Anybody work in an IT help desk position? How stressful is it?
by DanTheMan inmy boss is encouraging me to apply for a help desk position that has recently opened up at my place of work.
it would involve taking inbound calls from both customers and coworkers regarding our software products (i work for a textbook publisher, many of the books we publish come bundled with various cd-roms).. the job would be a significant pay increase from what i make now, which is the primary incentive.
however, the position is at a different location from where i currently work, and would likely triple my commute time.

the whole article is a good read and provides a balance between those who feel there is no "cultic brainwashing" and those who feel we can all make our own decisions based on the social sciences.

The Loaded Language of the WT - Conscience Matter
by jgnat inwhen a contract is drafted, it starts with a glossary of terms, so that both parties know exactly what they are agreeing to.
the wts, however, has created it's own terms with special meanings, which completely change the meaning of their direction.
a consequence of this, is that to the uniniaiated, their materials appear fairly innocuous.

some unimportant random thoughts & reflections
by DanTheMan into be honest, i feel like i barely qualify as an ex-dub.
wasn't raised in it, no relatives in it, and aside from my first one or two years of being involved with it, i didn't believe much of it.
but at the point where i first started having doubts creep in, instead of investigating those doubts, i turned off my brain.

Refuting Faithful Slave Myth Accusations.
by integ inagain, playing devils' advocate here.
i brought up to a staunch witness relative some reasons the annointed remnant, or however she wishes to regard them, are not the faithful and discreet slave mentioned in matthew.
i brought up the fact that practically all the core doctrines that the witnesses were teaching in 1919 when the "master arrived and chose the watchtower as his instrument" would be considered as apostasy today, by the witnesses.
