What would you do to diffuse the situation and meet the needs of your job?

The main thing is to stay calm because if you get flustered everyone else will too. I would take care of the crying child first. Get him set up in the health room with a wet cloth on his forehead and call his parents. Next I would ask the parent if he would like to make an appointment to talk with the teacher/principal/counselor (Whoever seems appropriate). Be polite but firm about not engaging in the conversation. I would be answering the phones when possible but I would let it go to voice mail if I had to. I would have the attendance reports finished and available to turn in. Mostly it is about prioritizing and keeping things as calm as possible. In my opinion the people come before the phone and the attendance report should have ben finished and ready to turn in.

Son wants to meet bio-Dad...he doesn't know bio-Dad is a rapist?

Well, what type of relationship do you have with the father? Obviously not romantic or sexual, but are you on good terms, decent terms, or hateful terms? If you're on good terms, then I don't see the harm on him meeting his biological father, although the explanation should wait a bit. However, if you can't stand him, then it probably won't be a healthy situation for your son to be in. Being caught between two spiteful adults that he knows are his parents can cause psychological and confidence issues as he gets older, especially since around puberty is when kids are at their most confused and least confident stage. If you're completely at a loss, I would suggest seeking out a psychologist. Besides giving advice, he/she could also help facilitate the introduction if that's the route you decide to go. Either way, good luck!

I have a problem with my Kingdom Hall. Can any JWs help?

They cannot have the air conditioning on because the roof is too low, LOL Well, I am sure that no matter what you are going through the meetings are informative and wonderful to associate. So, short of turning out the lights and letting the fire-flies in also, you should just deal with it. Sorry I am not feeling understanding today. :)

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to use the words for baptism given by Jesus Himself?

Jesus instructed all His followers to baptise: "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit". However, JWs (who claim to strictly follow the Bible) refuse to use those words. This means, of course, that their baptisms are completely invalid and the only meaning they have is to make the recipient a member of the JW organisation. Do new members of the JW cult actually realise this? Are they told by JWs that the baptism they are going to receive is not biblical, does not use the words Jesus gave, and is therefore invalid as a proper baptism? If they are not told this, and they are led to believe they will be properly baptised, surely this is a case of abominable deceit?

Jehovah witnesses, is it true that...?

I befriend many that are not JW. we talk to everyone. many witnesses play sports and they even watch sports on television. we can safe the life of others. the kids do not go straight to the kingdom hall after school. that is a lie. many go to college. we have doctors, nurses, teachers and lawyers and to become one you have to go to college. that is up to each person to decide to go to college or not. we do question the watchtower and the bible if we have a question. Jehovah wants us to question if we do not understand. people know nothing about us and spread lies about us.

You're passing a gorgeous girl in the mall, you're with one friend, what do you say?

This is a hard question, it's very hard to approach a girl you've never met. I feel like it would be the best if you were with people, and she was with people too. Less awkward, and you'd get a better chance at talking with her. Comment on what she's doing, what she's looking at-- and take it away from there!! And also, try not to just go up to her. Walk by her, or get near her. Hope this helps! :)
