  sainsbury's has been forced to apologise after its jehovah's witness chef refused to serve a customer black pudding with his full english breakfast.alan mackay was stunned when he was told he could not enjoy the staple, made up of animal fat, blood and oatmeal, with his meal at the branch in arnold, nottingham.after receiving his incomplete dish the former police officer was told the black pudding would not be served because it was against the religious beliefs of the chef to do so....

  Not to be stupid, but what is that thing on the right hand side of the plate, a giant chicken nugget?

  Also, where are the pancakes?

  Thirdly, there's a difference between asking for accommodations for something that is a core component of your job and asking for an accommodation at your workplace for things that don't affect your job description.

  If wifi man is a systems tech who doesn't want to work with wifi, then, no, that would not be a reasonable accommodation.

  But, if wifi man works in an office where it is in use, but his job description does not require using it, then it might be reasonable to allow him to sit as far away from the router as possible.

  If your job description a chef includes cooking the entire menu, then, no, it is not reasonable to expect to refuse to cook an item on that menu.

  If you work at an office that has a breakfast for the staff occasionally, then it would be reasonable for an employee to request to not be the person who served the black pudding to the others.

  I don't know, but my parents are still true believers who recently tried to die for the blood ban.

  They don't do things perfectly; they talk to their disfellowshipped kids, but they do believe it all.

  My mother has nervous breakdown because we missed the memorial.

  my parents insisted that i'd take them to the memorial.

  my cousin said he'd come too and another brother who doesn't have a car begged to join.

  i was dreading having to go through exactly the same thing again.

  What is it with grown adult JWs and temper tantrums?

  My mother threw a blue fit one time because my father let us kids stay home from hall cleaning. It turned into a really big and ugly fight.

  The truth was that we were home secretly packing the family's suitcases because my dad was surprising my mom with a weekend getaway for us all.

  We did get a begrudging apology later, but it was so much unnecessary drama in the first place.

  Self-Driving vehicles and delivery robots - why?

  by FadeToBlack in

  1. social

  i saw a 'news' article today about pizza hut (i think) delivering pizzas via a robotic vehicle in nz.

  also another article headline saying it is not a question of if, but when.

  my immediate thought was, why?

  I don't understand how self-driving cars for pizza delivery would make economic sense for the business owners. They would have to take on the financial burden of purchasing the vehicle.

  As it is, they hire drivers for minimum wage who are supplemented by tips and who provide their own vehicle, and thus wear and tear, fuel and insurance.

  Unless the business model is different elsewhere.

  Need confirmation: WT bought an entire mountain in China to mine the granite needed for new WT HQ

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone asked for a second source on this, so i'm putting this out there to those who may have visited the new wt hq lately and know it to be true.

  i had read from others on the ex-jw subreddit that had taken a tour recently at wt hq, that they had been shown photos of a mountain in china, and told that this is where all of the granite is being mined from and shipped over to new york to use at the site of the new wt hq.

  apparently, it was cheaper for them to do this and have the local brothers in china mine it, then having to by tons upon tons of granite here in the usa, even wholesale.

  I heard that they were digging foundations at Warwick and dug a little too deep. After digging through some granite, they suddenly saw daylight, and realized they were in China.

  After considering the exchange rate, they decided to buy the granite from China, but they drove a hard bargain, considering they had dug it out themselves.

  The Chinese have now accepted the Watchtower with open arms.

  Follow the bouncing ball.

  Anybody remember that in the '70s? It must've been a kid show.

  The ball bounced on top of the words as you were supposed to sing them.

  Maybe they could use this method to keep everyone singing together.

  Surely the kids would love it.

  JW related collective nouns

  by Simon in

  english is a great language, especially when it comes to collective nouns.

  a "murder" of crows is just fantastic as is a "mob" of meerkats.

  a "colony" of ants, a "pride" of lions.

  The memorial beauty pageant

  by BlackWolf in

  2. friends

  since the memorial is coming up soon and its about time for me to go shopping for a new memorial ( aka easter) dress, i've realized what the memorial really is for us teenage girls, a beauty pageant!

  the memorial is the day i spend painting my nails, curling my hair, and carefully applying makeup because my mother says i have to "represent jehovah" and look my best.

  in reality its just to impress the newcomers and to compete with the other girls.

  SIAR2, wow just checked our pioneercloset. It's on Instagram and it's heavy on polka dots and florals, all in an ugly midcalf length.

  My skirts were always mid-knee or above back in the 1980s and if I remember correctly, knee-length was acceptable then. Mine were only slightly short, but this halfway to the floor stuff is just ugly!

  Witness fashion has definitely gone downhill.
