Obey at all costs. And costs there will be plenty.
How practical was the advice given in 1969? People were instructed to sell out so they could pious-sneer during their last remaining days in this system until 1975. Did that work well? Just ask anyone that did as told and is still in debt to this very day, nearly 40 years later.
And it is no better now. When I was in, I remember not being encouraged to save anything for retirement, whether in paper or physical assets. Instead, they were to donate the funds toward the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund. This is still going on to this day, with many a hounder insisting that investing in assets is "too worldly" or betrays a lack of trust in joke-hova. Too bad they are going to find out the hard way where the "joke" part really comes into play when they reach age 70 with no savings, no assets, no silver or gold, no nothing and have to work until they are more than 90. Who is going to take care of their health at that point?
Children have it little better. They are usually told not to listen to music or watch videos that are entertaining--albeit that today's music and TV has little entertainment value compared to only a few years ago. They can't listen to a song that has the word "damn" in it for "swearing". A TV show that has a little violence is banned, even if there is good entertainment value. And they are supposed to stick out like dorks in school. No participating in parties. No class trips. No dating. No association with classmates except to witless to them. Being tired every test day because of the boasting session the night before. No careers in the world. No nothing.
Did this work for those living and receiving this rubbish advice in 1969? They were told they would not grow old in this system; many are pushing 60 years of age today. And they listened--no retirement anything. Silver and gold, or paper assets--no nothing. Instead, they are going to be destitute in their old age. It will be no different for children that listen today than for those who listened in 1969.
