WooHoo - I got the job, time to leave the borg
by Leander in
1. jw

my current job is due to be phased out within the next few weeks and i had been reluctant to make my announcement until i secured a new position.

i figured just in case my wife went beserk and left i would'nt want to be stuck looking for a job and carrying all the bills.. anyway i went on an interview yesterday within the company and this morning i got the call that if i wanted the job it was mine, so naturally i accepted without hesitation.

so now my next step is to get a second car within the next few days, that way i won't be stuck at the house when my wife is at the meetings or field service.

Being truly free

some of the messages on the board have prompted me to think about this a bit, seeing as how it appears to be a theme that resurfaces every so often.

actually, one of the reasons i'm posting a separate thread is that the other ones which brings this up is usually about something more specific and has gotten really long, and to be perfectly frank i don't have the time to read through it, but i think the issue is an important one.. we can be free from the wts physically, but a certain pattern of thinking sticks with us a bit longer as i'm sure many of us are well aware.

naturally, when you're out you're going to go out into the world and explore, doing this and that, the "normal" people stuff you might say.

good evening all, .

this is just some more "stuff" printed in the kingdom ministry by the jesus-led incorporated printing business, for all the publishers who work for them and contribute to making them worth multi-millions to read and follow before attending an assembly/convention.. 5/99/ km.

lately, building managers and food vendors in the facilities where our conventions are held have observed some brothers leaving the auditorium to purchase food from street vendors and fast-food establishments nearby.
