Dear God,
Make this my request: If it's true that you have a new system for mankind in which things will be better all around, I'll take any job available just to be part of your just new system.

everybody pictures the new system as a paradise, but i'm sure that there will be lousy jobs, just like today.. well, some will be garbage men, picking up the trash house to house.
not too pleasing for a new system job.. name other lousy jobs some will have to do even in the new system.

maybe they'll take a cue from president bush and get involved?

The JWs do a marvelous job at helping out... but only their own.
It's their modus operandi, and it's not going to change anytime soon. Their way of rescuing their own is absolutely superb! Even more so if the person happens to be very active and considered a 'pillar' in the congregation or if you're 'well connected' with the heavy ones.
Well, looking at it positively, at least they offer some sort of help if only to a chosen few. If every group or religious organization would offer the same sort of help, the problem wouldn't be as much for the government.

hey guys,.
just thought i'd let those interested know what the north texas part of the org is/isn't doing to help in the relief effort from a first hand account.. first of all, we all know that the society isn't helping anyone that isn't a dub, maybe unless they are a serious bible study or something.
that being said, by monday we had several refugees camping out at different brother and sisters' homes, most of whom they were already friends with or were referred to by mutual friends.

a number of people of late have noticed the concilliatory stance i take towards the jehovah's witnesses -- both as individuals and even as an organization.
they have quite rightly pointed out that i appear to "defend" the organization and it's members from attacks that i feel are unwarranted or unnecessary.
too often, i feel, this forum becomes a gripe session in which mighty ex-jw throngs feel the need to paint the organization or individual jws as totally devoid of any good qualities whatsoever.
Going off the deep end again B.?
Take it easy!

your opinion, please......the publications emphatically state that not only are we supposed to hate the wickedness of a sin---but actually hate the person!!!
does this not violate the law??

Scully,
After posting here and reading the majority of posts here, I'd answer your question with a big and definite "YES! Ex-JWs for sure incite hatred towards JWs."

Disfellowshipping does not incite hatred. The person is just no longer part of the group, that's all.
I don't recall ever hating a disfellowshipped person. I only used to ignore their presence when I'd bump into them along the way.
No big deal, really.
