i remember in the 70's and 80's the big jw career was pin striping...in addition to the regular careers like janitorial and window washing.

now i hear the big career is meter reading in the pacific northwest.

what are some of the other jw careers that are hot in the 2012 and the "end is closer than ever?

i mean how many of them really even want that?...most jws give away any interested person to a good ol pioneer..and not sure how many of them really want to make a disciple either....i mean she drives around endlessly with her chick friends...lots of starbucks...dunkin and kk...and they dont want a frikkin study....really????

?...........just a vent...oompa.

btw in my legal divorce papers response today i did say she was not blameless...stated that chose to be part of a religious sect that shuns me totally since i am no longer a believer...and that it has caused me extreme distress and anxiety....

Is God just a wreckless gambler as JW's teach?

ok, this hit me today...jw's teach its all about god's sovereignty and vindication of his name, satan challenged his sovereignty in garden of eden, also with job, he made the challenge job only served god because of everything god did good for him.

and to make our choice clear, he asks mankind to ...be wise my son and make my heart rejoice so that i may make a reply to him that is taunting me.... then, the next question is...didn't god basically take a bet????

wagered with mankinds lives??

i was born and raised a jw and left the "truth" as soon as i was 18 - but never baptized.

my mother and i have agreed to disagree and have a decent relationship (she is still jw).

whenever i see any people from her congregation they are nice to me and speak to me, and are aware i am not a witness.
