is it just me, or are they the worst people to work with....they "use" anybody for their own ends, they expect everyone else to make allowances for their life style but are not prepared to make allowances for anyone else's, they do as little as they can for as long as they can and have absolutely no loyalty to their employers or fellow workers!!.

my recent experience is that they also will be "economical" with the truth (the real truth), as long as it benefits them.. maybe i'm a bit biased, but i would never want to work with or for another witness ever again!

I've never worked with Jws but my sister has and because of it she actually quit her job and went to work elswhere.

My sister worked at on of the area hospital in the administration offices. Behind her sat who she described as a "fanatical sister".

My sis tried to keep the fact that she was a witness from her but apparently the Jw found out and made her life a living hell.

This fanatic would talk (counsel what she called it) my sister at the top of her lungs saying things like : " you have to go back to Jehovah, he is the only salvation that you have...do want to die forever?...; When are you going to the meetings?...In John 3:16 it says......"etc.

Point is she would use every waking moment that she had to preach to my sister in a fanatical tone even yelling when my sis would bring up certain issues regarding the WT. My sis said that the Jw lady would even break into a sweat she would talk so loud for so long.

Everyone in the office would just look at them like if both were to blame for the daily scenes. So after about 4 years there she got another job and got the hell away from there.

Dogpatchs' post on the U.K.s DF'd or DA form reminded me of a conversation I had with a sister about 6 months ago who still works in Bethel.

She work in the section where the WT makes copies of videos and tapes.

She was called to see the supervisor in of of the computer data entry sections (Im sorry but I don't know the exact title of these jobs or "wings"), she had tried to get into that field due to her vast experience in computer networking before marrying a bethelite.

Well she said that she walked into the offices only to be told that the sup. was out for a minute. While she was hanging out for the sup. she walked over to a desk where one of the sisters who was working got up and left the room.

She decided to take a peek at her work and was shocked to see that the material that she was inputing into the computer was a Judicial com. case where some brother apparently received oral gratification from some sister.

She pretended not to have seen anything and immediatley stopped reading. She was later interviewed and would be notified if they would use her or not.

I have not seen her since but often wonder if she is still there and more, if she is now entering other people info. into the WT hard drive.

Could the WT be compelled to provide this info. in the event of any type of lawsuit?

U.K. form for disfellowshipping

by Dogpatch in

jw
friends

check out the form for disfellowshipping and disassociation, u.k. style.

disfellowship your neighbor, boss or whatever by filling out the form!.

net soup.

Patriot

Why in the world would there be a check box for "deceased" on the bottom?

Do the elders dig the old files out and open up sealed envelopes in order to update the fact that a disfellowshipped person has past away?

If they're dead, what the hells the use of even keeping the file?

Or do they Df people after they're dead?

This org. never ceases to amaze me.

The brothers hacked my email!

by Erin in

jw
friends

just learned that a group of jws hacked my email over a considerable period of time, hoping to intercept "incriminating" information in an attempt to disfellowship me!.

they printed up the emails and passed them out to other elders to "examine".

they were certainly very, very disappointed to not find anything they could "use".. the only outgoing emails from me they obtained were those attached to incoming mail as a result of some friends hitting "respond" when they wrote back to me.. the person who got into my email account is a ministerial servant who had previously worked on my business web site and therefore had my password.. he would download my email onto his computer, miles away, and then put everything back as "unread" so nothing would be "missing", when i accessed email from my computer.

Awake! 1/8/02 issue

i picked up the 1/8/02 issue of the awake!

in the waiting area while my car was being serviced yesterday.

when i see harmful literature in places like that, i follow the society's instructions and i hurl them in the trash.

Patriot

I am in complete shock...I guess it just happens to be the elders in my old circuit that had that frame of mind.

It just goes on to show you how "United" Jws are really not at all united in beliefs. What is acceptable in some parts of the country are not in others. Thats rediculous.

It reminds me of a afro american brother who transferred to our hall. He preferred to sport a "baldy" (no hair). When One of the younger hispanic brothers thought that, that was "cool" and got one too, he was removed from the mics and attendants list because of his "outragoues" hair cut.

Again at that time it was common for many english speaking brothers to have baldies but not the hispanics. And when we tried to do the same..we got the ax.

Like I said, Im surprised.

Thank Jav for the post.

Is it just me or is it hard to believe that one can actually be a firefighter with responsabilities and be in good standing in the cong.?

I dont know if views have laxed since I was in but I know that even today in my old Cong. that would not be looked upon as a career that a "mature Jw" would accept.

The reason being that the WT stresses that jobs or even "adventures" such as bungee jumping, hard roller coaster riding, or parachuting that puts your life in constant danger are not for "Christians".

They claim that if you do participate in these things or jobs, you don't value your life thus demonstrating your lack of good judgement. In other words you wont be used to fill needs in the Cong. because you're not a "good example". And if your some type of peace officer with a weapon and you just happen to need it one day and kill someone, then you'll be Df'd.

It just seems odd that NYtele yesterday said that there is a firefighter who serves as an elder in his Cong. who had a few experiences from GZ. If thats true, then way to go!

Again, I don't know if that view has changed (like most everything the WT does) but it certainly was that way a few years ago.

Passes for Ground Zero

by Patriot in

jw
friends

starting tomorrow the only way to have access to the viewing platforms that were built in order to let visitors have a "closer" look at the ruins at gz is by obtaining a "pass" being handed out every day early in the morning.. this to accomadate the large crowds and demands to view the ruins.. if you dont get a pass to be able to go up the 13ft.platform which can accomadate about 400 people at a time, then you have to view the ruins from the perimeter established.. i wanted to post this info.

in order to keep showing everyone that the wt boasts of having jws walking "around the debris" talking to others about the "truth" is a lie.. as you can see the closest that you can get is only through one of the viewing platforms-and now only with a pass.. and no freddy, i'm not talking about standing next to the bank and streching out your neck as far up as you can.. mav.-

Hey Detective,
Thats what Ive been trying to tell others on this board. I have no doubt that many Jws were preaching around the perimeter. I also believe that there were many nice "experiences" (since many people believed that the end of the world was around the corner and seeking some type of spiritual refuge).

I also beleive just as NYt pointed out that there could be Firefighters or even police officers who might be studying (they would of course be required to quit their jobs if they want to be in "good" standing with the cong.) that have helped in other ways by speaking about hope found in the Bible.

But to get up in front of a Cong. and say that a group of Jws went into the Debris wading around placing books and magazines while the "bucket brigade" was going on is just completely rediculous.
