What was the retirement plans you heard brothers talk about if any

by JimmyYoung in

i know some would not think about retirement.

i had one brother who would pioneer as he could afford and when he paid off his home he was about to collect social security.

he made enough that his plan was to work two to three days a week and pioneer the rest of the week.

Retirement is not something the jokehovians think about, unless they wish to waste their senior years worshiping this humanity-hating god in pain and misery so they can be used to run another poverty and misery working for others. Instead, it takes planning these days to retire comfortably, and results are not guaranteed.

Unlike back in the 1950s and 1960s, where Social Security and corporate pensions could be guaranteed, today they are cutting into both. The government can confiscate your pensions with a mouse click, inflation and hyperinflation can erode or destroy both Social Security and your savings, a stock market crash or companies that decide to steal your pensions could ruin your retirement. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, these situations were far less likely to happen.

There are multiple ways to prepare for retirement, each with drawbacks and advantages. Stocks and bonds can give you paper wealth, but if they pull the rug out from under the propped up markets, they can crash without warning (worse than 2008-09). Banks pay piddling for interest these days, and hyperinflation could destroy your wealth with little warning. Hard assets can help you become independent but the government can confiscate land and stop you from doing anything on it to survive. Gold and silver are safer--they have the potential for huge capital gains and little risk of easy government confiscation. Of course, the banks can stall on that, too--keeping the price artificially low so you can't retire on it so soon.

However, despite this uncertainty, one thing is certain. If you simply do nothing but pious-sneer and waste your time and money on this filthy religion, you will be destitute when you reach your senior years. You don't have any savings, stocks, or bonds--hence, even if they are propped up and don't crash and hyperinflation doesn't happen, you put nothing in, you get nothing out. Social Security is proportional to how much you earn--earn nothing, reap nothing. You also don't have any gold or silver--so, even if they pull the rug out from under other markets or lose control of gold and silver prices, you put nothing in, you get nothing out. And hard assets are also worthless if you put nothing in, even if governments allow you to use them to survive.

They are Still preaching against careers!

by LongHairGal in

i saw on another forum a post somebody made about the melbourne assembly.

it seems the religion is still knocking full time jobs/careers and saving for retirement.. you would think at this point in time - after thousands of bethelites were sent home; many thousands of rank & file jws are at or near retirement age with no preparation - that the religion would change its tune, but no.

they are still stubbornly sticking to their guns on this issue.. i’m sorry for any young jws who listen to this.. i’m just glad i never followed their advice and certainly would not want to be in any congregation surrounded by these desperate people!.

And who is going to donate? Anyone understand how expensive this religion can get? At 2.50 per gallon for gas, you can easily burn through 40 US Toilet Papers per week--and there is no guarantee that gas will stay that cheap (it is that much worse in other parts of the world where gas is far more expensive). Dry cleaning can run another 20 per week. And, has anyone seen the price of going to McDonalds every day for lunch?

Additionally, you have other expenses that happen during the year. Grand Boasting Sessions can burn through another 300 or 400 US Toilet Papers per session, and that does not include donations. So you wish to do an Israel mission as they keep pushing? There goes another 7,500--and most of that is "Gotcha!" fees. Phones used for the ministry can cost another 1,800 per year to own and run--that is realistic, not those advertised $39.95 Unlimited Data* scams that have whole Talmuds' worth of fine Gotcha! print. Who, at these low salaries with part time work, can afford it?

Of course, all this is to generate the destitute, sickly seniors they need to perpetrate their poverty workings on everyone. Get people set up to suffer through their senior years, and then lord on everyone else how they are still serving this beady-eyed monster despite all. More souls, more energy for the reptilians to impose full Noahide Law on the whole earth before moving in and evicting all its current tenants.

I would rather be making huge amounts of money (honestly, of course--it does no good to create scams to make money because stealing usually ends up bringing bad luck) and living well than suffering stupidly. We suffer enough because of the Fed, because of the bible and the curses it placed on humanity, because of those who will give their lives to defend these curses and the source of them including hijacking world governments through whatever means necessary. Why make it even worse because you didn't take reasonable steps to prepare for your senior years or because you wasted resources pushing poverty and misery workings that end in Noahide Law?

What star sign is more prone to becoming an apostate ?

by Chook in

i really think time of birth influence behaviour..

WTWizard

Sun sign? There are other planets that rule intelligence, which is needed to see through cults. Mercury is the one I can think of most, and when it is in Gemini or Virgo, and especially when tightly aspected with Uranus (the planet of rebellion), you are looking at someone that is likely to become apostate. And, Mercury in Gemini with Uranus in Virgo seems ideal for this--Mercury in Virgo and Uranus in Scorpio is another good sign (especially if they are near the same degree).

Those with Mercury in Sagittarius or Pisces, and especially with Uranus nowhere to be found, are at a disadvantage of becoming apostates. Also, if they have a strong Saturn (in Libra, Capricorn, or Aquarius) in the 5th or 7th natal house, they are more likely to be stuck. Plus, if Pluto is poorly aspected, they could be fated to remain jokehovian witlesses through this life only to be reincarnated in a Christian missionary family and stuck there in future lifetimes. (And if it conjuncts Zosma, or another bad star, that can make it even worse--especially with other planets adding to it).

