An upcoming Watchtower article saying if people Pioneer Jehovah will provide!
by LongHairGal ini saw the post on reddit and the thread got many responses..can anybody believe the religion is still saying this??
it has to be as plain as day that so many jws are poor and struggling today because they never got a career or decent job years ago.. sadly, there are still witnesses who believe money will fall from heaven if they are in the full-time ministry.
they expect some miracle to occur..but, we all know the truth: people in the congregation will be hit up for yet more money for another bunch of irresponsible people pursuing poverty.

So many outraged posters there have posted their personal experience...Every day more Witness Baby Boomers are reaching retirement age unprepared. I expect as time goes on we will hear the full extent of this horror.
My cousin retired a couple of years ago. She gets a Social Security check for $1,100 a month. She's lucky that she lives with her elderly mom, who she takes care of. If it wasn't for her mom, she doesn't know how she would survive.
She told me, '' I wish I would of gone to college when I had the chance.'' Her father was an elder all his life. She was told not to attend college, because Armageddon would come at any time. It would be a waste of time.
LongHairGal: Here is my cousin acting as a High School Counselor at an assembly 12 years ago, which I started a thread. You cannot make this up!
2010 Circuit Assembly..........Sunday Program nonsense and madness.
There were 2 sisters who got up and had a dramatization about a sister not wanting to go to College. I will paraphrase as best as I can.
High School Counselor: ''Have a seat Karen and I will show you all the College applications I have for you.''
Sister: ''Thank you for all the work you have done.''
Counselor: '' I have an application from Harvard, one from Michigan University, and a couple from the East Coast.''
Sister: '' I have done a lot of thinking and decided not to go to any College."
Counselor: ''Karen, you have a 4.0 grade average and scored very high on the A.C.T. and you would have no problem getting into any of these schools."
Sister: '' As you know, I'm a Jehovah's Witness and we believe that we are near the ''end times.'' I decided that I will go into the preaching work part time and maybe go to a 2 year school."
Counselor: ''You will probably get into these schools at almost no cost because of your 4.0 average and high A.C.T. scores and have a good career the rest of your life.These are great schools and will prepare you to land a good job.''
Sister: ''This world is passing by and may not be here any longer. I decided to enter the ministry work and Jehovah God will provide for me in the future."
Everyone applauded except me. That was really sad to see!

Youtube has a video entitled, ''Discussion: The Governing Body Asks For Younger Elders''
A young Stephen Lett ( without the rubbery face, in his New York City office ) talking about quality, over quantity when it comes to the Jehovah's Witness membership. ( We don't need stinking high numbers, we just need productive field service volunteers)
He says,'' Sure, you can relax the standard and you can perhaps attract more people, but Jehovah has never been primarily interested in numbers?"
That announcement referred to “ exceptional ministerial servants “. How do they judge exception? By pioneer hours ? We know that means nothing...
So, what has changed Governing Body?

Sounds like a page out of the Mormon playbook. Nothing like seeing19/20 year old Mormon "elders" on their bikes passing
JW elders on the way to their respective houses of worship.

Long discussion on this topic here:
That was a great thread! I like your comment:
Coming soon: You too can get marital advice, counsel on raising children, and direction concerning your lack of appreciation for spiritual matters from Joe Elderson, who has never kissed a girl, who was homeschooled since the age of 6, who is still living with his parents in the same house, heck, same bedroom he's always had, who still has acne breakouts and who was not yet born during the Clinton presidency.

The Governing Body are always changing Bible procedures. Since few young brothers are reaching out as pioneers and ministerial servants, not attending School for Kingdom Evangelizers, not serving at Bethel and assisting in Kingdom Hall construction, they are in urgent need for elders.
They admit that these young men ( early to mid 20's ) are young in years. But since, there is a shortage of elders, exceptional ministerial servants now can become elders in the congregations. Now you can become an elder while still living with your parents, never dated or been married, have not been challenged with responsibilities in your young life.
The Watchtower Society will update the Shepherd book just like they updated Titus 1: 5-9
5 I left you in Crete so that you would correct the things that were defective and make appointments of elders in city after city, as I instructed you: 6 if there is any man free from accusation, a husband of one wife, having believing children who are not accused of debauchery* or rebelliousness.+ 7 For as God’s steward, an overseer must be free from accusation, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy of dishonest gain, 8 but hospitable,+ a lover of goodness, sound in mind,*+ righteous, loyal,+ self-controlled,+ 9 holding firmly to the faithful word* as respects his art of teaching,+ so that he may be able both to encourage by the teaching that is wholesome and to reprove those who contradict.
The Watchtower Society will update the Shepherd book just like they updated 1 Timothy 3:1-6
3 This statement is trustworthy: If a man is reaching out to be an overseer, he is desirous of a fine work. 2 The overseer should therefore be irreprehensible, a husband of one wife, moderate in habits, sound in mind,*+ orderly, hospitable,+ qualified to teach,+ 3 not a drunkard,+ not violent,* but reasonable,+ not quarrelsome, not a lover of money, a man presiding over his own household in a fine manner, having his children in subjection with all seriousness+ 5 (for if any man does not know how to preside over* his own household, how will he care for the congregation of God?), 6 not a newly converted man,+ for fear that he might get puffed up with pride and fall into the judgment passed on the Devil.

In the early '70's, shortly before 1975 (the big day was supposed to come), Watchtower was expanding its New York facilities. They purchased the Squibb Building, raising a red flag in the eyes of many. No excuses were offered except that it was "Jehovah's will.
The Witnesses bought their 733,000-square-foot headquarters from Squibb Pharmaceuticals for $3 million in 1969. It was placed on the market this month along with a nearby apartment building and a 135,000-square-foot lot. Despite the prominent "Watchtower" sign, the building has no historical designations that would place restrictions on the buyer.
There's big money in real estate, apparently even after Armageddon
The final large property to sell was the former Squibb plant, adorned with the Watchtower sign. With the final move of 800+ Jehovah’s Witnesses residents and staffers to Warwick imminent, the sale closed in 2017 for $340 million. While the organization still holds a few smaller properties and garages in the area, a few of which have sold since, the sale of the Squibb building served as the final goodbye to Brooklyn.

The true numbers show decrease. More people are leaving.
https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/statistics.php
In the 10 years from 2011 to 2020 there were 2,721,457 baptisms, yet the increase in average publishers was only 1,199,255. This shows 1,522,202 stopped publishing. Even accounting for the average death rate, over 1 million Witnesses left in a 10 year period.

2021 Governing Body Update #10
Help inactive ones: Anthony Morris wants to help inactive ones return to Jehovah. How can each congregation member do their part? Call inactive ones by phone, send letters and text them during this pandemic!
He goes on to say that many inactive have begun associating with us again during the pandemic. Some inactive ones who haven't returned are praying to Jehovah to ''search for me.'' Mr. Morris reads Psalm 119:176... I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.I think Anthony Morris and the Governing Body just want to drum up the preaching work, since there is no house to house field service. What a great way to excite members, telling them that inactive are coming back to zoom meetings. Mr. Morris even suggests that the inactive ones are even praying to Jehovah, because they are lost sheep and haven't forgotten what it means to serve Jehovah. One Circuit Overseer in the United States reported that 76 individuals in his circuit have been re-activated.
If you are inactive like myself, expect a phone call, a letter or a text from a Jehovah's Witness family member or friend. They will be calling, not out of concern for your well being, but they will be calling because Mr. Anthony Morris said so in his 2021 Governing Body update!
