    HOSER:

    I remember that manipulation, peer pressure and hype to quit my job and to do cleaning and pioneer.👎 I resisted it all and they hated me for it.

    I remember arrogant bastards on the podium and all the older JWs with presumptuous statements. I also blame this on the nasty attitude I got from some people my age in the hall.. I once had somebody scoff at me! Hope they can pay their bills now.. Fast forward to now: I’m Grateful I never caved in to any of this.

    You say the WT ‘has a lot to answer for’ and I have heard others say it.. Well, I would be curious to know how this could happen??

    I do wonder what all these older Witnesses who got burned by the ‘no career/no retirement savings’ are doing about this?? Or, are they just suffering in dumb silence? Are they too afraid to rock the boat or be shunned? Too bad.

    I am long out of the JW religion so this is no concern of mine. Just curious.. Also, how could I pity people who knocked or shunned me because I had a full-time job?

    I believe it was well meant. Unlike some, I have never seen them as money grabbing scammers. But, so what, it was still wrong and we all made life decisions based upon what they said .. They claimed to be directed by Holy Spirit and they let us down..

    NB. They make it sound like only a few members had forecast the dates . They should apologise on behalf of “ This Organisation “

    Biahi: Tonus, where is this from?

    I just made it up, I felt it was more accurate. I was thinking of leaving the quote marks off, but that just wasn't cheeky enough for me.
