing machines and water pumps and all the stuff that makes modern living so comfortable?.

I was always perplexed about the 'Jehovah will satisfy the desire of every living thing' aspect. My hubby had proudly announced to everyone what he was going to be doing forever. I told him that was interesting, as I wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with his chosen occupation, so we were obviously going to be separated. His chosen life occupation is to me extremely tedious and boring, and when we were in business, I hated it. He was utterly shocked to think I might want to do something other than what he was doing.

Any kind of satchel style. Wider than it is tall, that makes it easier for me to find things. I change purses with the seasons, but like to keep the same basic style.

Intro/fellow abuse survivor
by jwabusesurvivor inim new to the site, as my username implies i am an abuse survivor, it was more then sexual, it was a very horrific type of abuse and no surprise the jw's that were involved were and still are being protected.
i have found posts here to be encouraging and glad to see i am not alone in my struggle and my fight.. i have a constant struggle/battle with emotional and mental health issues from the many many years of abuse but i am a fighter and try to keep on going, but am so glad to have found this site, it seems to be a source of encouragement :).

by EndofMysteries inwhile i am waiting for him to answer my question.
i thought i would ask of him and any other jw's.

The New Diary of Winston Smith
by WinstonSmith inwe had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.
fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.
i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

Interesting read. I wish my hubby was like you. No matter how many questions I ask, that he cannot answer, he still insists the borg has the truth.
