I refer to the thread started by NikL quoting the daily text. In which the comment said:
Kindness can help you to deal with a conflict of loyalties.
Can anyone here (or there), give a verifiable example of when Watchtower corporation has ever shown 'kindness' when it wasn't for some selfish gain?
Nope.
Nil.
Yes of course I can! Ummm ... errrr .... hmmmmm .... let me think...
Gulp. Actually I mean no.
Actually, I think it starts with mercy and recognizing the mercy others have shown us and to show it then to others. Since the WTS and its upper members cannot admit to making specific mistakes and apologizing to the individual(s) they have hurt, they don't feel they need to be shown mercy by others, thus they never recognize how to show it to others.
Great thread and comment punk!
Zero
And what about the requirement that jokehovians have to forgive intentional acts intended to ruin their lives under threat of having their own "sins(??)" not being forgiven? Is that kind?
I have to admit that when I was a Jobo, I was under the illusion that the WBT$ sent aid to poor countries secretly because they were so kind. It would seem that they only send help to their own, all paid for by their own and not by the corporation itself.
Is that fair to say that?
Yes, Punk, I'd say that's a fair statement indeed. Great thread. Totally agree. WT leaders are in it for selfish reasons. As Blondie wrote - WT leaders never admit to mistakes , so never feel they need to be shown forgiveness, so they are very harsh and unforgiving to their JW rank & file members. The message the rank & file get is just give, give, give ,more time & money to " kingdom interests " . Translation WT Society corporate leaders interests
