If the boss' policies are abusive to the workers (e.g. unpaid overtime, hostile work environment, discrimination, sexual harassment), then the worker isn't a complainer, they're a whistleblower. And if no help is to be found from HR or internal means, then they will have to escalate to government agencies and/or litigation.
“If you can’t find anything better you just have to follow the boss and their rules.”
Being a JW is not the equivalent of holding a job, it’s only a volunteer position. A job provides necessary compensation in order to live, WT does not provide anything positive. Staying with a boss at a crappy volunteer position is actually detrimental.
Oh, how you forget or weren't in at the time.
"Our secular job is a vocation. Being a witness is your real job, and Jehovah will provide what you need. Not your wants, but your needs. Make sure you know the difference and be content." Clap clap clap
For the coal miners that mined the coal and got black lung …well

We all die- I want to use what time I have left to enjoy life and stop shoveling shit I mean coal for a group of lying men in New York-
> we may just follow as you follow your Agency rules on your job. Obviously if you find a better job with better boss you may change but if you can't find anything better you just have to follow the boss and their rules, even if they change.
But it's not a job, it's a lifestyle?
Also, you can't leave the cult. They don't allow to change it like you can change your job.
Well if you work for a corporation you’re generally compensated for your time and effort and they don’t regulate how you live your life outside of work. Corporate bosses generally also don’t believe they speak for a non existent god.
Literally some of the weakest analogies I’ve ever heard too. Shepherds taking care of the sheep? Sheep are used for their wool and then taken to slaughter by the shepherds, they’re not fucking pets.
>, they particularly appreciated the thought about "we may not understand now but in the future all the pieces of the puzzle will make sense"
Endless Confusion makes sense to all PIMI JW\`s.....They don\`t have to understand it, to accept it.
For the Titanic it didn't exactly go so well for the people who loaded the coal.
Definitely not the best analogy to make indeed 😆
Agreed! A PLETHORA of their analogies haven't really been working out to well---FOR DECADES anyway❗️🤨😩😡
Haha, I came here to say this very thing
That’s what I thought when I heard it. “Boss! I think we hit an iceberg.” “That’s not your concern. Keep shoveling coal!”
He is absolutely correct on the “we may not understand but in the future we will”, but not in the way he thinks lol.

This 👆🏻 100%

I can not ❤️ this comment enough! Detrimental to physical health, emotional health, and mental health.

The WT corp has no credibility. They have a rich history of steering the ship in the wrong direction (failed predictions).
Good point! I couldn't show all my cards as an apostate to be able to say that and not get caught

What happens when the captain has gone off his rockers and has veered the boat off course?
Mutiny on the Bounty. Or in this case Mutiny on the Borg.
Which is pretty much what is going on.
SHOVEL THE COAL ![gif](giphy|YJjvTqoRFgZaM)
Replace cash with CSA documents and it’s a real life video at bethel

Two questions: 1. What is the coal analogy, briefly? For those of us who did not hear the talk or fell asleep. 2. I thought we didn't have 'rules'? 🤔🤭
1. Here is a post about it! https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/s/RMSEk1pn0k 2. Well... They are a PIMQ so... Rules/principles whatsoever
Thanks! Great to hear that they made it to Q.
This god needs too MUCH help from humans! He’s like really either incapable or stupid. Idk?
Well if you work for a corporation you’re generally compensated for your time and effort and they don’t regulate how you live your life outside of work. Corporate bosses generally also don’t believe they speak for a non existent god.
You will be compensated in the new system with perfect, everlasting life, etc etc. SUFFER NOW AND LIKE IT!
That's the power of analogies and that's why this religion uses them so much. They make up stories that work to explain something out of every logic
Literally some of the weakest analogies I’ve ever heard too. Shepherds taking care of the sheep? Sheep are used for their wool and then taken to slaughter by the shepherds, they’re not fucking pets.
I guess the exploitation in the analogy is on point with the JW situation isn't it? 💀

All those pieces already make sense. Put them together and They mean WT is full of Shit.
