Is buying stocks the same as gambling? No per GB/FDS.However,are the being truthful or are they using this as an excuse/justification of making big money on the stock exchange.As we know many have made big bucks (I think this incudes the WTS) at the expanse of others(losers).The WTS defends the stock market as being a part of a company and treat it no different than an employee working for (part of ) a company.(see past wt/a).
Help me understand this statement from Awake."No human knows the exact time for Armageddon,so a christian is obliged to make plans for the months and years ahead until the battle of Armageddon brings on the end to this world.People who are not successful financially-live beyond their means and are victims of materialism because they strive for what they cannot afford"
Those who have been in the truth a very loooooooooooooooooong time will remember the wise wisdom of the GB/FDS although I'am not sure if they were called that back there.

PS:So way back many many years it was aright to save for the future,because the end was when.I forgot with all the foreclosers and low real estate and all the money that the WTS has on hand they should get a whole lot of cheap land at the expanse of some poor souls.