As for sun signs, these are less powerful in keeping people in the cancer or getting them out. Mercury is the most powerful (ruling intelligence) along with Uranus (ruling rebellion) in this position. And, just hope that the moon was void of course when you get baptized, because that will tend to lead to the baptism failing.

What Do You Think About Banning Plastic Bags?

by minimus in

jw
friends

we need to save the planet so we have to stop using plastic bags!

in massachusetts, the new law will be going into effect soon.

if you go food shopping, you only cat get paper bags.. what is your opinion of the state banning plastic bags?

WTWizard

There is one big advantage of plastic bags--they double as rubbish bags. So they merely replace one form of plastic with another, and this means my plastic bags contribute zero plastic to the environment that wouldn't have been contributed through plastic rubbish bags bought from the store, at my expense.

And I can think of one far worse culprit: Walmart. They import huge amounts of plastic from China, made by slaves under far worse conditions and polluting far worse per unit of plastic than my grocery bags. And this plastic becomes rubbish quickly, instead of becoming rubbish bags that displace that plastic. Walmart plastic doesn't displace anything. Not to mention all the energy wasted and pollution generated getting this stuff from China to Walmart. And, worse yet, most of this Walmart plastic junk we buy cannot be recycled--unlike plastic bottles.

Price? Plastic grocery bags--nothing (and they save money on rubbish bags). Walmart junk--too much. You save nothing--a pair of shoes from a famous company based in southeastern Maine costs me about 3 times more than a pair of plastic Walmart shoes that lasts less than 1/8 as long (and are more uncomfortable, requiring additional plastic in the form of insoles to make bearable--my expensive shoes require no insoles). In the end, by paying 3 times as much once, I am saving 8 pairs of plastic shoes from the landfill or ocean (plus the insoles, and the pollution generated getting them from China 8 times). This goes with clothing (from this same company, I get clothing that lasts multiple times what Walmart items would have lasted, for maybe double or triple the price plus less plastic in the landfill and oceans).

Yet, with all this (and Walmart pollutes the environment excessively in so many other ways that are well known--The High Cost of Low Prices documentary details this), when are they going to ban Walmart? Not to mention the abusive conditions Walmart workers must endure, that they infest whole regions and drive quality and wages, and variety, down, and they ruin whole neighborhoods bringing in the lowest classes of people to bring in their drugs and whatnot. I think I would rather keep my plastic bags that double as rubbish bags, save on rubbish bags, and keep some 80% of my stuff out of the landfills by getting longer lasting items.

School task on Jehovas Witness

by Balder in

i am writing an essay on jehovas witness and i have a question for you.

what does a normal day of a jehovas witness consist of?

how is your day different from other's?

WTWizard

A normal day (not even a boasting session day) consists of getting up, wasting however much time you possibly can spreading a big fat lie from door to door (and this lie is a program to suck energy from the population to give to the reptilian race, so they can enslave and destroy us all and move in on this planet), and whatever menial job they allow you to have. If you are still in school, your school day comes first but you cannot have any decent friends or participate in anything aside the curriculum itself (and then, it is always slanted toward the religion). After which you are supposed to do field circus instead of properly getting your homework done or studying for your tests.

For everyone, if you have a nice block of time off, you are expected to waste it in this energy harvesting work. (Which is accomplished by spreading this soul-destroying bible and its evil message from door to door.) Weekends are shot, as are vacations. I saw one child, not even baptized and about age 8 at the time, stuck in field circus all day, every day, through a whole school recess. Work vacations are also wasted in this stupid, soul-draining work. You will be expected to arrive at the site at 9 AM (though this will usually be somewhat later on weekends and holidays) and waste the whole morning, eat at McDonald's, return to the site at 1 PM, and stay out all afternoon.

And there are the 2 boasting sessions per week. When you have one of those things, you have to stop everything to attend. For adults, this means taking time off from work so you don't miss the boasting session. Children must attend, even if it means not being able to finish homework (remember, field circus usurped their afternoon) or study for a test, and even if it means staying up past their bedtime. The one on the weekend, usually Sunday, takes play time away or stops one from having jobs that require frequent Sunday work (at higher pay, usually). Field circus is usually expected after the weekend boasting session, or before if it is during the afternoon.

These boasting sessions are a waste of time. It is always about how joke-hova is going to make the earth so great and how grand joke-hova is (all a great big scam) or conditions you must make to get anything. Effectively, they are poverty and misery workings for your soul to accept being poor and sick as virtues now, and the chokehold and treachery of Noahide Law in the not so distant future (and, the more you and everyone else wastes time spreading this foul message, the sooner and harder it will hit). It is even worse than regular church (which is bad enough, since it still uses the foul bible)--there is so much work you are supposed to do in jokehovianism that even regular church doesn't impose.

What Did You Do With All Your Meeting Clothes?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i literally had dozens of suits.

i still have more dress clothes than anyone i know.

i did give some suits and clothing away and to be honest, i still like wearing a nice suit.. brothers and sisters, are all your “ meeting clothes” still in your closet?

