Punk,
Sounds like your getting lost in the shifting landscape of the office. If you could become more agile you might experience a paradigm shift in your thought processes.
'granular' seems to be the latest buzz word going around my office.
previously it was 'appetite'.. abstract words that appear to be designed to make the person saying it appear powerful and part of the 'team'.. as lord sugar has observed before; why not just speak english and say what you mean.. office jargon really annoys me.
i had enough loaded language and jargon in the disgusting jw cult..

out at the mall with mrs. otwo, she sees a shirt on the rack that was marked down from $25 to just $4.
she holds it up and says, "should i buy this as a workout shirt?".
i tell her "no, because as soon as you figure out what it means, you won't wear it anymore.
As a workout shirt it would make more sense if she covered the 'FA' with an 'Ohh'. Now that has a meaning!
here in the uk new drinking guidelines have been issued which suggest "no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine.".
another piece of the advice which is getting a lot of attention is that "if people drink, it should be moderately over three or more days and that some days should be alcohol-free.".
already people are making cries of "nanny state!
as i mentioned in another post i used to serve as an elder for 2 decades.
i was involved in a number of jc.
some i dealt with are good friends now.
@ Closed,
Since these lies were published in the news paper and most all news papers are on-line now, would you mind posting a link to the story that you referred to in the OP?
this was how it was described to me yesterday by a brother who has been there for some 40 years.
"everyone is about gone; the governing body is set to leave within 2 months; the kitchen and laundry personnel are gone and i have to fend for myself now.".
"also the aggravation of 4 to 5 business men in suits with clipboards daily checking out the watchtower properties.
So it's not like this anymore?
today i am working on writing my disassociation letter.
i successfully faded a year ago.
but i feel like i can't keep looking over my shoulder anymore i just need to be completely rid of this cult.. any suggestions on letter and it's content?.
Do you understand that if you DA it is the same as being DF and your family members are required to shun you?
Are you prepared to be cut-off from your mother and brother for good?
petra!
2015-12-17-boe already, you dear brothers have done so well, sending gifts both large and small.
for in-stance, two children, five and seven years old, sent their pocket money to help build our new bethel instead of going to the circus, writing, "this is much better than that!
Sorry WT! You will never again get our
circus $,
ice cream $,
Disney World $
Movie theater $
Popcorn $
candy $
grocery $
vacation $
education $
retirement $
The return on a WT investment is a big old heaping pile of GUILT as demonstrated by the OP.
Suck it WT! You will never get another dime from me! And shame on you for using children as pawns for your greed.

On the bright side, you can wear your shirt un-tucked, no jacket or tie required in the ministry.
Plus you can carry a man purse since you will needs your arms and hands free to climb the rugged mountainous terrain.

If they wanted JWs to go where the need is greater, they should NOT have laid off all of the Special Pioneers. Am I right?
Screw em, I am keeping my puppy.
hi people,.
i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).
1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.
Converted with family at age 5 in 1966
Baptized: 1978
Left: 2001
In for: 23 years
The internet played a big roll in my exit.
