If I were you I would have told them you didn't want to discuss religion as it makes you extremely uncomfortable in the work place. They have to live by the same rules they embrace! Also as was stated by an earlier member you can make a sexual harassment complaint even if you are not the one receiving the advances. Does this company have an HR department? A lot of times you can put more pressure on the owner through HR as they are more willing to listen to them (they act kind of as legal council). If not, you should definitely make it a vague legal threat. Nothing scares a company or forces their hand like a vague legal threat.

Being a Jehovah's Witness Can Make You Fat
by WTWizard inas there has been some talk lately of a crackdown on obesity (in the form of the great boasting session), it might be time for a thread about how being one of jehovah's witlesses can lend one to becoming fat.. first, my personal situation.
when i was in college, i gained the 4x15 pounds that were supposed to be gained in college, and it was only my sophomore semester.
it was legitimately my fault.

Uh...the same argument could be made that being a JW makes you loose weight. It's all in the person. Had you not been lazy and just kept up a routine anyways you would not have gained weight.
edited to add:
I guess I am the only one who went to a hall that encouraged physical activity. We did Basketball, softball and football almost every weekend. There weren't many lardasses in the hall and my Dad walked every morning BEFORE field service.

My dreams with my best friend are always extremely vivid. One of which I was crying when he left and woke up still crying, yet somewhat happy that I had gotten a chance to talk to him even if it was a dream. It should be noted though that I have always been good at remembering dreams in vivid detail. There is definitely a much more "real" aspect to the dead friends dreams though. When in a dream it is not just accepted it is a dream, I figure it out and usually try to manipulate it. With the dead friend dreams we both acknowledge it is a dream and just discuss the coming and goings of my friends and how we are both doing. As I said before we both know he is dead and we both know it is a dream. I'll definitely try to ask for proof if I have another one. I'm still skeptical but there is definitely a part of every human that wants to believe.
My question is always how do you know if your sensitive to certain things like that? I've always felt I was but then again I've chalked it up to me just wanting to be "special".

I WAS INTERVIEWED ON TELEVISION...
by snowbird inon monday night, april 1, 2008.. the occasion was a parents' meeting to determine what is to be done with two elementary schools that have been determined by the state of alabama to be substandard.
my ten-year old granddaughter attends one of those schools.. the superintendent of schools is wanting to close those schools and bus the kids 3-4 miles to a new school that was built in 1999. the enrollment at that school has dropped sharply due to the razing of a housing project nearby.
he was at the meeting to assure us that it is a cost-saving measure and that he feels his solution is best.. well, some parents and grandparents goaded on by some teachers, gave the supt a hard time.

Me and my Mom discussed that movie by Ben Stien. One thing that annoyed me is Ben Stien not pointing out that the creationist have pro Christian agenda while scientist in the evolution field have NO religious agendas/

I too have dreams. Once a year I have a dream where my best friend who died a few years back comes and asks me how things are. We both know he is dead and we both know it's a dream. It's really strange, but then I think wouldn't he know how we were doing if he is dead and has the power to enter my brain during sleep? I have always felt sensitive to different things of that nature (could just be making it up in my mind). I tried to do some EVP work but it never panned out.
I am still on the fence if I believe or not, but certainly had some weird experiences. One time I walked up to a house I had never been too and told my friend I got a bad feeling from it and did not want to go further. He thought I was joking with him, it turns out there had been a triple murder/suicide there. I didn't know there had been a murder there and had never seen the house, but I knew something was just not right about it. So how do you explain that to your rational brain?

What to do when your JW + Silentlamb pasts ends in relationship rejection
by feenx ini find myself today completely distraught, rejected and questioning myself for the first time in quite a while.
this past friday night i ran into my recent ex and some mutual friends, and the new guy she is seeing.
the very guy who she herself referred to previously as a "man whore.

It sucks feenx. I'll play devil's advocate and just point out that if you haven't been through child abuse it's very hard to deal with someone who has. Point blank you have issues that are deep seeded that is hard for people to understand. That being said it's a shame she lead you on instead of just being honest. It's just a lazy thing for her. She was too lazy from the beginning to want to deal with your problems but probably never said anything. As for you being disgusted about that guy screwing her it reminds me of the movie High Fidelity where John Cusak is laying in bed trying to sleep and he says something to the effect of, "I keep on thinking she is having the best sex of her life that she never had with me". Just remember all might not be so well with her. Girls have a way of trying to cut your balls off when with a "new" guy.

Suicide Hearts Are Wild
by Perry inheart transplant patient kills himself in same manner as donormonday, april 07, 2008. hilton head island, s.c. a man who received a heart transplant 12 years ago and later married the donor's widow died the same way the donor did, authorities said: of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.. no foul play was suspected in 69-year-old sonny graham's death at his vidalia, ga., home, investigators said.
he was found tuesday in a utility building in his backyard with a single shotgun wound to the throat, said greg harvey, a special agent with the georgia bureau of investigation.. graham, who was director of the heritage golf tournament at sea pines from 1979 to 1983, was on the verge of congestive heart failure in 1995 when he got a call that a heart was available in charleston.. that heart was from terry cottle, 33, who had shot himself, berkeley county coroner glenn rhoad said.. grateful for his new heart, graham began writing letters to the donor's family to thank them.
in january 1997, graham met his donor's widow, cheryl cottle, then 28, in charleston.. "i felt like i had known her for years," graham told the (hilton head) island packet for a story in 2006.

Be Fair = Witnesses are NOT a cult!! What about Christians or democracy?
by Witness 007 inpeople like to throw around the cult word when describing the watchtower society.
but look at the definition of "cult" and you will see it applies to any system of thought concieved by an individual or group to control others.
are christians a jesus cult...yes.

Watch out 007 your not drinking this forum's Kool-Aid! I don't consider them a dangerous cult, so therefore I don't think they are exceptional. Thus I will not call them a cult anymore then I would call Baptist a cult. Yes I know what your thinking, and have heard it before so spare me.
