  Did You Feel Bad For the JW Dishwasher-Cook Who Quit His Job (May JW Broadcasting)To Avoid Attending Later Meetings?  He Pioneered on Welfare or Unemployment!

  by RoyalFlushPhil in

  did you watch the story about the jw who was working as a burger boy at some diner and his boss wanted him to work on sunday during the time of his meeting?

  this faithful jw decided he could not attend a later meeting (6 pm sunday meeting) and soon quit his job(or got fired to attend his sunday meeting) so he could attend the sunday meeting he was assigned to.

  i think he was on welfare because this story states he won't work on sunday morning because that's when his meeting is!

  As I said in an earlier post on this topic.

  (if any of this story is even true) Most JW's in that situation would have simply attended a later meeting in Sunday.

  Most JW's (especially ones with 3 kids) would have waited to quit until they had another job.

  The interior shots of that house were obviously a set (there were no windows in any of the rooms). Unless his wife had a good job, he couldn't have afforded to live there. (All the rooms were decorated in the JW perfect funeral parlor style)
  

  They said, it took so long for him to get a job that he eventually had to sign up for unemployment. Most people, if they were entitled to it, would have signed up for unemployment immediately. This shows me that he quit rather than was fired as they (sort of ) indicated he was. In some circumstances, you can get unemployment if you quit, but only after many weeks have passed first.

  There were many subliminal messages in that video that were intentionally used to get your sympathy for the Brother. The most glaring one to me was when the Boss put a timer in front of him while he cooked an order and the Brother gladly worked faster and was able to meet the deadline. This (if it even happened) was to show how mean and unreasonable the boss was to work for and asking him to work on Sunday was part of that unreasonableness.

  They indicated once again, that Jehovah plays a direct hand in making good things happen in your life. Even though millions of non JW's have better jobs or are losing jobs and getting new ones all the time, when it happens in the congregation, it's because Jehovah manipulated time and space to get you what you deserve for doing what the WT Society calls "His Will".

  How can you tell who it was that liked or disliked your comments? As far as I can see, there is nothing that indicates specifically who it was.

  Need Help

  i'm in dire need of assitance, and i have decided to humbly come here.... first, let me reintroduce myself.

  my name is kolabomi, a nigerian and a proud one too.

  i am a graduate student in one of my country's leading university.

  My understanding is that you are asking for someone from another country to set up a crowdfund for you so that those who donate to your cause won't know their money is going to someone in Nigeria, because of the bad reputation Nigeria has with internet fraud.

  You may very well be legit and if so I'm sorry for your troubles but to set up such an account would be deceitful unless you disclosed fully to those donating, exactly where their money would be going. Your story would have to be told in such a way that those donating would be doing so under false pretenses.
  

  Even though setting up a Crowdfund for you would likely not cost anything, the individual who did so would be part of any deceit that (may) be taking place. Even though many here are inclined to be helpful to those in need, not many (including myself) would be willing to take that kind of risk, especially for a total stranger they encountered on an internet site,
  

  It seems to me that between your parents, friends,relatives and University, you should be able to get a loan or credit to purchase what you need. Is there a way to borrow an instructors equipment or the equipment of a friend until you can make some other arrangement? What equipment have you been using or are you currently using to get by?

  Is that correct?

How did he ever get to that position when he is just so disturbing to even look at with the volume off? And LORD, when I put the volume on,its just 10x worse.

  Of course you know what the JW retort to your comment would be:

  1 Corinthians 1:27 "Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful."

  
  Acts 4:13 "Now when the Jewish leaders saw the boldness of Peter and John and found out that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were amazed and realized that they had been with Jesus. "

  What to say to JWs at a funeral

  my father passed away this week.

  we are going to have a funeral for him.

  he was not a witness for many years but a lot of his family is still associated.

  My Father wasn't a JW when he passed away but was associated for years.

  You might hear:

  ===========================================================
  

  We look forward to seeing your Dad again soon, he'll surely be in the resurrection.

  Make sure you are there to welcome him back.

  That's very kind of you to say...if there are indeed good things in store for mankind in the future, I see no reason why both Dad and I won't be a part of it as well.
  

  =====================================
  

  Are you planning to return to Jehovah?

  Will we be seeing you at the meetings again soon?

  The end is so close....we can't take any chances and miss out on everlasting life.

  I appreciate your concern and I'm sure you'll understand why I might not want to answer that question just now.

  with all the furor over the jw's cash strapped pleas, i'm surprised no one noticed a different issue with this broadcast.

  it was historic!

  yes, all 7 of the gb have broadcast in the 7 months of the channel's existence!

  P Z : "They have always claimed that from a Biblical standpoint, the number 7 represented "Earthly Completeness"--

  Well shut my mouth....no wonder I always got failing marks on the written review.

  Earthly or otherwise, it sounds like they are worried about running"completely" out of money.
