  "Do you believe that the 'faithful slave' us Gods organization and His 'mouthpiece' on Earth to supply spiritual food at the proper time. In accordance with Matthew 24;45? "

  Should you give any dissenting or unsatisfying answers to 2 or more people,, especially elders,,,,you're enroute to a one way trip to a kangaroo court.

  They'll pry, prod & question you. Any further unsatisfying answers on your part subsequent ""'removal"" of you from the Borg. Loss of the majority of your friends and family to follow.

  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.

  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.

  Reddit thread re Oct 2024 WT with picture of window washer - Theme knocking people who Planned

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  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.

  2. bible

  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.
