    Matthew9969 got a reaction from Patiently waiting for Truth in IS IT GOOD FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE THE BIBLE ?   
    Man you need to think outside of the jw box once in a while. Not all priest did horrible things, but since the RCC would not allow the general populace to read the bible, or become literate, some of them used that liberty to do unbiblical things, you need to do some research outside of the watchtower publications dude.

    Matthew9969 got a reaction from Patiently waiting for Truth in Speaking of college - I wouldn't have a degree were it not for JW's and regular pioneering   
    I agree, some professors get paid way to much to be bags of air.

    Where would we be now if the Roman Catholic priest were still the only ones allowed to have bibles, after all they did use this tactic to commit horrible crimes against humanity.

    I'm sure you would've been able to do college if you weren't a jw, millions of people do it all the time. But it is interesting to see again the religion is being given the credit and not Jehovah.

    Why would Jehovah send the holy spirit to an organization that would reject him like the govern body has?

    Again, I have never seen aggression as your describing. and are you aware the watchtower is claiming they are clergy in court cases?

    Matthew9969 reacted to Patiently waiting for Truth in Jehovah’s Witnesses given €12,000 fine for incitement to hatred against ex-members, 16 March 2021   
    https://www.brusselstimes.com/news/belgium-all-news/160238/jehovahs-witnesses-given-e12000-fine-for-incitement-to-hatred-against-ex-members-ghent-correctional-court-unia-shunning-policy/
    The Jehovah’s Witnesses in Belgium must pay a €12,000 fine for the systematic and “disturbing” exclusion of ex-members who have left the organisation, the Ghent correctional court ruled on Tuesday.
    The court ruled that the non-profit association behind Jehovah’s Witnesses is guilty of inciting discrimination and hatred or violence against former members, reports the Belga news agency.
    “The Jehovah’s Witnesses’ shunning policy cuts to the very core of relationships, and the victims suffer both physical and psychological consequences,” one of the lawyers of the civil parties said during the trial last month.
    He claimed that once the members had left the group, they were disowned and completely isolated socially, by order of the organisation.
    The Ghent public prosecutor’s office summoned the Jehovah’s Witnesses for four charges: incitement to discrimination on the basis of religious belief against a person, and against a group, as well as incitement to hatred or violence against a person, and against a group.
    Jehovah’s Witnesses state that ex-members should be shunned like the plague,” said lawyer Pieter-Bram Lagae, who assists the ex-witness who started the case.
    “He used to sit on the Jehovah’s Judicial Committee and help decide on exclusions, until he realised it was going too far,” Lagae said. “We act, for example, for a man whose wife is still a member, and he is ignored in his own home. Or a woman who has never seen her father since the exclusion.”
    “This is just the start,” former Jehovah’s Witnesses member Patrick Haeck told Het Nieuwsblad. “We are going to the European Court. This has to stop everywhere.”

    At 51 years old, being born a jw and attending dozens of conventions and attending several different denomination over the past 30 years, I get what you are saying. Thus is why love the spiritual family I have now that is spread across different churches.
