As an employer myself, I think it would be nice for any prospective employee to tell me up front what their religious restrictions are regarding their job.
And should you not hire them for whatever reason, you can easily have a lawsuit on your hands for religious discrimination.
"Your Honor, my client was denied the position after they informed the defendant of their religious beliefs"
This is exactly what I meant as a No Win in my comment to JC above.

JT,
The employer is at a no win here.
If they ask her to share EQUALLY the workload, dressed EQUALLY as everyone else, thy are at fault.
If they exclude her from the participation, seems like the other employees' EQUALITY is at danger, one might argue.
What if ALL employees simultaneously developed a problem with the attire? Where does that leave the employer?
All this over the whims of some old farts in Brooklyn.

1000 hours a month?
It neatly lines up with the decimal number system.
For all they know, Jehober may prefer the binary system and the requirement could be 1024 hours (2 10 )...
What a total load of crap. Sales quotas disguised as some noble cause.
Caveat emptor.

this is an assertion leveled at me recently.
the speaker has the advantage over me in that i was born and bred in the borg and have only recently jumped ship.. what, can i ask would your responce be to this?.
Simply ask why do they feel this way. When they give you the usual "signs of the time" earthquakes, crime, immorality, disease, hunger. etc bullshit, methodically debunk each one of their points. There is plenty of material here and on jwfact.com, freeminds, etc for that.
That is, of course, if you want to be labeled as an apostate .

after reading on the way out's thread about his mom explaining the generation overlap to him it kicked this idea into my head to make this thread .
i thought it would be helpful to see if anybody here has had jw relatives or friends try to explain this " generation overlap " theory to you as a faded or inactive witness and what happened in the conversations.
so please feel free to post your experiences.
Mr. Flipper,
Getting back to you about a week late (how rude of me), re:Mr & Mrs Smith movie. The main charachters (Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie) are assasins. They are married and discover that they both are hired by competing agencies to kill each other. And then the usual Hollywood bull....
I thought it tied with Mad Sweeny's comment about families stayning in the borg for each other, while really wanting to be out and if they can talk openly they'd leave the cancer...

No doubt her Attorney thought she had a good case or a lawsuit would not have been filed.
Paleeaze. An attorney will file anything if it had even a zero chance to stick. It is a numbers game for them too...
Edit: I think Moshe nailed it. High visibilty too - mall around the holidays...
hey folks, does anyone know which wt article talks about how babies will be killed as in the ones that were killed at sodom and gomorrah and the flood?.
i'm drawing a blank completely what article it was in.. thanks in advance everyone!.
Okay I am told at those rates of growth it will take 336 years (2346 AD) until everyone in the world is a Jehovah's Witness.
Wrong, SBF!
If we apply the same logic and growth assumptions to other religions, the world will be all muslim way before 2346 AD!

is it true that the current thinking of jehovah's witnesses is that you can "fornicate" with your marriage mate if you engage in sexual activity that is not approved by the writing department at bethel?
what are some examples?.
ultrabimbo.
Welcome to the board, ultrabimbo!
There are numerous references about the oral,anal, etc sex even between married partners. They even go as far as saying that you are committing fornication the moment you THINK about those (I believe if your thoughts are directed towards someone else than you marriage partner).
Anyway, loving provisions by old perverts, meddling in affairs they have no business meddling into....
thinking about the article a year ago, 6/15/09 watchtower page 23 para 15.. if you are put on the spot, or even in casual conversation if asked if the f&ds, anointed, gov.
body ect.
make mistakes, have holy spirit, are spirit directed ect.
Wait, I just got it!
"They do not believe that their being anointed..."
So they HAVE the insight, they just DON'T BELIEVE that they have it. Evidently, out of humility and not to take from Jehovah's glory, you know...
