I saw this thread had been bumped up since I commented last so I'll reply. Thanks for the comments !
TIKI- Very good points you make. The WT Society always tries to incriminate it's lower class " economically speaking " Witness members by calling them " materialistic " for putting jobs first just to survive - but truth be told the WT Society is FAR more materialistic than any of it's rank & file JW members. I mean they've turned into a multi million $$$ real estate company for Christs sakes. It's ridiculous that they criticize their members.
SCOTT77- You hit the nail on the head- the WT Society IS hypocritical and have always been a organization that tells it's members " do what we say, not what we do ". Same is true of their view of materialism. WT leaders are guilty of gross materialism.
HOSER- Thanks for the input about the missed WT meeting. Don't sweat it bro. I'm glad you missed it !
TRAILERFITTER- I know of MANY former JW's of when they were in the cult were made to feel guilty for working aNY overtime. I had an elder tell me I was being " materialistic " because I was picking up more business customers in my self employed business. I just ignored him. WT Society representatives try to micro manage EVERY detail of Witnesses lives- including earning a living. It's disgusting. It's none of their business HOW much someone works to provide for their family ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
