it's an article of faith.
either god is going to save them or he is not.
since one local elder proudly told me that he never saved a nickel until just before his retirement, i've given this subject some thought.. savers are worldly..
Introvert. If you had made millions then they would have made fun of that too. It doesn't matter if you win or loose, they will judge you. You're damned if ya do and damned if ya don't.
In life, you win some and loose some. Most millionaires loose along the way. It keeps you humble! Be glad you are out!

I put this topic under humor. After the May broadcast...begging for money. This article just takes the cake! Such hypocrites!
do you have feelings of hopelessness and fear for not having a religion?.
do you envy happy jehovah witnesses and living their lives carefree?.
i thought paradise was supposed to be a delight?
not according to the august study wt, on page 20 paragraphs 4-12 it outlines how much paradise will be exactly like being in the org today.
still following rules, waiting on jehovah and obeying those taking the lead.
my wife and i just found out that our disassociation was announced last night.
we....are...free!.
i'd like to take a moment to thank some people:.
awhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.
and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.
i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.
this letter was sent to all congregations in ecuador (south america).. the translation into english of the letter:.
to body ofelders.
subject: publisher who did not report field service time in the second semester of service year.. dear brothers:.
Do you think they are starting to add up the #'s for the previous service year? Are the #'s coming in low? They don't like what they see so they are double checking.
When I was attendant at the assemblies, we would count and if they didn't like the #'s they would have the attendants re count. Is this similar?
