It wasn't supposed to be like this

molybdenum

This is not the way it was supposed to be

gray hair and pains in the knee

You will not grow old or suffer from age

that’s what I saw printed on the page

No need to save for your old age

or look for a job with a nice big wage

just be out on service and pioneer

make that your most challenging career

The New System will come so very soon

quicker than the next New Moon

It’s round the corner, can’t you see

Have faith in the WT society

But time has gone by and nothing has come

I get the feeling I that I’ve been done

Now I am old with no money to spend

It really is driving me round the bend

Can I hope that the end will be soon

Can I still give that idea room?

It ‘s round the corner, can’t you see

But this is not the way it was supposed to be.

I'm sorry.

It is not right around the corner, open a new door.

I put a melody to that and it makes a pretty good rap song.

MolyB, We little people are not evil.

It is hard for good people to even think evil.

The Bible Student's and then Rutherford's Jehovah's Witnesses have built their Billion Dollar Plus Real Estate Corp. on the backs of good hearted people, who believe fantastic promises, as truth.

Why do 7 billion people NOT want to have anything to do with JW's?

Human beings die.

Simple.

There are 8 (eight) men in the WHOLE WORLD that say otherwise.

Because 8 men tell big whopping lies for their own benefit, many, myself included, have led wasted lives.

I have clothing, food and substance to survive and live.

How are you doing?

It is a crime to humanity how WT treats it's drones.

I am so glad to be out.

Just Lois

Thanks for playing. WT just laundered a billion in real estate. Ching!! Ching!!

This poem pretty much sums up the whole JW life. Well done!

Hi Moly.

once you know its not a round the corner, you can begin to value the present and everyone in your life RIGHT NOW a little more.

They will never be the perfect, forever youthful, coiffed, buttoned up smiling people you see in the magazines.

Love them, before the WTS empty promise of living forever steals one more moment from this, the only life you have.

I took out a life insurance/retirement fund as soon as i could in a now past job. Some dared to say some crap about living on both sides and not trusting in jehovah. Yes the funds could be confiscated or lost or whatever. But all the while i was there it covered my family in the event of my death and will give me a good supplement to the govt pension when i qualify for that.

Old age pensions in Australia are like many countries barely enough the fund makes a big difference.

I always thought the millions now living thing referred to people if JC comes back and sets his kingdom into place. How is it that so many took it so literally? Whatever the parameter there the wts must have known that lots and lots of folks were off on a wrong curve unless it was I who got it wrong... whatever.
