finish school.. finish my apprenticeship (why are you doing that brother karter you will never finish it in this system).. buy a house.. pay the house off.. karter..
We always remained realistic.
Graduated high school.
Got married.
Bought 2 homes
2 great kids
Love to spend time enjoying nature
Now we are preparing our 2 children to survive on their own and make a life for them and any future offspring.
The only thing we did not do was go to college. We have been very fortunate to always have good employment and always try and keep our medical benefits. We have kept our expenses down, just in case we one day loose employment.
has anyone noticed that witnesses (from the top down) seem to have a quiet form of smug arrogance toward all non witnesses?.
perhaps it comes from being told how "special and unique" they are but they end up looking down on all normal members of the community because they are not witnesses.. so any form of "love" they show those in the territory is also limited as long as they accept the message...otherwise they are viewed contemptuously as "worldly" and therefore of little value...after all,they will be destroyed right?.
All you have to do is listen to Anthony Morris. You talk about smug and arrogant! Not a humble bone in his body. The zone meeting a year and a half ago really put the nail in the coffin for us. The part about 23 year old men who are not MS's. He stated that these men are not good marriage material. Why would anyone stick around where they are not wanted. That is just one of the many things that prompted our fade.
One thing that we have noticed with some JW's. They do think that they are better than the average "worldly" person BUT if some find out they have money or something that will benefit THEM, then they will make some concessions. So many "gypsies" in the cult. These ones are looking for the next person who can put money in their pocket, provide housing or a job. These "gypsies" are typically need greaters, pioneers or Bethelites.
i'm wondering at how far the borg could go in begging for money?
their halls are already resembling the"money changers in the temple".
as they get sued more and more due to their pedophilic paradise their coffers will be ever more drained.
The organization works best using peer pressure. I believe they will use the multilevel contribution award system. Provide lapel pin's,special Bibles,invitation to special events, lunch with the GB, a night in a lakeside suite at Warwick.
To the most loyal and giving members. then brother "loyal" can wear his gold JW.org lapel pin to the kingdom hall and to the assemblies to show everybody his loyalty by his special gift to the watchtower. I believe something like this would work best for this organization.
Here is a sample of giving levels
with the increasing number of young ones leaving "the truth", it is critical to brainwash them regularly from young!.

13:20.. a child could drift away gradually on a spiritually dangerous path, being tempted by harmful association or degrading entertainment.
this grandmother found the best way to advertise jw.org by wearing a huge lapel pin.. .

"Social isolation is a form of bullying"
Really WT? They really have some nerve writing this, when everyone knows they promote shunning. You just can't make this stuff up.
HYPOCRITES!
i feel relieved to spend that time doing anything else but sitting in a stadium for 8 hours with only an hour break listening to the same talks i've been hearing since i was a child.
not to mention trying to keep my young boys quiet so i wouldnt get the evil looks in my section😂😂.
lot of walking was going on for us to try and tire them out.

You can't even get married in the Kingdom Hall if you fooled around before your wedding. I guess you can use the Kingdom Hall for a funeral for a deceased prescription drug user. The double standards in this cult are incredible. Membership DOES have its privelges.
I guess if they DF'd every JW who over uses prescription meds, there would not be any JW's left. Lol

It's all about WHO you are with the JW's.
You will hear from most JW's...."what a great witness to the community."
Princes death ='s 15 minutes of fame for the WBTS.
