  Reddit thread - ‘Organization Finally Suggesting to Plan for Retirement’

  this information is supposed to be in the upcoming march wt.

  (i don’t go on jw dot org).

  it would sound like they are hinting at a change in thinking.. in my opinion, any such change would be yet another slap in the face to faithful pimis along with those other recent changes.. there are so many heartfelt responses on that thread and a lot of justified anger.. don’t know what to say except that i’m so glad i never listened to the religion all those years ago.

  Chalk this up to the sunk cost fallacy.

  This is what keeps long-timer, old schooler JWs going.

  Even though they realize they could be suckers,, suckered.

  There is enough information now to put any questioning doubts,,, to bed.

  But the craziness keeps going.

  What the Borg does. Its not about benefitting you,,, its in their best interest..

  Correct.

  Until we see them dismantling abusive, harmful policies,, then I'll believe they're interested in reform!!

  Not former;;.

  And time too..

  Celebrating holidays takes away time from JWism. Along with money .

  Having to cook for large amounts of guests. ""Decking the hallls"" ,,, decorations,,, focusing on holidays stuff,, instead of the Borgs..

  Its worked for the Borg for decades. And it keeps on giving.

  Yes.

  I always thought of that too. JWs not having Xmas was a way of cheaping out and not buying anything. Whether it was gifts,, decor,, whatever.

  Its worked for the Borg,,, & keeps working for the Borg. And the trend works. It benefits them.

  My story of becoming a circuit overseer after Kin Suen visited our congregation.

  by ExCircuitOverseer in

  here is my story of becoming a missionary after having kin suen (pronounced “shin”) as my circuit overseer.

  my father wanted me to go to college, but since he wasn’t a witness, i knew he just didn’t understand how close we were to the end.

  i had actually become a circuit overseer!

  I cant possibly imagine.

  What it must be like to enter the real world. After having spent decades in some la la land waiting for this Armageddon & paradise which will never come.

  Then realizing it was all a sham,,, not only the shock & horror of all that but.....

  Then to face the likelihood of being ostracized & shunned on top of all that & then ...

  Having to attempt to to navigate life in the real world where you have no friends & no marketable skills!!!
