“Personal interests and pleasures will have their place in God’s new world"
“Recreation and relaxation have their place, but the pleasure derived from them is increased when we put our relationship with Jehovah first”
Translation...You can have a good satisfying life in the future. Put your relationship with Jehovah (aka the org.) first. Give us your all (your money too) and you can have a satisfying life.
It's so hard to believe we ever thought along the same lines as these master manipulators.
Look at some of the old timers faces. They have the WTF look. We know of some (family members ) who are still work hard menial labor jobs (in their late 60's early 70's), with no end in sight of qutting or retiring. They can't or they would starve to death. It's like they have been waiting on a train that will never arrive to take them to their promised destination. Sad! I truly feel for these ones. At least we are young enough to enjoy the life we have today. I hope the majority of the young ones are running in the opposite direction. I think the internet is blowing a gaping hole in the JW belief system.
