[till]

One of the window cleaners who does quite a lot of the shop calls in my town is a jehovah witness on seeing him cleaning windows one Saturday I said " you should get a proper job" He replied " that's what everyone says when I go door knocking for the brotherhood"

 

[Part Timer]

The lad I worked with was a Jehovah, very pleasant young lad until he got into trouble with the Elders! Mucking about whist married, went rapidly down hill after, and if he hadn't left would have sacked him. Working in a call centre in Edinburgh now earning half as much and working twice as long!!!!!!!!

 

[SkulBlaker]

There's a JW boy in the new estate I'm in. Now I'm new to Windows trad like you know, so not the fastest out there but getting quicker, this boy must have taken a good 45 minutes to do a 4 bed detached wimpy home. Not a great deal of windows in it but the speed at which he was going was ridiculous. Windows were pretty bad and no frames wiped down either, will see if he's still around after the winter.

 

[WJCN64]

I am a Jehovah's Witness and proud of it.
And no I don't have a showboat round (unless you call 12hour days taking it easy /emoticons/wink.png) or wear nylon slacks... I nearly spat my coffee out laughing reading that stereotype:laugh:

haha me to brother, i dont have a show boat round either!

Hey ! I used to be Like "speedy Gonzales " on the job , i guess being a JW has making me a total slow-Joe ...

Glad the mystery is Solved ! Couldnt figure Out what happened to me ! :rofl:

 

[SkulBlaker]

Haha, I'm not saying he's slow due to being JW just that he's ridiculously slow, and the fact that I'm slow is saying something. Each to their own with regards to religion in my view, I don't believe in any of it, think it causes more issues than resolves them but again that's my view on it.

[Dave B]

I personally am an atheist and have my own opinion of religion but each to their own

I did a lot of work in the past for a company near bishops Stortford run and staffed by Plymouth Brethren

It's not my cup of tea but i can tell you they never messed about with payment etc and always treated me right and i still speak to a couple of them now when i am up that way

 

[TolishAPurd]

Not in anyway trying to start a religious debate or anything, but this is just an observation I have made for almost all the religious people I have worked for. They are often the most awkward, and least trusting people. Seems paradoxical buts its just what I have encountered. They are not the sort to just dash out of the house and pay you while you are half way round. They want to make sure you have finished the job first. One particular one that comes to mind has just been ditched.

 

[Dave B]

The brethren guys who i worked for are straight as a die

They expect what they ask for but treat them properly and they pay promptly and don't mess you about

The warehouse they run they pay quarterly profit share bonus

The guys i know who work there got 3k each the other quarter

That's 12k a year in bonuses

Agreed I work for a few brethren and they recommend you to their friends families - all of them sound as a pound - except I have to turn radio down as they don't want kids to here bad stuff - which is fair enough

 

[Dave B]

They don't listen to radio. .watch tv..read anything not written by them..

Must be dead boring working in the warehouse..i just used to clean a lot of their windows..

What have you been reading?

 

[Dave B]

I am talking from experience of working and talking with these guys

Not jw's

Plymouth Brethren..had a deep proper talk with some of them and discussed it all

 

[Dave B]

This is from a telegraph article about them

The Plymouth Brethren was started by law student John Nelson Darby in the early 1800s after he broke away from the Anglican Church in Ireland. A gathering in Plymouth, Devon, in 1832, gave the sect its name, but 10 years later, the group itself split into 'Exclusive Brethren' and 'Open Brethren' - the former being much stricter.

A relative of Jennings's taught at an Exclusive Brethren school and the director used him to build a clearer picture of life behind closed Brethren doors.

"I found out loads of little details," Jennings says. "The Exclusive Brethren shun pretty much everything that could be a distraction from serving God, including television, film, literature and pop music. They are not whacky, but they do take their beliefs very seriously and follow a strict moral code.

"When I was growing up in the 1980s, video and computers hadn't saturated our lives like they have now. It must be much harder to 'opt out' these days. You'd be constantly battling against the evils the rest of us indulge in.

"There are quite a lot of ex-Brethren, casualties I suppose, families that have been pulled apart. Once you've left that's it: if your family are still in the Brethren you're not allowed contact with them."

One example is David (not his real name), 56, who left the Exclusive Brethren in the early 1970s after a new leader began introducing stricter rules. The leader's behaviour also raised alarm bells.

"In my first 10 years the Brethren were a happy group," David says. "Friends and relatives who were non-Brethren were allowed to stay with us and we could eat with them, but in the early 1960s an American named Jim Taylor forced his way to the top and began 'separation'."
