  i just need somewhere to bitch.

  i usually bitch with other people at work, but they have lots of meetings going on today, so i'm stuck muttering to myself.

  got an email this morning that we're finally getting our review and raises next week.

  You know what's stupid? If the new job place is going to keep calling me back so many times, why don't they just hire me already and be done with it?
  
  And it's not sunny here. It's raining. Not even a thunderstorm, just that miserable gray rain that melts witches and causes suicide.

  Got an email this morning that we're finally getting our review and raises next week. We WERE supposed to get them by Apr. 30, but instead we got an excuse about a month ago. But here's the problem, next week I'm on holidays. Go figure.
  
  I've also been searching for a new job. Every place is paying more than here. I've had two interviews at one place. The second interview was pointless. The person I was supposed to meet with wasn't there, so I met with some other guy for like 5 minutes. Seemed like a big waste of time to me. Why didn't he just call and reschedule? Anyway, I'm supposed to have another follow up whenever somebody figures out what's going on. The guy who's setting all this up is a bit of a clueless dumbass. Nevertheless, I'll be phoning them next week.
  
  And here's the kicker. The goddam snack machine at work is empty. At least it has no chips. I don't like eating the chocolate. Anyway, I decided to bite the bullet and get a Hershey's Cookies n Cream located at D10. I put my money in, punched in D-1... and out pops a friggin' pack of gum. It was then that I noted the "10" button. So now I'm here chewing this crappy gum that I didn't want.
  
  Today sucks. On top of it, I'm supposed to count stock. Whoooppeeeee!!!!
  
  Anyone else having a crap day?

  What is YOUR bible of choice?

  by gloobster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  although i'm pretty much an atheist, i still like reading the bible.

  it's an amazing literary masterwork to say the least.. my question is, after discovering that the new world translation of the wts was poorly translated and altered in ways designed to support their various peculiar doctrines (see john 1:1, etc.

  ), what bible translation are you all the most fond of?.

  Clothing in the New Order

  by donny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the society teaches that once the new order is up and running, we will achieve perfection as adam and eve once were.

  if thats the case, why do they portray folks in the new order as fully clothed?

  i thought clothing was the result of sin, so once sin is eliminated, should not clothing be also?

  Apparently, perfect factories don't create pollution when they manufacture the plastic lawn chairs and beach balls you see in the Paradise Erf pics.

  Holy Moses! PBS documentary suggests Exodus not real

  by ICBehindtheCurtain in

  2. experiences

  this will be very interesting, i only wish it would make the rounds on the jw emails the same way "knocking" did, fat chance!

  we can only hope that pbs and nova will jump on this bandwagon as well, sooner than later.

  holy moses!

  REM show last night... my critique

  by dawg in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in art, there can be no wrong opinions, we like what we like and have to offer no explanation for what we like and/or do not like.

  that said... my take on last night's rem concert at lakewood amphitheater.

  ok, so i'm an athenian, that means i'm supposed to love all things athens, georgia is about; but i've never been a big rem fan... in fact, when i was offered front row tickets given by the band themselves, i really didn't want to go.

  I like that song they did called "Baby Ran"
  
  ....no wait, that was 54-40. Nevermind.
  
  I can tolerate REM, but I won't go out and buy any of their music. Pop song is okay, but that's probably because I don't hear it regularly. I remember when "What's the Frequency Kenneth" came out, and I thought it was the stupidest song I'd ever heard, uh huh.
  
  I guess the answer is no, I'm not an REM fan. The singer from 54-40 sounds identical, and their songs are way more catchy. I wouldn't mind going to see them, and I've been thinking about picking up some of their albums.

  because i was a born-in and raised in the wt, i was always told that we don't need holidays to tell us to give gifts to our children.

  we give them gifts all year around.. did your parents ever make good on that promise?.

  No, but I had Present Day! Unfortunately, the presents always sucked. And I never got presents from my worldly relatives on that day.

  When Disfellowshipping extends outside the KH; shunning that never ends

  by Layla33 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was talking about this the other day to a friend that is an attorney for abused children and we started discussing strange family practices and how they affect children.

  it was during that conversation that i remembered something i hadn't thought about in years - when i was 12 years old my step-father and mother tried to practice a form of shunning (disfellowshipping) in the family.

  of course it wasn't my mother's idea, it was my neurotic mentally deranged stepfather that decided because my mother and i had disagreed about something in a silly judicial meeting, that i was to be shunned from the family.

  Six months? I could see a JW doing this to their kid for an hour just to teach them what being disfellowshipped is like, but six months? That's awful.
