A disfellowshipped window washer came by work yesterday. He was df'd for homosexuality.He mentioned how he is trying to get his life in order and stopped working with his "friend". He is making meetings and feels guilty about his sexual conduct. He told me that he is trying to get more window-washing jobs. I started to feel bad for him.....Whether he's a Witness or exWitness, he's a guy that still doesn't have a clue about life. It is sad.

Minimus, are you trying to tell me that those dudes that hang out at traffic lights with squeegees are JWs?
LOL! A squeegee in one hand, Watchtower in the other.

Yes. And if they are disfellowshipped JW's, they might have tobacco or drugs on 'em too.

When I'm Cleaning WindowsGeorge Formby
- written by George Formby, Harry Gifford and Frederick E. Cliffe
- as recorded September 27, 1936 by George Formby (1904-1961)
Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob
For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job
Now it's a job that just suits me
A window cleaner you would be
If you can see what I can see
When I'm cleanin' windows
Honeymoonin' couples too
You should see them bill 'n coo
You'd be surprised at things they do
When I'm cleanin' windows
In my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top
The blushin' bride, she looks divine
The bridegroom he is doin' fine
I'd rather have his job than mine
When I'm cleanin' windows
The chambermaids' sweet names I call
It's a wonder I don't fall
My mind's not on my work at all
When I'm cleanin' windows
I know a fella, such a swell
He has a thirst, that's plain to tell
I've seen him drink his bath as well
When I'm cleanin' windows
Oh, in my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top
Pyjamas lyin' side by side
Ladies nighties I have spied
I've often seen what goes inside
When I'm cleanin' windows
------ banjo ------
Now there's a famous talkie queen
She looks a flapper on the screen
She's more like eightie than eighteen
When I'm cleanin' windows
She pulls her hair all down behind
Then pulls down her... never mind
And after that pulls down the blind
When I'm cleanin' windows
In my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top
An old maid walks around the floor
She's so fed up, one day I'm sure
She'll drag me in and lock the door
When I'm cleanin' windows
When I'm cleanin' windows

Minimus, my heart goes out to this man. I know the pain he is in....from having been through it myself. I can only hope that one day he will learn of the existence of A Common Bond. When I was disfellowshipped 23 years ago, I had no place to turn for refuge and comfort. In today's world, there are such places where one can turn, instead of becoming the proverbial "dog who returns to his own vomit" because he knows of nowhere else to go. I can only hope we reach him in time.
