so as they say one picture is as strong as a thousand words and here you have it guys in the latest study edition of the watchtower for october 2024 that has just been posted on their website a middle aged jw window cleaner dreaming of the new system where things will get better.
why does the watchtower need to talk now about jws on minial self employed jobs?
Whats so infuriating.
All in the workforce are ""tax slaves".
What do the gb or WT pay for tax?? Hmm?
Then they turn around and knock the working class.
When they pay nothing into tax.
People who have to actually ""work" for a living.
And some who dont "work" for a living. And knock those who do.

Probably one of the most WT studies ever, ever.
i'm interested to know the age demographics here.
it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.
it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.
Nathan if I could smash your "like" button 10,000 times,, I would.
this thread currently has over 300 comments.. it shows a picture of an older man washing a window looking wistfully… then it talks all about how some may have doubts about not having planned and the situation they are in now that they are older, etc.
it refers to others who did plan and who supposedly have ‘apparent’ financial security.
in my opinion, the whole gist of this article is to make older witnesses feel better who did not pursue a career or plan well for retirement.. it tries to imply that those others who planned only have ‘apparent’ financial security - which is to say they don’t (?).
"Maybe my 'worldly' upbringing saved me".
Exactly. You weren't "unduly influenced".
Thats what the Borg preys upon. Is the low hanging fruit on the tree.
They want jws only marrying jws. So the craziness can continue.

Im right smack dab in the generation X age.
You might know what years I'm talking about.
The 1995 generation change which they tried to to slip by us. Well it never got by me LoL.
The 1914 doctrine of "not dying out" led to my baptism a few years before that. Only to have my faith upended in the late 1990s.
anyone have any anecdotal reports of individual congregation finances since the stealth takeover by the wt of their checking accounts?.
are donations up?
can they pay their bills?.
Thomas;
Yes. A face lift. On the backs of,,,,,thats right free labor.
A face lift. New carpeting,,shingles,, Eavetroughs,, paint. Then the Borg ups & sells it.
like the org just gives up and comes out saying that all of what they are saying is untrue and that there is no armageddon, nothing.
how do y’all think the the members still in it would react?.
there be a mental health crisis i perhaps.
World Wide Church of God actually did come out and own up to it and,,yes,,, actually apologized.
Kingdom of the Cults. By Walter Martin.
I read the book. Have it.
The Borg will never apologize. They've admitted to it.
Starlight. Vee,, I see the hypothetical point you're making. I know what you're trying to say.
But the Borg will never apologize. They've said it. They reinvent themselves. The multi billion dollar tax free enterprise moves on. In a new century. Different methods of it.
october 2024 study watchtower p.16 par.15 footnote - "in some cases, qualified men in their mid-to-late 20’s may be appointed as circuit overseers.
however, such men must first gain experience serving as elders.".
(well, if jw's are dunking kids who still play with fisher-price toys & lego, they'll be ready to become c.o.
Clay is very malleable.
The user can manipulate it to form anything you want it to.
Its like people's minds in the Borg. Thats what is dangerous.
Thats why they refer to "clay".
Brainwashing.

You're going to hear the Borg demand "things that don't seem strategic from a human standpoint".
Im betting they'll become more insular. Wanting more and more financial things from the people.
Mind control is a horrible thing. With that you can manipulate people into ""giving" whats ever demanded of them.

I believe the congregation was told to leave $5000.00 in their local accounts.
You know. Just for small maintenance things like lights,,fixing doors,,toilet,, sink & other minor repairs.
