-=. harassment at work -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Once I. stopped watching television and listening to the radio at the end of
1990, "they" had. to find other ways of committing abuses. So they took what
must be. for them a tried and tested route; they get at you by subversion of
those around you. Since they wouldn't be able to. do that with my family or
friends, that meant getting. at people in the workplace to be their
mouthpieces and do their dirty work. for them.
They supplied my employers in Oxford. with details from what was going on in
my private life, and what I and other people had said. at my home and
accommodation in Oxford. So. people at work repeated verbatim words which
had been said in my. home, and repeated what I'd been doing recently. Often
the most trivial things, the ones from your domestic life, are the. ones
which hurt most.. One manager in particular at Oxford continuously abused me
for ten months with verbal sexual abuse, swearing,. and threats to terminate
my employment. After ten months I was forced to seek psychiatric. help and
start taking medication, and was away from work. for two months. I spoke
later with a solicitor about what had happened at. that company; he advised
it was only. possible to take action if you had left the company as a result
of harassment, and such. an action would have to be started very soon after
leaving.
Over a. year later the same manager picked on another new worker, with even
more. serious results; that employee tried to commit suicide with an
overdose as a result of the ill-treatment, and was forced. to leave his job.
But he didn't take action against the. company, either. Abuse at work is
comparable to that elsewhere in that tangible evidence is difficult. to
produce, and the. abusers will always have their denials ready when
challenged. And even if a court. accepts what you say happened, it still
remains to prove that abuse. causes the type of breakdown I had at the end
of 1992. In a recent case before a British court,. a former member of the
Army brought a case against others. who had maltreated him ten years
previously. Although. the court accepted that abuse had occurred, it did not
agree that depressive. illness necessarily followed, and denied justice to
the. plaintiff.

reason in the convictions they have received; they are afraid that they
have no illumination above the natural force of their own faculties: and
many make that an objection against the spirituality of their
convictions, that it is so easy to see things as they now see them. They
have often heard, that conversion is a work of mighty power, manifesting
to the soul what neither man nor angel can give such a conviction of;
but it seems to them that these things are so plain and easy, and
rational, that any body can see them. If they are asked, why they never
saw thus before, they say, it seems to them it was because they never
thought of it. But very often these difficulties are soon removed by
those of another nature; for when God withdraws, they find themselves as
it were blind again, they for the present lose their realizing sense of
those things that looked so plain to them, and, by all they can do, they
cannot recover it, till God renews the influence of His Spirit.
Persons after their conversion often speak of religious things as
seeming new to them; that preaching is a new thing; that it seems to
them they never heard preaching before; that the Bible is a new book:
they find there new chapters, new psalms, new histories, because they
see them in a new light. Here w

[114]Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, V. viii. 14. "God was glorified, and
the Scriptures were recognized as truly divine, for they all rendered the
same things in the same words and the same names, from beginning to end, so
that even the heathen who were present knew that the Scriptures had been
translated by the inspiration of God. And it is no marvel that God did this,
for when the Scriptures had been destroyed in the captivity of the people in
the days of Nebuchadnezzar, and the Jews had gone back to their country
after seventy years, then in the times of Artaxerxes, the king of the
Persians, he inspired Ezra, the priest of the tribe of Levi, to restore all
the sayings of the prophets who had gone before, and to restore to the
people the law given by Moses." This is Pascal's rendering into Latin of the
passage from Eusebius of which the last lines are in Greek, above.
