July 2016 W T Article Gives Reassurance to Aging Publishers

Congregations are full of older ones who were led to expect the end when they were still young enough to work ,and stay forever young. Now these ones face a sparse old age with little provision set aside.

The article ""Do Not Be Afraid . I Will Help you" tries to address this .

"Aging is another major concern. Many people reach retirement age and wonder if they will have enough money to live out the rest of their life comfortably. They also worry about the health issues that may confront them as they grow older."

The answer?

"They need to continue cultivating faith in God, trusting that he will provide their necessities"

They need to economise, cut back on luxuries (Don't all pensioners?) and trust in God. They give an example of an elderly couple who face difficulties but because they were such good examples to the others, a young couple in the cong.took them in and provided a home for them

" These older ones consider the younger couple’s help to be a gift from Jehovah."

So there we are ..Trust in God , keep Pioneering and to hell with future financial planning. Sounds like a good plan to me....or NOT!

Now, why isn't the answer do not worry because Armageddon will be here?

Bloody con artists!

All those born-ins now having to think about how they will retire... it's just so sad. It's criminal what they're doing. Criminal!

Only in the JW universe is depending on strangers for food and shelter a good thing.

In the real world these people were misled into abandoning all to work for a publishing/real estate magnate then finding out that there is no paradise for them.

Wouldn't it just frost your hide to be an older person who has been frugal all of your life only to have a pinky ring wearing governing body member who lives off the donations of others, tell you through the pages of the Watchtower to cultivate more faith and be more prudent with your money? Especially when they've been claiming to be in need of more money themselves ! They didn't rely on Jehovah....they went out an solicited heavily for extra funding from the flock.

Seems like this might be the last straw for some who are beginning to question if these men really know what they are talking about and how wise it was for them to count on the future the gentlemen from the Watchtower assured them would arrive within their lifetime.

Unless this young couple happen to have an apartment over the garage for that couple, this would be an effective method to have a sexless marriage... for all of them. Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't imagine getting into a passionate lovemaking session when some elderly church people are under the same roof.

Oh Oh, I can see it now...August WT 2016..."Putting off sex to provide for the Elderly"

OMG, My mom couldn't even get one of the younger ones to take her to the grocery store let alone live with them.

She would have starved if it wasn't for the evil worldly neighbor. We had to get her away from them loving (not) JW's
