Exactly. In Ohio, you can be fired, at will, for any reason the employer thinks is appropriate, as long as the reason doesn't violate a law such as EEO. An employer can legally fire you because they simply don't like you. If, on the other hand, they say they simply don't like you "because" you are African American or Jewish or Armenian, that's a whole different scenario. Most people who find themselves in this type of situation are living paycheck to paycheck. They don't have the time or resources to really fight for much of anything, with the exception of unemployment because the burden is on the employer.

That depends on the circumstances. If the company failed to disclose the performance standards or raised them after you had already agreed to one particular level, there is a chance the state might rule in your favor. For example, a couple years ago, I accepted a job with a very large company. This particular company "batch" hires. (There were 30 in my particular batch.) After orientation and training that lasted about a month, they suddenly revealed that you must maintain "quotas" for 90 days or you will be terminated. The quotas are just out of reach for a normal human being. A carrot on a stick. What happens, then, is that they have a fresh group of recruits who work their butts off trying to hit the quotas. In my particular group, there were 3 of the original 30 left standing at the 90 day mark. We were shown the door shortly after that because we couldn't continue to maintain that level of performance. Meanwhile, the company had "batch" hired 2 more groups that were following in our footsteps. The hive is always buzzing with new worker bees, determined to make quota that wasn't revealed to them until they had been there a month. So, even though I was terminated for sub-standard performance, the state ruled in my favor and granted me benefits.

You could cite "needs and wants parallel" as a reason for dismissal. I needed a job but they didn't want me.

Well, I think my point in starting this thread is that this phrase, or some variation of it, is really something that originated in the early days of The Way and found its way into mainstream Way vocabulary like a catch phrase. I believe there were probably a lot of people who automatically parroted this phrase/idea as if it pertained to some specific, personal event or circumstance. It became a sort of a declaration of indebtedness to the organization.

I think the context is concerned with people who had connections to New Knoxville, Ohio, not Patagonia or Bora Bora.

Maybe somebody could petition them to bring it back. Advertise it as the greatest thing since kool-aid was invented.

Eggs-actly!

At least they put PFAL in mothballs. That's a step in the right direction. Take the poison off the shelf. Keep it out of the reach of children.

Yes, I also remember the term "afterglow" being used for small crew meetings to unwind after limb meetings and so forth. What a sick bunch of puppies.

I think I'd rather have a job installing screen doors on submarines.

Well, ya know, "lambano" sounds an awful lot like "la-ballo", which, of course, sounds like "ball".. And we all know what you do with balls. You throw them, toss them, hurl them . Their presence becomes "manifested". Therefore, to "lambano" means to "manifest". So, it's a no-brainer that every time we see the word "lambano" im the scriptures, it's a reminder to us to speak in tongues. And not just speak in tongues, but speak in tongues "much" on a daily basis. Otherwise, we couldn't get revelation and we would have to "lambano" the whole thing out.

Here's the cat who inspired Chuck Berry to write Johnnie B. Goode

Having recently completed an exhaustive (and exhausting) word study, I have concluded there is absolutely no record in the Bible of anyone named Skippy. Nada, none, no one, zip, zilch, ZERO.

Gee, you left out the one about Christ being seated at God's right hand. ("God must be sitting on his hands.") Heard all these arguments years ago. Still sounds like trying to manipulate scriptures to suit an agenda.

It's literary license.I think she is referring to "dedications". The average non-Way person would not understand what she was talking about if she called them "dedications" so she called them "baptisms" to make the text flow. To an outsider, it would convey the same type of event.

I don't understand what you mean.

Interesting observation. Some people consider this to be one of the earliest examples of Rock & Roll (1944)

Education and military service When he was eleven, Robertson was enrolled in the preparatory McDonogh School outside Baltimore, Maryland. From 1940 until 1946 he attended The McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He graduated with honors and enrolled at Washington and Lee University, where he majored in history. The claim that he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa is not substantiated by the Phi Beta Kappa membership directory.[20] He also joined Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Robertson has said, "Although I worked hard at my studies, my real major centered around lovely young ladies who attended the nearby girls schools."[21] In 1948, the draft was reinstated and Robertson was given the option of joining the Marine Corps or being drafted into the army. He opted for the first, which allowed him to finish college under the condition that he attend Officer Candidates School (OCS) in Quantico, Virginia during the summer.[citation needed] He graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree and was the first person to be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant at a graduation ceremony at Washington and Lee.[citation needed] In January 1951, Robertson served four months in Japan, "doing rehabilitation training for Marines wounded in Korea".[citation needed] In his words, "We did long, grueling marches to toughen the men, plus refresher training in firearms and bayonet combat." In the same year, he transferred to Korea, "I ended up at the headquarters command of the First Marine Division," says Robertson. "The Division was in combat in the hot and dusty, then bitterly cold portion of North Korea just above the 38th Parallel later identified as the 'Punchbowl' and 'Heartbreak Ridge.' For that service in the Korean War, the Marine Corps awarded me three battle stars for 'action against the enemy.'"[22] However, former Republican Congressman Paul "Pete" McCloskey, Jr., who served with Robertson in Korea, claimed that Robertson was actually spared combat duty when his powerful father, a U.S. Senator, intervened on his behalf, claiming that instead Robertson spent most of his time in an office in Japan. According to McCloskey, his time in the service was not in combat but as the "liquor officer" responsible for keeping the officers' clubs supplied with liquor. There he also was known to drink liquors himself and to frequent prostitutes -- consequently, he even feared that he had contracted gonorrhea.[23] Robertson was promoted to First Lieutenant in 1952 upon his return to the United States. He then went on to receive a Bachelor of Laws degree from Yale University Law School in 1955. However, he failed to pass the bar exam,[24] shortly thereafter underwent his religious conversion, and decided against pursuing a career in law. Instead, Robertson attended the New York Theological Seminary, and was awarded a Master of Divinity degree in 1959. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Robertson (no mention of a doctorate)
