  True believers never save their money

  by stillin in

  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..

  I think groan and never a jw are correct. They are probably in a panic trying to figure out how to massage the numbers up. Next year I imagine will be worse.

  It makes me wonder what other shenanigans they are pulling to fluff the humbers. Maybe this started a while ago. The cart witnessing. Makes it easy for dubs to rack up hours just drinking coffee? Reporting just 30 minutes for elderly? How creative will they be before the numbers are no longer fluffable

  Maybe they will make a provision for newly associated ones to count their time? Maybe they will let kids count their time for watch Damm Caleb and Sophia! ?

  I wonder if they have noticed people opting more these days for walking away than df or da? They are probably just trying to better understand how their religion is falling apart.

  anyone who has read what happened here, both to the ancient site and also the grizzly murder of antiquity scholar khalid asaad, consider this.

  what religious/theocracy on earth now most resembles the stories of "god's chosen people" of the old testament?

  probably isis does.

  Islam is full of bad ideas. Just like most religions that are founded on principles of death and intolerance of "unbelievers" "infidels" "apostates" whatever. It's bad ideas. Isis and anyone involved in sharia law in whatever foam are at the center of the religion and passifists are on the frindge.

  If the numbers start growing exponentially I wonder if they will have to do away with the designation inactive. Because the declining numbers will make a visible sign of a down trend in the religion.

  Sorry my friend. I know the feeling. However I have to say you handled that very well. You merely presented the facts and it sounds like in a very good way.

  Yep. As I said at the begining. The things these modern day monsters do are the things my book of bible stories is made of. A witness book for kids.

  tough to watch this whole video, the way he talks gets pretty annoying, especially after the rc hearings:.

  http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodstudio/pub-jwban_201506_1_video.

  go to around 8:20 where he gets into the pronunciation of jehovah.

  Its a temple of Baal. That's not Allah. In fact the Bible is full of disdain for Baal. Not sure about the Koran, but like I said, its not Allah. My understanding is all three religions have used this as their temple as different points in history. Guess they were too lenient.

  James

  it is necessary to bring about the end of days.

  Just like the preaching work of JW's lol. I guess with so many trying to bring the end eventually someone will get it right!

  Thank you guys, and thinkerbelle, you are on the track. So many (myself included) have made a similar journey. I am so happy you joined!

  As for this

  and the thought that this life can't be all there is, can it?

  I can only speak for myself, that used to be a scary thought, after being raised a JW. But once I told my myself if this life could be all there is, I don't want to waste it, or bog it down with concern over things I cannot know. Letting the unknown be just that, is a big relief, it seems scary, until you cross that threshold of letting go and see that we'll find out the answer when we get there.
