We are seriously considering a move out of crazy expensive, crazy California since retirement. Someplace within an hour of an international airport. Just a cheap small home we can just lockup for a month or more, and travel to more expensive or interesting places. Arizona? Nevada? New Mexico? Tennessee?

JW views on saving and retirement
by neat blue dog inprobably one of the most common causes of cognitive dissonance many jws face is the choice to plan for retirement.
if you're a good jw, then you should believe that the end will be coming soon, surely before you retire.
that's what i did when i was younger, blowing decades that could've been better spent because i believed the end was coming, so any planning was a waste of time.

Pioneering wife #1 went ballistic when she noticed my payroll deductions for the 401k, IRA, and various insurances back in 1985. She went to the elders and "turned me in" for my lack of faith. lol. She even had two elders come and council me for my "lack of faith" in the coming destruction of the evil system.
(She left me 1990 ( :) thankfully!) saying my "lack of faith" was spiritually damaging her...and pioneered..until she ran out of that evil $$, had to work fulltime, and then decided to shack up with a wealthy attorney to support her,....who soon dumped her. She ended up a penniless bag lady in her late 60s.)
So much Watchtower dogma and vitriol simply feeds illogical hysterical followers. Bethel itself is full of Accountants, Realtors, and Attorneys who wheel and deal to store up worldly riches.

Now in my 60s and learning so much I learned in school, on the news and at JW meetings was total "malarky". I have learned to question my own opinions and ask myself, "on what information and source did I form this opinion". Question everything.

Yes stillin, I watched a fascinating documentary on the Glysophate - celiac connection on PBS tv. Many US farmers use Glysophate to prep grains so they are ready for harvesting machines early and uniformly. The producers claim it kills the good gut flora making it less digestible and triggering allergies. Eating active cultures pro-biotics helps but does not fully offset the damage. It is claimed in areas that don't use this harvesting technique, Gluten sensitivity is much rarer.

A Must Read Update on WBTS and Darkspilver from reddit
by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara inmany of us know that watch tower (yes, two words in this case) has issued a subpoena to reddit to try to gain darkspilver's identity due to accusations of copyright infringement:.
tl;dr: on april 9, watch tower filed a response to the eff's motion to quash (filed march 26) regarding the subpoena submitted to reddit in an attempt to find /u/darkspilver's identity.. the wt response is publicly available here as a pdf, from the site court listener.. a number of other documents relating to the case are available on the same site, here.. and the eff's motion to quash is available on the eff's website here.. details: as i'm sure many of us know, watch tower (yes, two words in this case) has issued a subpoena to reddit to try to gain /u/darkspilver's identity due to accusations of copyright infringement.
specifically, watch tower is claiming copyright infringement for two things: first, darkspilver posted the back page of the november 2018 watchtower which was an article entitled "what gift can we give to jehovah?” which explained how to donate.

Fascinating story. Obviously, Watchtower wants to know WHO darkspilver is and is tossing some $$$ into the quest. I was digging around on the news site looking at the filed papers.
Watchtower's Attorney has no easy to find photos. Even on the BAR site. Has a crappy old house in downtown San Mateo, get his mail from a commercial P.O. Box, has a "rent a conference room" in San Mateo. No co-workers or partners. No complaints, no rants, no raves, no YELPS from happy or sad clients. A nebulous resume' of bouncing around from job to job.

Is this mystery guy a frontman for the Watchtower's "squeeze a widow for all she is worth" before she dies and dam her kids' program?
Does anyone know this guy?
Glad to see a well funded ACLU/ Silicon Valley affiliation has taken up DarkSpilvers cause.
