My parents did pretty well with saving their money. It depends on you to do what's right with your money not wait for any guidance from the greedy Borg, they'll just encourage you to leave your money to them. Quite a few of my friends parents did well with their retirement regardless of the Borg, Many moved down south and some built new homes.

A while back a sister that was a friend of my mother moved away to Virginia and was a pioneer. When she came to visit she said she was still pioneering but was receiving disability. That always stayed on my mind that she was collecting because she couldn't work but could still knock on doors. So I actually called in VA the appropriate dept that takes care of fraudulent people who claim and gave them her name and address. They did look her up but found at that time she was not collecting anymore, just my part in "keeping the Organization clean"

Sister attendants not able to give directions to a brother..Misogyny
by Theburstbubble inat our recent rc i was advised by a sister who was an attendant that they have been advised not to be able to give brothers directions as this should be dealt with by the brothers.
apparently at the pre-convention attendants meeting, the sisters were asked to stay behind.
this was when they were given the news that the brothers should deal with brothers.

It's come out that Josh Duggar is on the list, the one that molested his younger sister, so if one of that "Christian" brood is on the list you know some Dubs are on it.

I was appointed my mother's legal guardian by the court because she was not able to make any decisions in her medical condition. Some sisters visited the day I said to give her blood that she needed. They saw the tube and after they left the called the Elder. Which called me , which I proceeded to curse out over the phone for the next 10 minutes telling him it's not his business.
I guess he wasn't too mad at me because about six months later at her memorial service he and his wife were quite cordial and friendly to me, guess he learned his lesson that day over he phone.

Witness behavior in my gym ....
by SecretSlaveClass inabout two months ago two very attractive ladies in their mid 30's signed on at one of the gyms i belong to.
for a while i noticed them watching me and naturally i assumed they were taking an interest in how i went about training my clients since many do before they decide to approach me and inquire about my services (i own a health and fitness consultancy).. sure enough one of them approached me a few weeks back and asked me for a business card, inquired about rates and various other aspects involved with signing on with me.
i handed her a card and explained that my client schedule was full but she should consider signing on with one of my personal trainers who still had some open spots available.

SSC - You could've played that scene in the pharmacy whole different way. You could've said, "are you the woman in the gym the other day that was getting to touchy feely" then laugh and say, "that's okay I'm over it" then say to her husband, "dude, I don't know for sure, but you're a lucky guy since she's your girlfriend".

How to spot: a single JW sister
by purrpurr ini remember this time of year when jw's desend en mass on one area.
a fun game to play is "spot the..." whatever jw walking stereotype you choose.. so i thought i would play it with you guys, starting with how to spot a single jw sister.. i say, she will be dressed up to the nines, probably over dressed in fact, have hair immaculately coffied, make up plastered on, towering heels and be smiling at every brother in site.
all they need is a sign saying "pioneer, virgin, available for marriage!".

THX problemaddict2 - I feel like sending a msg myself to that email, asking if the next two articles will include that JWs can now take blood fractions, but what about the JWs who have died decades ago before they got "new light" and were not permitted to take any form of blood.
