  the watchtower—study edition | september 2024. enjoy the greater happiness that comes from giving.

  9 though we are imperfect humans, we can imitate jehovah’s generous use of power.

  we cannot literally impart strength, or energy, to others.

  Retirement

  by jehovaxx in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the difference is now blatantly obvious, older ones who went against direction of the gb and planned for retirement have relatively more comfortable lives.. those who trusted and followed gb direction never got further education or training, pioneered or spent most of their lives knocking on doors for free, making just enough to get by in a part time job.. if you followed direction from the gb then you thought the end was just around the corner so no need to plan for retirement.. now these ones have indeed got old which they were given the impression they never would.

  they are a burden on others.

  the state has to pay for them in their old age.

  New rules for inactive ones?

  by Lynnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have the rules changed as far as disfellowshipping inactive ones when it's clear they are engaged in "wrongdoing?".

  i have a cousin in seattle who was disfellowshipped about 3 years ago or so and then went through the process of being reinstated (took only 6 months) and then proceeded to fade and do nothing regarding the jw's .

  fast forward to today and now she's had a baby out of wedlock and the uber jw elder father and mother are all on board somehow.

  i have a cousin in law that is in the inner sanctum of the jw's at warwick.

  he and his wife were always traveling on the wtbts's dime all over the world to visit bethels and report back etc.

  they have been in lockdown for over 2 years and now it looks like the gates have opened for him and wifey to travel all over again.

  so does anyone have any updates on the opening up of the headquarters in warwick?

  my uber cousins seem to be out of lockdown for a bit but it's hard to know for how long.

  they are going to hawaii with the rich parents who pay for everything for a week next week.

  An old friend was all nice until she found out I was DF'd!!!

  well this is almost funny to me at this point.

  i've been out since i was 19 and i'm now 65. i have uber jw cousins that of course now shun me big time.

  funny how when my uber jw started declining in health all of a sudden they "needed" me and i had to help with her care blah blah after being shunned for years.. my mom passed away a couple of years ago and i sent out the death/memorial announcements to her friends far and near.

  Food donations from the government

  by Lynnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so i just saw on fb a letter going out to jw's in southern california to keep quiet if they get any food donations from the elders.

  the jw's aren't giving this food out of the kindness of their hearts, they are getting it from the government and pretending they are doing it themselves.

  gah!

  Email from JW relative/elder

  2. beliefs

  as much as i enjoy you and pete's company, you also know our understanding of how much we want you to be reunited with jehovah and his people.. .

  we did not set the standards for what jehovah says about our associations with those who choose to not serve him.

  so we will always be there for you and pete, but it is in your hands as to how we can enjoy your friendship.. .
