sister can email me to let me know if a employer calls, so i can drive over and find out what's up from there.. i work at wal-mart and alot of us have our hours cut to 20+ hrs a week, so this is hurting me fianacially.. job hunts is hard since i am deaf since most employers seems to prefer hiring a hearing person.. i know of a deaf friend who is unemployed and he went thru 20 job interviews in a month.

none of them ever called or emailed him to say he got a job.. family can't help since they all have their own problems to deal with.. i can post all the info you need if anyone needs it, such as my landlord's address and my morgage address if anyone wants to mail a check directly to them.

Erased ,edited what ever you want to call it,the information is no longer there.Did you figure out we do research on this board,and your story wasn`t going to work once you were found out?..When I read you were a single deaf mom I was begining to have some sympathy for you..When I read another thread you were on ,I was suprized to see other posters refer to you as a male..You couldn`t stick with that story because you already left a trail..It was easier just to edit or erase (what ever you like) the deaf mom line...OUTLAW

Imbue has stated that I have always been male from the beginning if you had read her post. I suggest you stop your skimming habit and read every single post on this thread and including read Imbue's post just up a few above.

Your story is full of holes and a basically a troll. So, you won't be hearing anymore replies from me to you again.

Heading for bed since I got a full day ahead of me.

seems that the page view out number the posters who actually reply to the thread.. my guess is that there's alot of active jws who are still active within' the so called "truth" are visiting this forum and reading all the threads.

i don't blame them for not wanting to reply for fear of being found out.. how many of you were still active when you found a forum like this one and lurked around for a long time?

how many of you left the organization as a result of reading this forum or other forums like it?.

Have you had your KH picketed on? If so, what did their signs say?

12) Also try the department of labor in your county because they may have jobs posted in their office or on the net.

Ok will try that too.

Thanks

If you want to, you can e-mail your resume to me. I have had a lot of experience in helping people improve their resumes. No charge, of course.

Resume emailed. Thanks for the kind offer.

Looking forward to the new improved one.

1) Yizman has posted that he is male on three different boards.

See OUTLAW? I told you so.

2) I can understand some people being suspicious of you because you're not the first to try and ask the forum for money.

And I am sorry I did that. I apologize to all the readers for offending you.

3) You can apply for welfare and they will help you if you are telling the truth about everything. However, they may place a lean on your trailer to get the money back, if it is sold. I doubt you could rent a place to live for less than $179.00(you claimed this is your mortgage.)

Rent on the lot is $230.00 a month, Moble Home payment is $179.80 a month. Hope that clears it up. You're right though, I may not find a place any cheaper than that. I will try the Welfare office.

4) Many deaf persons are highly intelligent and some are college educated. Your claims regarding his intelligence are insulting and ignorant. I happen to know many deaf persons that are very intelligent. Most deaf persons have partial hearing, as Yizman claims he can hear some loud noises and very FEW are stone deaf

Thank you for pointing that out.

5) It isn't that easy to prove discrimination in hiring practices.

That is the biggest problem I face all the time when I apply for a job. Employers will NOT tell you in your face they're not hiring you because of your disability. Thus finding proof of discrimination is very very difficult.

9) Everyone can't do house cleaning and everybody shouldn't do it either. I recommend someone from the KH to people I knew and they didn't know how to clean.They just took the people's money and didn't do any work. *embarrassing*

My house is a little messy, I'm not a perfect housekeeper either. LOL

6) There were many other good suggestions, such as Community Services, which may help you find employment and assist you with your housing situation.

I am looking into all the suggestions offered to me.

7) Try applying to large companies because sometimes they are looking to meet quotas in hiring the disabled. They may be more willing to give you a chance to work. Other possibilities are local colleges may need help in food service or maintenance. Try applying to school districts for custodial work because, once again, they may need to hire someone disabled. You should take advantage of any opportunities you may have available. Does you bank know you are deaf and looking for work? Ask your bank if they need someone to do cleaning or mainatence. A housekeeper, I knew at a hospital, would work nights polishing the floors at banks.

Applied to large companies as well. Nothing yet from them.
Didn't know colleges could do that. Will look into that.
Ok, I didn't look into schools for jobs, that's a suggestion I will do.
Yes the bank knows I am deaf and I have summitted my resume to the bank where I make my mortgage payments to. Have applied at hospitals too.

Hospitals and Nursing homes are a great place to look because they always need help, either in the kitchen, food service, feeding clients, cleaning and laundry. Also large laundry service companies are a place that will hire anybody willing to work for almost nothing.

Hospitals I have, not nursing homes. I will do that. There is a laundry service in town, I will hit that.

8) Contact the NAD and ask them for if they know of any programs to aid the deaf with education, job training and jobs. http://www.nad.org/

Ok

10) You really need to go back to school and get some sort of job training suitable to your needs and abilities. You need to acquire training so valuable that prospective employers will not care that you are deaf.

Well, if I ever get my mess straighten out, I'll try to go back to school.

11) Sell whatever you can to pay your mortgage because I hear the internet connection sux in card board boxes.

No kidding. I don't know what I have here is considered sellable other than my computer and I can't part with that since this is my only communication tool. I have some of my mom's valuables dating back in the 1920s, I don't know how much they are worth today, but at the same time I hate the idea of having to part with them since they are what few memories of my mother I have. She died in 1993.

Elders Spying on JWs

by Yizuman in

i hear crazy stories about elders spying on the congregational members.

i even hear of stake outs on member's homes.. anybody have any stories about elders doing crazy stuff that you have seen them do or even heard about from others?

meaning elders trying to catch members being in the wrong?.

