  Is it the truth?

  Is it fair to all concerned?

  Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

  Crisis of Conscience stolen from my local library

  i finished reading combating cult mind control a few days ago.

  i went to the local library to try to get a copy of crisis of conscience.

  i had the librarian search for it, and it's not available in any of the municipal library's branches (i live in a fairly large city).

  Right on!!! I got everyone wound up with this thread. Now, let me try and not kill it.

  Evolution is the basis for modern medicine, modern zoology, modern biology. Living things evolve. One scientist says that evolution is a theory like 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom make water is a theory. Except that there is less proof that the 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom are water. (a rough quote- I'll get the source if challenged) Its the basis for the concept behind vaccines, its the basis for much of our understanding of ecosystems.

  A religious idea!!!???? I couldn't believe my eyes.

  I had no comment but WTF!!??!! Religious?? Like calculus, gravity, relativity, geology, chemistry, etc, etc. Comments like that should wake someone up. They don't need apostates, just keep spewing that kind of nonsense and people will leave in droves. (ok probably wishful thinking)

  highlights from a recent letter addressed to our boe:.

  -- a married couple is leaving bethel, assigned to serve in our congregation as special pioneers.

  -- the society will pay them $600 per month, and in addition cover their health insurance .

  There is a lot of bitterness out there. Some have even considered lawsuits. All it will take is the right one to get pissed off enough.

  i just heard this - anyone else?

  i was curious as to the reason people were given for this.

  and i can't help but think of those that will be trying to get a job in this economy, with few skills and probably no college education.

  Are there particular types of positions targeted for downsizing? It would seem that technology upgrades would make some of the old printing, packing and shipping jobs redundant.

  Yeah- the following positions are targeted: whiners, people who miss too much work, people who are not zealous enough, etc, etc. Seriously, there is no "technology" component- that would indicate organizatonal intelligence- which is non existent. Just a chance to get rid of non-performers. Sucks- because the whole culture of Bethel encourages non-performance.
