Growing Old in this System of Things

Nosferatu

The other day, I had to make a stop at a personal care home to do something work-related. While I was waiting, who do I see walking through the hallway? Why, it's sister K! WTF is she doing there? She's not even dressed in Kingdom attire! Instead, she's dressed in a night gown pushing a walker. She must live there now. Armageddon is sure taking it's sweet-ass time getting here. I wonder if anyone drops off the magazines for her.

Things have sure changed since I got out 14 years ago. Everyone got old in this system of things.

Snoozy

I noticed that at Hubby's memorial. I saw some of the witnesses that went to the hall I did and was surprised how much they had aged. So many heart attacks and cancers..

I always thought in a perfect witness world we should help one another..even letting someone down on their luck live with us..even supporting them if need be. Seems the WTBTS didn't have the same view I did even tho they taught it.

Snoozy..who was once living in a fairy tale world..

OUTLAW

Better to live in a System of Things..

Than to live in a WBT$.."System of Stupid"...All Frigg`in day long!!

Try telling that to those who were college age in 1969. They are now getting up to their 60s, and the witlesses who are in their lower 60s are getting cancer and heart disease. And, part of it is the stress and lousy diets that are speeding up their aging.

This is sad we were commenting to someone the other day how years ago those that died were seen by us as ancient, really old, they were grandparents and great grandparents. Now we seem to lose parents, siblings, aunts and uncles. Death is getting closer and more present the loss deeper. Some of those who are dying were the very ones who thought they would never die at all and they are not prepared. It must be hard for the elderly at the hall with everyone watching them like hawks seeing if they will make it or not.

It would be nice if people were to wake up to the lie before it was too late life is short death is for a very long time.

i think we all have to relize we are all going to get old and DIE.i was drawn to jws with the hope of never getting old or dying.we need to enjoy our life as a christian and be of use to others.faithful christians were promised life in heaven with christ.our generation is not special.there will be no rapture or divine restoration of the earth in our lifetime just like there wasnt in russells or rutherfords day..

Heaven

All of my relatives born on or before 1914 are dead. The WTS has not done well by its people. The sheeples are ill prepared for retirement and the health problems that come with aging. They never planned for any of this. And now it's a sad reality they have to deal with.

I see how some Jw's I know are aging quickly and still probably think armageddon is just a few years off. It is actually sad to see how many have wasted their lives doing this.
