[edit] Merge tag

As this is little more than a stub, it should go into the article it references. MSJapan 01:57, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

No, it explains what a Honored Queen is. This is an encyclopedia, not a ad for Job's Daughters and way too much is being put in here. Going to the main web page for IOJD a person can find out more info, if they desire.

Yes, I totally agree with you. This is an Encyclopedia, not an advertisment web page for JDI. Wikipedia has what they call a NPOV (neutral point of view) so only information that would explain what something is should go into a page. Although most people editing on this page have well intentioned meanings, they should leave the page alone! This is not the place to show your pride in the organization.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Wally11 (talk • contribs) 2006-03-27

I add to the above comments that although it can seem biased people are entering here to explain what Job's Daughters is and although going to the main web page for the organization may be the way to learn more most people that come to Wikipedia do not bother to go to outside links; they come here for a quick lesson or to have a question answered.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.116.130 (talk • contribs) 2006-05-06

Yes, that makes sense as most people will probably not bother to check further by going to the official web page for Job's Daughters unless they were looking for something specific to a state or country. Still, I do agree with the other comments that should not be a booster type page but should just give information.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Wally11 (talk • contribs) 2006-05-12

I strongly disagree with regard to your negative comments about not boosting the Order in this page. What Wikipedia wrote about the Order did not boost the Order, but simply stated what the Order is about. I'm sure if you looked up the Girl Scouts on this website you will find some biased input. Furthermore, if you are allowed to bash what has been written and "Okayed" for this website, then we should consequently be allowed to debate your comments. Why else would they have a discussion page? Small minds only want what's black and white, this is not the way to true enlightenment.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 26.180.173.184 (talk • contribs) 2006-12-05

For whoever made the comment about promoting this page and biased info on the Girl Scouts site - Wikipedia should be neutral. If any article starts looking like an ad, it should be edited and anything opinion-based should be deleted. This article looks relatively OK to me, so I'm not sure if this was a past issue. NickBurns 18:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I am confused, where is the boosting. Every word that was written is as true as can be. As A member of Jobs Daughters I can tell you with full sertenty that every word is the truth about Jobs Daughters. Go to any other offical Jobs Daughters web site and it will tell you the same thing.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.118.129.22 (talk • contribs) 2008-04-20

[edit] IOJD/JDI

I reviewed various state websites. Washington's site states:

Welcome to the Official Web Site of the Grand Guardian Council of Washington Job's Daughters International

Illinois has "Job's Daughters International" in the graphic at the top of the page, and

This is the official website of the Grand Guardian Council of Illinois

at the bottom. Oklahoma tells us that

The purpose of Job's Daughters International is to promote love and friendship among young women.

and further states that

This website is not the official Supreme Guardian Council's International Order of Job's Daughters website and information appearing here is the property of the Oklahoma Grand Guardian Council.

So, it's clearly not the case that only states directly under the Supreme Guardian Council use the JDI nomenclature.--SarekOfVulcan 02:59, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I added the full quote from Job 42:15. That is what is used in Job's Daughters, not just the first half. Hope that helps! Beki346 10:03, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed that a few states are using the JDI and changed text to reflect that.

[edit] Cleanup

I hope I'm using the talk page right, and if I am not, please let me know.

I have added the 'cleanup' tag for this page, because it seems just a tad bit messy and disorganized to me. Aesha 20:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested merge

Do we really need seperate articles on Rainbow, DeMolay, Job's Daughters, and Triangle? Why not merge them into one article on "Masonic Youth Organizations"? Blueboar 19:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I think we do need the separate ones: combining them would be too unwieldly, in my opinion.--SarekOfVulcan 12:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I think this is a resolved and dead issue at this point, and we won't be merging. The MYO article actually got AfDed. MSJapan 19:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of famous Jobies

Can we come up with some citations for that, please?--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 21:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
