  The Awake Oct 2015 is now up on JW org.

  One article talks about young adults returning to their parents home and tries to give them some advice.

  One of the highlighted comments are these magical words

  <<Remember, more important than what you do is becoming proficient at what you do.>>

  I don't see how it's more important to become more proficient in that window washing job than working towards a more interesting and better paying job. We have always told our children to work towards the job that they really want and taking up less desirable jobs in the meantime is a means to an end.

  How about the GB tell their helpers to swap jobs with the cleaning staff, after all, its not what they are doing that is more important but becoming proficient in it is.

  Another comment

  <<In fact, it has been observed that the more experience and skill workers acquire, the more they enjoy their work. (then they jump to this conclusion) You don’t have to do what you love in order to love what you do!>>

  Huh? If you love what you are doing then you are doing what you love.

  Remember, more important than what you do is becoming proficient at what you do

  then why do they allow buffoons like his holiness pope tomo and lett and the likes go onto the JW TV tele-evangelist show.

  One girl left home at 24 years old and had to return home because she couldn't manage her money.

  24? Either a stay at home spoiled brat pioneer kid or a child of an overbearing micromanaging mother

  It doesn't matter what you do? That quote is a nonsensical statement, designed to make the proles/sheeple give up their goals of something better in exchange for life in the cult.

  Being a proficient "Rooming Overseer" is nice, but what if you want more? Oh, I forget, they don't want you doing anything for yourself, just the cult.

  What you do is equally as important as how proficient you are. Imagine a child who never wanted to become a Doctor, but it was expected of him. He does it, but hates it. Would you want him for your family Doctor?

  What if he has another calling, like being an physicist? He could change our world by discovering something. Meanwhile, he is going through the motions as a Doctor.

  Just think of all the wasted talent out there in WT LAND. Why? The GB are deluded, they and their writing staff are in an insular world and they confirm their own bias by writing this garbage.

  Silly rabbit, WT litter-a-trash is for dubs!!

  Interpretation....don't get an education. Stay thick and easily led and give your money to the paedophile protecting popes.

  DD: The GB are deluded, they and their writing staff are in an insular world and they confirm their own bias by writing this garbage.

  Yeppers!

  This is what happens when people that got nothing are operating under the false belief that they must say something.

  They become very proficient at spewing out meaningless drivel. Fortunately, a lot of it is pretty harmless. That being said, it's really astounding just how many truly harmful things come out of their deluded, self-important minds and make their way into jw.tv, convention parts, WT and/or Awake! articles, and Sophia and Caleb cartoons.

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  You don’t have to do what you love in order to love what you do.

  WTF?

  You don’t have to do what you love [ I don't love being a JW, in fact, I hate it!] in order to love what you do [ I won't love it either!].

  Also, observed by whom?? Brother mop overseer at Bethel??

  If there is some official poll or study, you can bet your bottom $$$ that the WTBTS does a misquote. Why? If you are experienced at something, then you have a marketable skill, that usually translates into a higher wage. So of course THOSE workers would be happier!!

  The WTBTS would have you believe that running a laundry service in Africa ( where they work in the sun all day and beat the clothes on used tires ) is awesome!!! It's not!! It sucks!! Subsisting from day to day has always sucked, and it always will!!

  Thankfully some smart people in the past looked up in the sky and looked at their existence and said," F*** THIS!!" Now we have indoor plumbing!

  Sure, some people live in a third world country, have no "bills" like we have, but they also dodge crocodiles! Once they are allowed to expand their worldview, they WANT to improve their life! Of course money isn't everything, but it's better to have enough than be poor.

  The WTBTS wants a communist/neo-Zionist regime with assigned living. The pseudo paradise sounds great to the ignorant, and that is precisely why the WTBTS expends great efforts to paint a black and white world view.

  Class, LET'S REVIEW: ..........

  You don’t have to do what you love in order to love what you do!

  That sounds familiar...Where have I heard that type of rhetorical non-sense before? Oh, yeah...

  Love the one you're with"
