Longy -- I didn't know many that were affluent but they did have brains to continue working. Yes - their friends/social circles were very important. Always will be JW 'freeloaders' (ha ha ❤️ your term - hadn't heard it in yrs.) who will expect handouts while they waste time and use pioneering as an excuse to be lazy.
Wonder if there are many disadvantaged, elderly, JWs, today - very sad. If so, they're surviving off of taxpayers and doubt it's much. Have heard of ones self-employed as housekeepers, handymen, and the economy has to be challenging for some these days.
Freeloading in a bad economy can't be that much fun.

Longy - the testimonials I heard were hype. JWs didn't sell their boats nor did they give up clique/socializing or camping time for field service. Sure -- a couple of them didn't attend institutions of higher learning nor did they pioneer or spend one second longer out recruiting for WT. Most likely 95% theatre. The JW students who received scholarships used them! Some applied for college scholarships/loans. There was a window of opportunity allowed by the WT for extended education and a few JWs in their 20s/30s also jumped on the special. Perhaps decades ago there were those who forfeited scholarships but not recent times.
Maybe they are resorting back to old, successful, business, model - good luck, suckers -- although there are plenty around that will fall prey to anything.

Stuck in a university - one should be so lucky and great odds of learning compared to being stuck in WT land. Education costs money and WT wants it. I would not be able to contain myself at one of those conventions.
WT needs to build up their slave class. Too many youth pushing the right foot down (gas pedal) exiting the first moment possible.

executive order signed this morning.

prescription drugs reduced by 30-80 percent.

investigation by doge found out that other nations that were paying $100 dollars for a certain drug, americas were paying $1000 dollars or more for the same drug.

BRIBIE: THANKS for sharing the 'adverse' link. Bet most loyal die-hard JWs won't post "vaccine" horror. There can't be enough doctors around today to deal with all the horrific side effects.

Religions were paid multi-millions promoting the injections to their adherents, Watchtower most likely coerced "vaccine" having immense power over followers lives. I recall hearing or reading members had to be vaccinated to return/attend the meetings and so many people weren't hesitant about rolling up their sleeves w/all the media fear 24/7.

Inviting People to Meetings

2. experiences
the current memorial invitation campaign got me thinking about the few times over the years that someone i invited to a meeting actually came: .

1) once when i was "new", i invited a friend to a sunday meeting.

neither of us drove, so the brother conducting my study picked us up.

Blondie: They will hate you.. [I want to stress here because I haven’t seen anybody comment on this in all my years on the forum:: but I observed there was a definite BIAS against people who were converts and not born-in Witnesses.]
Blondie you are 100% correct. Very biased against converts and assume one is or was a degenerate before being hand chosen to hang with their group. What a bunch of judgmental hypocrites.
I don't think they accept or like ones poor or wealthy.

Hey, Longy - the freeloaders are good at asking but I've a feeling the economic climate in the halls is challenging for those JWs who will be asked to donate.
There are poor, underprivileged, people, in all religions but how many are against education or good careers, professions, like WT!

The point of existence and how it refutes the Trinity
by slimboyfat in

rowan williams, the former archbishop of canterbury gave an interesting answer to the somewhat stark question, what’s the point of us existing?

as a christian, my starting point is that we exist because the most fundamental form of activity, energy, call it what you like, that is there, is love.

that is, it’s a willingness that the other should be.
