I have heard this as a title for a talk at a Grand Boasting Session, as well as the theme in the Puketower. But what does this mean?
The Tower renders this as meaning balancing theocraptic activities. They always seem to mention balancing street work, door to door, not at homes, calls, and studies. They also balance meeting attendance with service, private research (always from Watchtower sources), prayer, and meditation (that is, their definition of meditation which amounts to daydreaming about life in the so-called new order according to their doctrine).
Has anyone else ever noticed that they rarely mention other activities, except to reduce or eliminate them? Notably, they mention work, recreation, and entertainment in a derogatory sense. To balance your life, you reduce or eliminate these items while increasing the theocraptic items in balance. To me, that is UNbalanced.
What about "simple"? They are trying to purge everything except theocraptic things from your life. Simple means not getting involved in education, entertainment, and work. Your life revolves around one thing only: The Watchtower Society. You give up that Game Boy; Pokemon time now goes into service. Give up the TV, and you can spend more time studying [Watchtower sources only] and service. Unplug the computer, and get still more time in the field circus. Cut back on work, and you can pioneer. These other things are taking away from building up the organization and enriching the leaders.
This also leads to stagnation. The misery is so dumbed down now that there is absolutely no room for personal expression, which means dehumanizing people who engage in it. You are supposed to spend all your time with fake happiness going from door to door, taking every door in order, and placing the items that the Puketower Society specified using the words that they set out. Simple, sure--but not fulfilling. You never get any credit. You can never do enough. You never get to use your brain. You never create any value for mankind, or anyone else. No room for come-and-go. No nothing. This is a recipe for stagnation.
Live a balanced, simple life. Give up everything so you can enrich an organization that's already a monster that threatens human freedom. Stifle human desire. Think of nothing except doing the work of placing those Craptower magazines and crapts. We don't give a [swear word] what problems this causes. Just do it!
Or, live a balanced, unsimple life. Prune out those dead works (like placing magazines that teach others to place more magazines). Go back to school, get a better [unscriptural] job. Learn to use a computer, even if it is going to cost you money and mistakes. Experiment with hobbies, until you find one that you could spend all your time on and live happily doing it. Do research on your own, just because. This will force you to use your brain. Even reading a book that you don't really believe in, and then reading reviews that are against it, will force you to think and form your own opinion about it. The more of this kind of complication in your life, the easier a time you are going to have in thinking. At the very least, you will prune the deadest of dead works (note that the Tower is always telling people to prune out dead works): Meetings, studying [Watchtower sources only], prayer [for Jehovah's name, Jehovah's Tyranny, and Jehovah's will], meditating daydreaming about the Tower's counsel, and field circus are the deadest of dead works. Let's back off from those works.
