  I suppose you should count on them finding empoyment elsewhere. If I we you, I'd begin interviewing new people for all five posistions immediately. Don't make it a secret. tell the current employees that you are planning for future expansion and unexpected contingencies.

  You may discover that some of these people will now be plotting against you, undermining your business or trying to go into business for themselves using your customers as their new business base. If so, fire them immediately - no two week notice BS - and get them off your premises ASAP.

  Good luck!

  Zoe Knox's article

  the june, 2011 issue of the journal of religious history (religious history a sociological perspective) contains an article that some might find interesting (and perhaps a little naive) on jws and their history.

  for what it's worth i dled it from a university webpage that pays to subscribe to the journal and then tried posting it on zhare, but didn't take.

  anyone got another free, no-need-to-join host that i can post it on so all can dl it?

  Here's the abstract (description) of her article.

  From their humble origins as small, loose-knit groups of Bible students in Pennsylvania in the 1870s, Charles Taze Russell and his followers laid the foundations of a highly visible, and frequently controversial, worldwide religious organisation known since 1931 as the Jehovah's Witnesses. Despite the Witnesses' broad historical role in defining and shaping understandings of religious tolerance, freedom of conscience, and civil liberties around the world, historians have paid very little attention to the Witnesses, with the notable exception of their treatment in Nazi Germany and the United States and Canada in wartime. The paucity of historical knowledge is all the more surprising given their visibility and notoriety. This article aims to initiate discussion of this under-researched history by addressing what has been written, by whom, and for what purpose. It represents the first effort to evaluate the English-language historical literature on the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society.

  I just sent Dr. Zoe Knox an email requesting her permission for us to reproduce and review her article and also inviting her to join our discussion group.

  We'll see what happens... (fingers crossed)

  Unshackled, I am DOWN with BROWN!

  Sadly, I had no choice in the matter. You make a good point, however, the striking postal workers are giving their competition an opportunity to clean their clock. Result: the postal service revenues will continue to decline.

  I have no idea what she's doing, but she's cute as a button! (That's a complimentary English idiom.)

  That is NOT a WT approved reference!

  Alfred John Church
  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  Alfred John Church (29 January 1829 - 27 April 1912) was an English classical scholar.

  Church was born in London and was educated at King's College London, and Lincoln College, Oxford, he took holy orders and was an assistant-master at Merchant Taylors' School for many years. From 1880 until 1888 he was professor of Latin at University College, London.

  While at University College in partnership with William Jackson Brodribb,[1] he translated Tacitus and edited Pliny's Letters (Epistulae). Church also wrote a number of stories in English re-telling of classical tales and legends for young people (Stories from Virgil, Stories from Homer, etc.). He also wrote much Latin and English verse, and in 1908 published his Memories of Men and Books. Church died in Richmond, Surrey.

  Who is your hero?

  by HintOfLime in

  personally, as a computer programmer, my hero is a bit odd perhaps - gordon ramsey.

  i think gordon ramsey is awesome.

  no nonsense - he tells boring, lazy, mediocre people that they are mediocre, and passionately tells them what they are doing wrong... because he wants them to do better.

  Is there a grey zone in terms of authority over a young witness?

  by dgp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am certain that the child of a jehovah's witness family is under the authority of the father.

  i am sure the young daughter of this witness, who marries another witness (or anyone, for that matter) is under the "headship" of the man she marries.

  but, what would happen if the child, male or female, were, say, 25, and already held a job?

  If you live under your parent's roof, they have authority over you.

  Want to be independent? Get your own place.

  Even then, though, there's a gray zone - but it is for YOU.

  How much authority do YOU have over your life? Is there any part of your life that isn't under the control of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society?

  You may think, "yes, I can select my favorite flavor of ice-cream." But what if someone objects to your choice of ice-cream flavors? Wouldn't it be better to lose the ice-cream and gain your brother?

  when I saw your subject line, I was going to call BS on it. I'm glad to see this is only a hypothetical, like all JW theology.
