the watchtower—study edition | march 2025. keep walking by faith.
7 note how javier, a brother in south america, saw the need to walk by faith.
he says: “i had applied for a prestigious job that would double my salary and provide considerable personal satisfaction.” however, javier had the deep desire to pioneer.
Sadly, Javier is codependent with his need for "spiritual" (cough) goals. He wanted to pioneer and only work part time, he got it. There are plenty of companies that only want part time workers.
And the writers at the corporation advising him on his life choices when they have every need cared for...grrrr.
from barbara:.
my dear husband, joe anderson, has had very real problems with his short-term memory for at least a year which really worried me.
as his mental health deteriorated, i decided to have our local longtime physician talk alone with joe during an office visit last september.
So sorry to hear this. Barbara and Joe accomplished so much in their life together.
Sending comfort and strength to Barbara during this difficult time, and to Joe peace for his final days.

This opportunistic corporation will do anything for money. Whether it’s cheating a family out of an inheritance, (ya you Paul Gilles), or taking money/provisions from a government…it’s for the benefit of the corporation. Can you imagine if the corporation let the recipients of this gift know it was from anybody else but Jehovah how confusing it would be!
They are a devious bunch always looking for a way to enrich themselves and evade responsibility for anything they do. I really hate this religion.

Whoa, Toutjian, that's a name I grew up with.
in a civil complaint filed under seal and unsealed nearly two months ago, 11 congregations accuse the activist of violating federal, pennsylvania and maryland wiretap statutes.
in the course of the ongoing statewide grand jury investigation, all jw congregations in pennsylvania were subpoenaed to produce records pertaining to child sexual abuse.
so, meetings were arranged, county by county, between lawyers and elders on how to deal with the subpoenas.
Wow thank you for sharing. I had heard he was being sued.
Keep the faith Mark and thank you for all you do.
just finished season 1 on netflix.. holy crap, i had no idea of the history of the mormons!.
i always thought they were like the jws, or the quakers, but they were full on fascists committing massacres.. i'm sure they are hating having more people be aware of their past, but i gotta say, it is more event-filled than the jw history..
1800's were bonkers.
hope everyone near to the region affected in california is ok. it's shocking to hear of the destruction.
these affected areas are some of the places i visited when i came on a tour of the us.
malibu, santa barbera, la, santa monica, hollywood and so on..

I was messaged by a childhood exJW friend. She asked if the JWs are thinking this is the Big A. I told her I have no idea. I can’t stand to go to the page Sea Breeze posted, but I can only imagine what they are saying. 🙄

I'm fine, I live further south in Long Beach...no canyons or wilderness ridges. Aude Sapere checked in, she is further north and okay. Another friend I met from here early on, ran the LA meetup group when I joined years ago, fought embers Tuesday along with the OCFD, and saved their house. We three had just been to the theater Sunday night...how quickly things can change, especially with a wind event and a dry wilderness area.
this information is supposed to be in the upcoming march wt.
(i don’t go on jw dot org).
it would sound like they are hinting at a change in thinking.. in my opinion, any such change would be yet another slap in the face to faithful pimis along with those other recent changes.. there are so many heartfelt responses on that thread and a lot of justified anger.. don’t know what to say except that i’m so glad i never listened to the religion all those years ago.
The Jay dubs want to keep you hand to mouth poor. You are easier to control that way.
This reminds me of a couple, long time JW's. He was a carpet layer for years and years until he couldn't do it anymore physically. His wife got a job in her 50's, never worked a day a secular job before. He eventually was able to get a job at Home Depot advising in the flooring department. Perfect...right!!
Nooooo. He wasn't a servant mind you, but he was counseled for working nights. He quit that job to appease the congregation, but was so angry about it. I felt so bad for him. He was trying to provide for his family, give his wife a break...
This wasn't that many years ago...maybe 10.