WTWizard

I literally threw most of them away. Most of them were in such poor condition that it was of no use trying to keep them or give them away. The ones that were still in serviceable condition (and by serviceable, I mean the pants are still in good shape with no holes in the seams or fabrics, and no big holes in the pockets and the jackets lacked major tears in the liner or obvious wear and damage in the outer layer), I simply washed (gentle cycle) and ironed carefully, and got them into a halfway decent appearance. Those still sit in my closet.

DFed for opening an xmas present.

by JimmyYoung in

this last week i stopped at an antique store that i go to now and then.

the lady who owns it is about 62 and very nice.

i was looking at a vintage 1963 ouija board.

WTWizard

Opening a present is not, by itself, an act of worship to the sun (as they claim celebrating Christmas is--and its roots are, in fact, part of celebrating the rebirth of the sun). But, if the hounders rule it as "brazen conduct", they could get you for "brazen conduct". Even going online could be "brazen conduct" if they nag you once for it, even if it is common in the congregation that everyone else is encouraged to do it.

In fact, any act could be termed "brazen conduct". One could be disfellowshipped, for instance, on "brazen conduct" charges if they are asked to learn Spanish for field circus, and instead they decided to learn German. Or even refusing to learn Spanish is enough, if they decide it is "brazen conduct".

Think that is bad? When Noahide Law is in full effect, the authorities in charge could decide that anything could be "tying into energy outside joke-hova" or "blaspheming god". By going along with this "brazen conduct" rule, they are preparing the astral, and the congregation, for full imposition of Noahide Law. Just as harmless at first appearance, just as deceptive, and then they wonder why I will not go to boasting sessions. Or why I "disfellowshipped" the whole religion, and joke-hova itself, for this deceptive practice.

At least with Sharia Law, as bad as it is, what you see is all you get.

The Apology Tour

by minimus in

jw
friends

everyone seems to be hitting the apology circuit.

if you ever said anything inappropriate or what might be considered offensive, then you must apologize.

if you possibly could have hurt someone’s feelings, you need to say sorry.

WTWizard

Being sorry because you tell the truth is not what I deem appropriate. The truth offends those who depend on lies to continue with their work on imposing Noahide Law, which this whole political correctness rubbish is leading to. And, as a reminder, one of the Noahide Laws is against complaining about those who are oppressing you and everyone else--under the guise of "blasphemy".

And, if you are "sorry" for one "offense", they will continue creating other "offenses" until we are all fully under the strictest interpretation of Noahide Law. This means anything enjoyable will potentially be banned, because you are connecting to an energy other than joke-hova (and violating the law against idolatry in doing so). This means no more favorite TV shows, movies, or songs. No more video games (not even older video games, pinball, pool, or bowling--since they can tie into energy from a bygone era or develop new skills to get better at such games, again violating the law against idolatry). No more holidays--they connect with your past and honor Demons. No more astrology, not even the sun sign. No more visiting foreign places (to connect with said energy). No more nothing.

If this is what you want, just keep being sorry for every trivial offense. Just keep being sorry for telling the truth (remember also, if we applied this just one step earlier, many of us would still be knocking on doors as jokehovian witlesses). Just keep trying to follow that bible and imposing bible principles on others. You will, in doing so, be giving them more energy to enforce Noahide Laws and make it even worse.

Hourglass app

by solomon in

jw
friends

all of the local congregations are going to use hourglass app for publishers to report their time.

i’m not sure if this meets privacy laws in our province.

WTWizard

With all the financial constraints and drains imposed by this religion, what about those who still do not have smart (??) phones? Those things do cost a good deal of money--even the off-brand units are around 200 toilet papers plus a service contract. This service contract is what really eats your money--you could be looking at another 180 per month for service. And this number is more realistic than the plans starting at $39.95 per month when you factor in the data usage imposed by streaming those washtowel videos.

Then, once the whole Internet goes down, how are they going to report their time with these apps? (Which they are helping to happen every time they open up that bible to preach and spread those lies to others.) I can only wonder if they are going to be using the brain RFID chip, again made possible with the psychic energy donated by those idiots using and spreading their bibles (that energy you get drained of has to go somewhere, and that is where it goes). And, once that thing is mandatory (the more people using their bibles, the faster it will happen), the whole jokehovian platform will be moot as we will all be under Noahide Law anyways.

2020 Memorial Talk points for "interested persons" to raise.

by The Fall Guy in

1) "what jesus gave was equal to what adam had lost—a perfect human life.".

jesus said that he came as a ransom, (matthew 20:28) but according to jw dogma, jesus' ransom gained far more than what was lost – 144,000 immortal king/priests in heaven to be precise!

adam was never going to produce such super-human offspring!

Benefit? From that worthless sacrifice for some made-up or contrived "sin"? Just another classic case where we pay forever for a single event, real or fictitious. And, since there seems to be an infinite number of sources for this sort of indebtedness, I refuse to attend this--I would benefit more from learning a foreign language if the program was in that language than from the worthless fictitious sacrifice for a fictitious "sin".
