the organization teaches you to rely on jehovah god.
don't worry about the anxieties of this system, just modestly care for the necessities in life.

Minimus,
I'm out of the Witnesses so I don't have any agenda here. But if the Governing Body were really unbelieving it seems to me that it would be to their advantage to encourage their members to go and get a highing paying job. That way the contribution box might benefit. No?

Well, it seems to me that the GB must really believe what they teach otherwise they would encourage their members to get a higher education and in that way be able to give more to the Organization. Window washers etc, have little to give to their religion.

i don't understand their mode of operation.. if they want lots of growth, why don't they just lighten up a bit and dispense with the whole charade of harshness and disfellowshipping.
encourage charitable works, social gatherings, education, freedom of speech, having a family etc etc etc.
this would greatly increase their numbers and their bottom line $$.. they seem to be shooting themselves in the foot at the moment.
The Organization is trying to survive. That is its prime mandate.
