JWs, ex-JWs and Non-JWs
by CeriseRose ini'm going to preface these comments with a disclaimer: in no way am i meaning these observations to be inflamatory, exclusionary, or to devalue anyone.
i believe everyone has a right to their opinion, and observations, and to share themwithin the terms of the board.
i also believe that there is learning to be found from a variety of sources.

Not sure if this belongs in this subheading...
by CeriseRose inbut i really don't know where to put it if not here.
just an interesting bit of things that i'm reading.
now, please remember that i had no bible knowledge prior to jws and they 'got' to me just as i was hitting the years where most people go to university to expand their knowledge.

Happy (ecstatic) news, Walking on Air...
by CeriseRose ini've been a bit lax in posting, life got really busy over the last while.
i've had my own business that's been gaining contracts, but not quickly enough for mortgage payments and cat food.
hehe so i took a 5 month temp job to supplement.

At the risk of making Valis' head explode...

I don't know if this would be considered a "scandal" per se...
by CeriseRose infor the first time in as many years as i can remember they moved the district convention from the large pacific national exhibition centre (pne), and divided the convention into 2 parts and all the jws in the area are assigned to go 4 hours north of here, get accommodations etc.. they came out with this back when i was *just* leaving the org.
i asked my jw friend and the comment back from her was that they hadn't been able to book the pne and so everyone was doing this.
i think that's a load of crap...they've moved the assembly weekend before when they've had the weekend they wanted booked, and to another weekend.

Things I've Learned This Week...
by CeriseRose ini've had a difficult week, fraught with one problem after another.
this is what i've learned:the network/router gods get mad if you beat them at their own game and will work in collusion with the printer gods to screw you over bad.10 years of maintaining my work printer + 1 year of being out of the job = complete meltdown of my brain to remember that when you replace the colour toner, you need to replace the black toner as an acceptable sacrifice to the printer godsnever replace toner and drivers for your printer at the same timealways look on amazon.com for printer toner before spending $100 at staples (can take that back, thank goodness!
)a credit card "customer service" agent in the hand is worth a least two yelling matches and should be washed off with astringent soap and boiling water immediately.
