Sorry to disagree LITS - I've just counted 54 instances of "undeserved kindness" in that article!
The following article only mentions it 34 times.
I need to get out more, I know.
just a side note that i found interesting and sort of upsetting, the wt that the jw's will study on sunday the 18th of september has the words undeserved kindness mentioned 50 in just 19 paragraphs.
really they need to beat it into their people that they are very worthless and do no deserve anything from god?
so much so that they use the words over and over, don't they.. lits .

The money which the org has fleeced from J.W. congregations worldwide - that's undeserved!
well, it's been a very long road, so far, but, for the greater good.. appeal decision posted today.. http://www.canlii.org/en/ab/abca/doc/2016/2016abca255/2016abca255.html?autocompletestr=highwood%20congr&autocompletepos=1.
Wonderful! Hope the d/f'd person is ultimately successful.
The key phrase in the court's judgment is "natural justice."
It is neither "natural" nor "justice" in how J.W. sinners are treated and punished by their so-called "shepherds."

By extension.......
He could be a contender - for the G.B.
playing devil's advocate here.... what's the difference between the gb changing bible interpretations compared to parliaments all over the world changing laws?
although the us constitution (=bible) remains untouched, congress passes i don't know how many new laws every year.
and of course people are expected to follow them.
Politicians don't claim a monopoly on "truth" and to be God's direct channel of communication on earth - but the org/G.B. does!!!
Also, truth is truth - it doesn't change.

"It seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today. Why is that important? Because the correct identity of the great crowd (Christians????) was revealed to God’s anointed servants on earth in 1935. (Exactly how was it "revealed"? By Madame Zelda and her crystal ball at the local fairground? Go on, tell us!) If one of the 24 elders was used to convey that important truth, he would have had to be resurrected to heaven by 1935 at the latest. That would indicate that the first resurrection began sometime between 1914 and 1935. Can we be more precise? (No you can't, because fantasies are fantasies, and can't be precise))
12 At this point, it may be helpful to consider what might be viewed as a Bible parallel. (Here it comes....) Jesus Christ was anointed as the future King of God’s Kingdom in the fall of 29 C.E. Three and a half years later, in the spring of 33 C.E., he was resurrected as a mighty spirit person. Could it, then, be reasoned that since Jesus was enthroned in the fall of 1914, the resurrection of his faithful anointed followers began three and a half years later, in the spring of 1918? That is an interesting possibility. Although this cannot be directly confirmed in the Bible, it is not out of harmony with other scriptures (examples??) that indicate that the first resurrection got under way soon (how soon?) after Christ’s presence began."
Apart from anything else, in paragraph 11 the self-proclaimed "faithful & discreet slave" is unashamedly claiming that it may be receiving divine truths from a dead person who has been resurrected to heaven. This makes the G.B. "detestable" in their god's eyes - not just ours! Deuteronomy 18:11,12
..........according to these wtbts's literature quotes:god’s word is heavy with doom, announcing christendom’s imminent destruction; .
christendom is a fake "kingdom of the heavens" and is full of badness; .
christendom, professing love for jesus, actually rejects him; .
@ Vidiot - Isn't it inciting hatred?
After all calling every religion in Christendom "apostate" is a pejorative and derogatory slur.
Would the WTBTS apply such language to Islam? (silly me, rhetorical question!)
May the U.K.C.C. would be interested.

When Christendom is wiped out, individuals in Christendom will not escape unless they forsake her.
Christendom deserves the coming destruction;
Keep preaching without letup about the destruction of Christendom;
Christendom’s clergy spearhead the persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses;
No wonder Christendom will soon come to her end;
Christianity was eclipsed by a counterfeit called Christendom;
Interestingly, the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses is a fully paid-up member of the Christendom club - according to every authoritative definition of the word "Christendom."
The term 'Christendom' is universally defined as, Christians collectively, the Christian world, Christianity - except by the WTBTS/Jehovah's Witnesses who translate it as being "all religions which claim to be Christian, but are false." J.W.'s claim that they are not part of Christendom.
Not only do they perversely translate wordings in the Bible, they also want to bastardize dictionary definitions.
Just a side issue - can a registered charity (in the U.K.) make such vitriolic statements about similar charities, with impunity? I've never heard Catholics or Mormons publicly say such nasty things about J.W.'s
i got in an hour metal detecting this evening and found this almost immediately.. it is a silver penny of henry ii minted in london by "davi" between 1180 and 1189. this adds a king i didn't have in my collection.
i now have the series of henry ii - john - henry iii - edward i - edward ii - edward iii.. i now need richard the lionheart to fill in the gap.
he was the brother of john and reigned after the death of henry ii.
What a great and exciting way to relax - and exercise!
Just curious, have you ever scoured beaches, or is it not worthwhile?
