  Bethel doesn't look after it's own

  by ekruks in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it's not only springsteen's latest song that is inaccurate, but bethel certainly doesn't look after it's own.. i know it's very easy for us to what to criticise bethel after our experiences, but if we are reasonable with the wbts and approach this with an open mind, can we conlude it's fair how bethelites are treated?.

  i know with any company if an employee breaks the rules, they have to leave.

  being fair, i can't wave a finger at bethel for telling those who break rules, sin, etc., to leave.

  Casually mention that in the current economic climate only an idiot would give up a good job and move

  to parts unknown in hopes of finding another good job.

  I think the July 15, 2013 Watchtower may cause them to think hard when it is studied at the hall.

  Suspicious asks:

  Do most here feel God exists? What's your guys view of the bible?

  I believe that God exists.

  I believe that the bible is God's message to humans in an effort to reconcile our relation with him.

  Are we not already dead to them? Yes.

  Have we not been labeled apostate by them? Yes.

  Have we not been shunned by them? Yes.

  Do you owe them any assistance? No.

  Let them take care of their own.

  At least he's still talking with you, wha happened? which is more than I can say for a former

  friend of over 30 years.

  He and I were friends before either one of us were baptized.

  I had a similar experience about blood with him.

  It was the last time we talked, almost 10 years ago.

  He said that it didn't matter if JW's die for refusing blood because

  Jehoobie will resurrect them anyway.

  I just bit my tongue and shook my head.

  You just can't fix stupidity.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as some of you know several weeks ago i was disfellowshipped for several reasons, but primarily my thoughts on the organization.

  last night i had a very interesting conversations with my wife after she came back from the meeting and several things jumped out at me that made see even more clearly how sick this religion is.

  first of all, several months ago we attended a wedding of a friend.
