Kids With A Card
by days of future passed ini've taken up doordashing to make some extra cash to pay for my hobbies and other things.
you are a food delivery person at the mercy of a crappy app and google which can be stressful.
the plus side is tips and people who are usually happy to see you.. but it wasn't long into this gig, that i became acquainted with a certain kind of customer.

It's a mixed bag with the restaurants. There are some I try to avoid because they are always busy and depending on who is completing orders, your wait stay can be over 20 mins - that is almost one job you lose because of it.
The people who own doordash make it tough to be on time because they only allow a slim margin of time. There is also the rating system. Only a few people have to give you negative reviews to drop you to the point you are no longer considered a Top Dasher. That means you get less of a chance at a higher payout.
I've gotten the negative reviews because I accepted two orders at a time and something gets messed up. Either the app or the restaurant taking too long.
That's pretty much what happens on a regular basis.
But the majority of dashers that I've met are really nice. The people you deliver to, are nice for the most part. The one's with kids are the most grateful. My favorite was a long drop off for very little and I was feeling grumpy and they didn't have a light on in their expensive neighborhood. Just as I got out to try to find it, I saw a man walking up his path and the light in the house turned on. In the large picture window, were the silhouettes of children jumping up and down on the couch because their hamburgers were there. I had to laugh.

Unless they experience a downside to their mental attitude and they see a gain in changing - won't happen.
My sister is good example. I realize that nothing will change her now. She get's too many pluses for her manipulative behaviors that she can't stop. That's why there are burdensome laws - trying to force these people to do what is right.

But it wasn't long into this gig, that I became acquainted with a certain kind of customer. I had an order at Mel's old fashioned diner for some chicken waffles etc. and the person who had ordered was a Jean-Luc. The first thing that came to mind was the captain of the starship cruiser, The Enterprise. As I drove down a dead end street at night, I saw a flashlight at the end, slowly circling around. It was a kid about 13 or so and he was on the street flagging me down. "Jean-Luc?" I asked. Yes he said and took the food off to the house. It suddenly occurred to me, that he most likely had ordered the food secretly and so had come out so his parents didn't know.
After that, I've had several more KWAC.
- Fries and a drink from Chick fil-a with a $6 charge to another 13 year old girl who met me in the apartment parking lot
- 2 sides of expensive organic mashed potatoes to a teenager outside the his house
- Expensive one drink orders (like that pearl drink) that cost $6 or more to deliver. Waiting at the door with their phone app tracking me so they know when to intercept.
There has been a few more like that. There has also been a few times where the kid has been caught.
- Wingstop order delivered to the poorer side of town and accepted by a kid in the house. When I turned around, there was a lean, shaven headed latino man staring at me. "What are you doing here?" he said suspiciously. "I'm delivering food" I said (I'm female by the way and no spring chicken) He slowly nodded his head and said "Oh I didn't know they ordered lunch" Needless to say, I left quickly.
- 2 big pizzas and some pasta delivered to a house where I had to knock a few times before a young kid opened the door. Too bad he was slow on opening because the adults were in the back barbecuing. A man said What's that? The boy who had opened the door, quickly closed it. I delivered the food and then later got a text saying that they hadn't ordered pizza. Well I'm sure they figured it out because I got my delivery money.
The latest one was a little different. A $2 order that I accidently accepted. As I drive up to an expensive house, I see there are instructions "Leave on the porch" Before I can get out, another text message says Just leave on porch. Ok I reply. "Don't knock or call or make noise ok?" is the next text. As I go up the steps I hear lots of people in the front room. So it's not because there are dogs or a kid asleep (which is often why some don't want you to knock) So I leave it and go.
Obviously a kid with a card.

head coverings
by loveforgod inhi there i am not a jw but i am having bible study.
i came to christianity a few months before and i was searching for the right path.

Although I haven't gone to other churches, I would say if you want a more supportive and loving religion, don't join this one.
For all the talk of love, I grew up in this religion feeling unloved. They say God loves you but....... and somehow, you are made to feel like you are never good enough. Especially if you are female.
The newest trend with this religion is:
Give us your money
Shun anyone that isn't a 100% for us
Everyone who isn't one us - is wicked and bad and will die at Armageddon so stay away from those that don't go to the kingdom hall (actually that is what they have always said)

JWs need their safe space (recent WT quote)
by neat blue dog inwhen people complain of being victimized by god's organization, it's actually you, faithful jw, who are the victim, because you're forced to hear it!
don't worry, just go to your safe space, put on the industrial sized headphones that special kids use and repeat calming mantras to yourself .
.. we may be disturbed by false stories that opposers spread about us.

The urgent, lifesaving work of Jehovah's witnesses......hardly!!
by RayoFlight2014 insince june 2016 i have kept a journal of my encounters with jehovah's witnesses at my door or in my street.
i'm a a nosey bastard and a bit of a home body when i'm not at work so i don't miss much of who comes past my home or knocks at the door.. will and dill.. they came to my door on a wednesday morning around 10:30am mid june 2016, i was on afternoon shift and had been reading bart ehrman "misquoting jesus".. what follows is the conversation as best i could recount after they left;.
of the two young gentlemen, dillon, the younger in appearance introduced will and himself, he then proceeded to present me with a brochure about world conditions supposedly getting worse.. me: i could stand at the door nodding in agreement if you like?

I remember stockpiling incidents that pointed to the worsening of the world. Every negative action by politicians and world leaders. And if there were positive things like breakthroughs in medicine or humanitarian efforts - you only had to repeat the WT's phrase "they are just rearranging the chairs on the Titanic" to know how futile they were.
After being out for a few years, I only had to listen to the jw at work nodding and talking in a conspirator tone about "how bad the world is" to really see how well the WT has convinced people that it's true.
The only thing about the present world that is really scary, is that the whole world can go up in radioactive dust from a deluded ruler.

I speculate many Japanese PIMI are visiting apostate websites to collect information
by yoko N ini run a japanese blog which exposes jw's hidden scandals.
child abuse issues, court cases which are never to be published on jw official website.
it is a very serious blog.

You do have several good side by sides ie the golden calf and the logo worship. For me personally, I have a hard time with info making fun of something that is serious. It amuses people that have no interest in it but shocks people that are in because it mocks them and what they consider to be a part of their life.
But that is just how I feel.

Seeking advice
by Mizalisa ini'm not a jw, nor was i raised jw.
for the past three years i have been involved with a man who was raised jw, who at first told me he no longer believed as they did, but who, it has become clear over time, has not told his family or religious community the truth.
he has strung me along for years, never introduced me to anyone in his life.

It sounds like he is very reliant on financial help from his parents. You didn't say how old he is and what's the economic future for him where you live, so it's impossible to guess how many more years it will take for him to earn a living.
It would have been better if he had confessed this to you in the beginning and since he didn't, you feel disrespected. I would say an honest talk about all the difficulties he expects and how it will impact you, is necessary.
There is something you ought to know about those that leave this religion (even other ones too) is that unless they come to a conclusion that JW religion is false/hypocritical, they will always believe it in their hearts and it will influence them. Usually not in a good way.
Only you know if you want to continue on.

Wow. I love the filming. Reminds me of Lord of the Rings. I always imagine giant stegosauruses underneath with their plates poking out.
