  JWs in The Workplace: What Type Were/Are You?

  by Room 215 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems to me that jws in the workplace fall into three basic categories: (1) the matter-of-fact type who goes about his/her business, not hiding his/her religious afflililation and seldom if ever initiates conversations on religious topics, but who nonethless hews to the wtbs party line on involvement in non-business social events, i.e.

  office holiday parties, etc.

  handling any inquiries succinctly; (2) the aggressive type that seeks opportunity to ``give a witness" to workmates, who brings in and displays prominently wt literature and reads or studies his/her wt at lunchtime and at coffee breaks; or (3) the ``double lifer" easy-going type who's one of the boys/gals and who onlyreveals his/her religious affliliation reluctantly or under duress, yet away from work is a regular meeting attender and active in ``field service.".

  last year on memorial day a group of about 14 east coast ex-jw's met together in providence ri.

  i had the pleasure of being able to have most of them back to our apartment for dessert, and thoroughly enjoyed meeting local people with a similar background.

  i was able to meet zev, somebody, red horse woman, scumrat, sister act, doc bob & his wife, as well as others whom i can't remember their online names.. this year, i would like to get another group together on memorial day again, and hopefully we'll get even more of a response this year.

  i don't know if anyone noticed since i'm not one of the premier posters, but i've been gone for several weeks.

  unfortunately, the reason is i was in a very bad car accident.

  i can't give too many details, because i don't want to be identified, but my car was hit by a semi truck on a major freeway during rush hour.

  Are You Hooked On a Soap?

  by Sentinel in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i can't believe they still refer to these shows as "soaps", but yes, i'll be the first to admit that i tape one soap show regularly, and am quite up on all the goings on.

  and, sometimes, i suppose i can even admit to being obsessive.

  this is especially so, if the story line is at a very good place, and the power goes off during my day at work, and it doesn't get taped.

  Not since they cancelled Knots Landing. What a great bunch of crap that went on in that cul-de-sac. The Fairgates, The Ewings...that was great TV.

  Currently I am hooked on this soap.

  what was the first computer you ever owned?

  for me it was the trs-80 model 1. i bought it for $10 at a second hand store when i was 10 years old.

  took me forever to find info on the thing, an manual, and a patchcord to hook up a cassette deck.

  When I was a kid, we did Halloween every year. No big deal, just costumes and trick or treating, but that was the 70's. When I was 11 we stopped celebrating everything, and several years ago I left the JW's. Now I celebrate most everything EXCEPT Halloween. I find the occult overtones too much. We were discussing this amongst my friends the other night. A friend of mine said she sees no difference between Halloween and the Fall Festivals celebrated by local churches. I think celebrating Halloween is definitely a personal decision and I'm not trying to sway or cause conflict, I choose not to participate. I find I am in the minority, even at my local church. Any thoughts?
