  yikes...at work next week i will be spending an entire day in a room with a young jw woman.

  (i work at an elementary school and we will be doing photocopying and other assorted things).

  this young woman is a gung-ho witness but she is going to be going to college.

  Just found out a Witness works with me-ruined my day

  by Quandry in

  2. friends

  i work in an elementary school as a very low paid teacher's aide.

  of course, most of the staff are teachers who are paid three times my salary and have at least a college degree, many with a master's.

  every day i have to face the fact that i followed the "godly wisdom" from the gb and didn't get higher education (except the degree equivalent from reading all the wts and awakes-i haven't gone to personnell to see how that would work out).. this morning, a fellow aide that i rarely see was coming in the door at the same time i was.

  out of curiosity i went back to page one of the forum.

  The downside of no longer being a JW

  by Quandry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have discovered a downside to no longer being a jw.

  as we were washing clothes today, my husband remarked that since we no longer attend meetings, we are not constantly sending suits and dresses to the dry cleaners and alas, we no longer get hangers and are going to have to (gasp) buy some!

  what down sides can you think of?.

  don't know if this has been posted before.

  these are the annual meeting notes.

  notice that although the fds "not inspired" an "err" they are the channel of communication.
