surprisingly in spain, a large quantity of bethel volunteers (nice to words to say workers) have received their letter telling they are not anymore required.
in this country, government obliged bethel to give social rights such as basic social security (doctors, etc..) to the volunteers as they understand that it is a business relationship.. all of them have been pushed to sign a letter stating they renounce to their work and then go outside bethel with not a single right (unemployment, etc...).
it is really unfortunately but silly from bethel office to arrange it this way.
hey're a disgrace of a printing company. They want all the benefits wider society provide but refuse to acknowledge any social responsibility themselves.
THIS ^^^^ sums up their whole attitude to everything - from donated blood fractions to human rights law when it benefits the org
i was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.
" who talks like that?
they must be relics of the fred franz era.
Anything with " ONES" in like "HONEST HEARTED ONES" especially "THESE ONES". Ughhh!!
Evidently!!!
Really, then......( some bs)
Never would we want to......( some bs)

SPIRITUAL FOOOOOOD ( especially the way David Splane says it)
GOVERNING BWOHDY (the way Toni morris 3rd says it)

This system of things ( what a mouthful) I like ' the man' better
i was once a person who believed in god destroying 7 billion people so a few people could live in paradise.. when the penny finally dropped and i realised what as a jehovah's witnesses i was really praying for , it made me feel sick.
what is attractive about a person that prays for this world to end .
i was ashamed to have been a witness deeply ashamed .

FBS...Go on!!!tell us the joke..we're all growed up!!
so things have been calm so far...knock on wood!!!
but i was thinking today...a month ago in one of our arguments.
i told her the 144000 was not to considered a literal number.
i am just wondering here: almost every single quote in jw literature for which a source can be found, is taken out of context..
personally, i have checked almost every quote in the 5-questions brochure, some on dating and the cross in reasoning book, and some in magazine articles i found interesting..
just checked the "they envisioned a universe subject to whims of gods" quote in the feb 2016 awake..
It's always amazed me just how deceptive the WT writers are with their quote mining, out of context quotes and other devices used to mislead...there is literally almost never an honest and appropriately used quote in their work.
It leads me to suspect they are either insane or in complete denial , are pathological liars or they cannot honestly believe the garbage they print..its impossible, surely???
in my old congro the p.o's wife came 1st before anyone and i mean anyone!!.
karter..
Love that story Blondie...good for you!

Basically..your neighbour to most JW's are the wealthy or influential/ top of the pecking order in the cong,healthy young-ish ( because they are useful to the org). Anyone else is worthless...literally.
Unless you get the rare genuinely good souls who despite Borg brainwashing still see all humanity in need, like the good Samaritan, as their neighbour. They are usually disparaged by the org for being like this.
Doctrine does NOT make you a christian...love does.
the so-called 10 commandments are a post-biblical construct.... there is an elohist list at exodus 20 and a yahwist one at exodus 34 that contains such gems as "you shall not cook a kid in its mother’s milk.".
any intelligent adult could create a more useful list of ethical precepts before the end of a coffee break.. it is interesting to compare the satanic temple's seven tenets.
i think you might agree that it makes yahweh's rules look like they were written by a bronze age power-hungry, misogynistic priest.
, and that's accusation. They stand collectively as an adversary and accuser of God. The mother's milk is life to her young. That the Lord would see the horrific ramifications of this and forbid it recognizes the sacrifice of life in both the mother and the kid.?
Sorry but this is a terrible defence of a rule obviously made up by superstitious shepherds...' Horrific ramifications ' by a god that revels in ' blood sacrifice' to atone for another set of arbitrary rules .
