Even if you're got one foot in the grave, you'd better be working your ass off (for free) for the slave.
If you're feeling stressed, stop everything else in your life and concentrate on the meetings and ministry because those could never be the cause of stress. Oh no. It's probably all those pesky holidays and recreation stressing you out.
Now, can we all spell C.U.L.T?
I didn't read the article, but I imagine it says that you don't need extra money for your financial stresses. You just need to learn to keep your "eye simple" and do away with overtime or college training for the kids. You should consider pioneering as a goal for you or your kids. The stress comes from wanting to keep up "in this system of things" and not from getting in your hours.
Yep, and these gems are written by guys who have no stress, they don't have to worry about bills, doing the garden, healthcare, laundry, cleaning their room, the list goes on, what monumental arrogance and ignorance they demonstrate with this sort of crap.
Good points, Wobble.
These guys don't even stress about cleaning their own living space.
What a privilege to clean the toilet that a Governing Body member uses.
About 10 years ago, I remember a MS from my Congo getting all giddy because he had the privilege of pissing in a high-ranking bethelite's toilet...
I haven't read the article but it sounds like the same old stuff.
It is amazing how the jw religion continuously hits the common people with unrealistic requests, and how sucessful they are !
Looking back, I am amazed at how much foolish actions I did in the name of worshipping the governing body and their so-called
arrogant "channel to God" attitude.
I recently had the opportunity to get together with some of the young people from my old hall who walked away from all of the mind games and I was really amazed at the pure anger that many of them expressed. But it all came from the unrealistic expectations forced on them from the wts which was filtered through their parents.
SO much anger, it is really shameful what this religion blindly expects its followers to do.
Oh yeah, and it also said "some among us" feel discouraged because the system of things hasn't ended "as soon as we expected." (p. 25-6) Are those in the Writing Committee really including themselves in the 'we'?
To me it was just another article put out by blind guides blaming their followers for a waning faith.
Looks like nothing's changed since I went.
"How grateful we should be..."
