Some late 60s early 70s Bound Volumes. Red "Life Everlasting in the Freedom of the Sons of God" book. Lots of references to 1975. Orange Paradise Book. Blue Truth Book. "Why is wise to examine your religion" . We sold some old stuff on eBay. When we ran out of TP last month I wish we had a few volumes still... :)

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.
