  Do you think those at the top realise that it's their fault - suicide as a result of being disfellowshipped?

  i have been stunned to hear of two suicides in our area recently.. this adds to the other 3 that i have known of from the past.. the two recent suicides resulted from 1-the person being gay & hearing a horrific talk at the kingdom hall & 2-the person with problems who was disfelloshipped & then took his life the next week.. it astonished me that jw's in general don't rebel against this sort of thing.

  it's an appalling lack of support which leads people to feel distressed, abandoned & unloved.

  how the witnesses in the locality can just sail on without giving the cruelty of these measures serious though is beyond me.

  @ jwfacts .. you made me wanna google it.. I read about this in the 90's here's what I found..

  Beware of the “The silent complainer..”

  I cannot claim this phrase as my own. I wish I could give proper credit but I have since forgotten who coined the phrase. It always rings in my head. In business and in personal life. The “silent complainer” will knock you upside the head and you won’t know what hit you.

  What is a “silent complainer”(SC) you ask? The SC is someone who receives unsatisfactory service or a poor quality product and gives little to no indication. Unhappy with a smile. The great nice customer who accepted the little mistakes you made then one day quit using you. THEY NEVER SAID A WORD!!! There are those that truly are nice customers and understand mistakes happen. There are also those that scream at the littlest thing. And there are those that just leave.

  How to identify them. The first step in knowing how to identify the SC is to know your product and what customers expect of your company. Knowing when your product is not perfect is the point when the hairs on the back of your neck should stand up. The customer knows something was not correct. The classic SC response is “ Don’t worry about that.. its ok.. thanks for trying” if they say anything at all. The truth is that if you are dealing with a SC it is not OK!

  the other side of disfellowshipping

  2. beliefs

  personally i hate it when you come face to face with someone disfellowshiped and you can't do a simple acknowledgement or greeting.

  they are obviously making an effort to be there to be reinstated.

  as i recall back in the 1970's they did allow this but what is always the case some took advantage of this provision and in engaged in full blown conversations.

  yes! I saw an article about customer service... something like 90% of people who recieve what they perceive as bad service don't complain to management

  They just leave and don't come back... it's a silent complaint.. it was awhile ago .. can't remeber all the details .. but it rings true

  If there is a God why didn't he sign our DNA

  by scotoma in

  todays scientists can and do insert their trademark into dna.. why couldn't jehovah anticipate scientists learning this technique and stumbling across a strand that says "human by yhwh"?.

  that would have answered a lot of questions.. he could have even included a model number human2.0.

  “Finally, from what we now know about the cosmos, to think that all this was created for just one species among the tens of millions of species who live on one planet circling one of a couple of hundred billion stars that are located in one galaxy among hundreds of billions of galaxies, all of which are in one universe among perhaps an infinite number of universes all nestled within a grand cosmic multiverse, is provincially insular and anthropocentrically blinkered. Which is more likely? That the universe was designed just for us, or that we see the universe as having been designed just for us?”

  Should you pay the Obamacare penalty or buy health insurance in 2014?

  by moshe in

  i am already reading that some plan to drop their medical insurance coverage on january 1st and just pay the penalty-.

  an individual with $30,000 annual income would pay a $300 penalty in 2014, $600 in 2015 and $750 in 2016.. an individual with $50,000 annual income would pay a $500 penalty in 2014, $1,000 in 2015 and $1,250 in 2016.. an individual earning $100,000 a year would pay a $1,000 penalty in 2014, $2,000 in 2015 and $2,500 in 2016.. here is your insurance subsidy calculator-.
