FOOLEDNOMORE & SMILES:
I’m glad common sense ruled when you realized that nobody was going to look out for you except you. I pulled young pioneers aside and privately told them they better plan for the future. I hope some did.
I don’t know how any of that older generation could look at themselves in the mirror after they preached poverty for gullible younger people - meanwhile they were living in the lap of luxury..Most went to their graves after living a cushy life!
Words cannot describe how thankful I am that I did not listen. The religion is hateful with the attitudes they engendered in the congregations, and they can never be forgiven. But, I’m glad that I resisted the pressure..Whether this was because I wasn’t raised a JW, who knows..But, I’m glad to not be there now. Anybody who looks halfway decent will be targeted left and right..No way I’d tolerate being around this.