Yizuman

I often wonder whatever became of that sister- she attended only about 2or 3 meetings after the annoucement and disappared into thin air

Well, I hope she didn't kill herself after all this happened.

If you had seen the video "Witnesses of Jehovah" I think it was called, a teenager confessed to having sex with an older married woman and the Elders df'ed him. Then he killed himself by drinking a very powerful poison that put him into a coma and later died.

I've heard stories about jdubs who got df'ed later committed suicude.

Check into your local Comunity Action Agency. (CAA)
I work for this agency and we offer assistance with Rent if someone has an eviction notice, food assistance, heat bills etc.

I have done 2 weeks ago for electric and heating fuel. They paid $50.00 for electric and I don't know how much they're going to pay for heating fuel and how long it's going to last. They told me they don't do rent. But yours does? Odd. Wonder if state to state varies in rules? Can you check Noblesville, IN for me. The guy there doesn't seem all too friendly. I got intimidated by his "attitude" so I didn't dare ask what his problem was.

I do need to find help for rent and mortgage (got it spelled right this time! ). Food is sorta ok here at the moment. Got cans of soup and canned potatos. The 13th is coming up soon, pardon me while I freak out.

I've lived here in my moble home since 1995 and I would really hate to lose it.

Plus this is not good for my depression at all. I am flat out scared how I will react if I got envicted. I'm taking Paxel, but don't feel it's doing it's job well enough. Just wish I'm not depressed at all.

My phone may get disconnected this week (much to the hopes of the readers who have been mean to me I bet), I really need to keep my phone line open in hopes I get an email from an employer who wants to interview me. I need a much better job than this sucky one I am stuck with. I guess I should be grateful I have a job at the moment, but it sure doesn't keep up with ALL of my monthly bills at one time. *sigh*

Here's to the hopes of tomorrow.

Yizuman, I used to administer tests to the clients of the Rehabilitation Services Comission in Flint, Michigan. The Michigan School for the deaf is in Flint,

I have heard of it.

so I had the opportunity to test many deaf clients. As a group, they scored below average on reading tests. Perhaps, I did not see a representative sample of deaf people, since those who went to RSC were fairing poorly, job wise.

Like I posted before, not all deaf individuals got the same kind of education like I have. It really depends on the school's education program, the teachers they have and the deaf student's willingness to learn.

For example, here in Indiana at the Indiana School for the Deaf has done a poor job educating the deaf student and the score is not very good there.

In Illinois, at the Illinois School for the Deaf fares much better than the school in Indiana. The one HUGE difference is that Indiana allows ASL to be used on campus. While Illinois disallows ASL on campus. They enforce SSE instead (Sign Straight English). The difference between ASL and SSE makes a difference in the language skill and it helps re-enforce the read and writing skills. ASL allows the communication to take short cuts in sentences.

Example: Here's a sample of a sentence. "I have visited the Sears Tower. I took a ride in the elevator and took a look around at the scenry of the city of Chicago at the roof of the Tower."
In ASL, they say, "I finished touched Sears Tower. I ride elevator, look around Chicago top Tower." ASL allows the conversation to be cut short and to the point. They cut out unneccessary words in a full sentence. ASL doesn't use words like "and", "the", etc.
They also show expression of emotion through facial expression, body language and the hands expressing what emotion they were feeling.

The IL School for the Deaf does not like ASL and feels that ASL discourages the learning of the full use of the English language. In other words, learning the English Language in it's entirety.

Granted, I'm not 100% perfect in mastering the English language and I make plenty of mistakes in spelling certain words.

I never did test anyone from the deaf community that had the writing skills that you do.

You haven't tested me. LOL. You only did the test based on the area of which you live. If you want to, you can travel all over the US and test every deaf student in every school you can find and make some comparsons based on state and city.

It seems to me that you have the intelligence to get a good job eventually.

Been looking since January to replace Wal-Mart. Also looking for a PT job as well. I've had no luck as of yet. I thank you for the kind comment about my intelligence.

I have one question. Why did you get so far in the whole before you did anything?

Stupid pride until I get into a serious trouble. Happens to everybody, including people in the hearing world.

There are food stamps, welfare assistance, catholic charities, soup kitchens, and yes, even dumpsters that have good food in them. Well, whether you like us or not, you certainly have received a lot of suggestions re: how to get help. I hope you get on the stick and utilize some of them.

Dumpsters? Ew, no thank you. Gross.

I don't like ignorant people. I do like people who accepts me as who I am regardless of my deafness. I don't or at least try not to judge people. My ex-fiancee was overweight and had diabeties. I didn't judge her for who she looked on the outside. I only cared about who she was on the inside, i.e. her heart and mind.
But if I were to suddenly judge people, I hope to do it for the right reasons. If I get stupid and judge people for the wrong reasons, well, I'm gonna get stupid and know it's going to come back to haunt me.
But I'm human like everyone else on this forum. We all make mistakes from time to time. I've had plenty of mistakes made in my lifetime and there will probably be more in the future to come.

Like on this thread, I got stupid by panicking and requested help for money. It came back to haunt me and I learned a big lesson. Luckly for me, a few saw my mistake and corrected me. Even helped me understand why it was a mistake and what I should do in the future. Thanks to those people who cared about me.

I will get on the "stick" (weird idiom use here, hmmm, new to me) and make use of the suggestions I have been giving first thing in the morning. Please pray for me and wish me luck.

Thank you.
