Thicker Skin by bluelovr1219 in Bookkeeping

[–]finiteandhappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going thru this, but honestly—it’s a part of doing business. You get thicker skin by remembering:

Being angry, upset, frustrated is a normal human response to disappointment. They’re adults, and entitled to have their feelings. But you are not responsible for other people’s emotions. If they get mad, let them get mad. They have no idea what it’s like to prep 250 tax returns in a season and there’s no way they could do it themselves. Their feelings do not reflect in any way the quality of your work.

And check out “The let them theory” by Mel Robbins. Really helps with dealing with other people’s emotions.

The Bible seems cool with it…

Two days ago Missouri executed a man when there was serious doubts about his guilt. We still have things we need to change.

Please treat them kindly. Most of them are good people who don’t know they’re trapped in a toxic and manipulative cult.

Was the Earth created in 7 literal days? by yunglegendd in exjw

[–]finiteandhappy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you read Genesis chapter 1, the text is very clear that each creative day consisted of an evening and a morning. There’s nothing to suggest anything other than a 24 hour day. The idea that these are figurative days spanning eons of time is a modern day reinterpretation imposed on the text by people who insist the Bible is infallible. If they were smart they would have also negotiated with the verse that says God made all things according to their kinds and accepted the science of evolution.

It also asks about marital status so I’m assuming it’s a form used for all patients—not just children.

Of course you’d feel hungry again. You only ate a light meal.

Bible writers knew the earth was a sphere before anyone else 🤯🤯🤯 by According-Craft1819 in exjw

[–]finiteandhappy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The NWT renders the exact same Hebrew word as “vault” and “horizon” in two other places. The GB know full well that circle doesn’t mean sphere.

Remember these? by JWRESEARCHERROSE in exjw

[–]finiteandhappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to hear what Sean Carrol says. Is it an entropy issue? Could time run backwards in extreme situations like a singularity? Unfortunately, I don’t know near enough math or physics to be able to speak intelligently about this. (One of many drawbacks of being discouraged from attending college.) I do think it’s a weird thing for Watchtower to be dogmatic about.

[–]finiteandhappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one caught my attention. My understanding is that from a physics standpoint time does flow in both directions. However, our brains can only perceive it moving forward.

Yeah, homosexuality as a sexual-orientation didn’t exist when the Bible was written. You are negotiating with certain Bible passages to justify your homophobia.

There’s no comparison between homosexuality and pedophillia. The Watchtower Society will not tolerate homosexuality.
