  WT needs your kids uneducated: CO training video is Master Class in F.O.G. This is jaw-droppingly stupid. Beyond moronic, it's sub-moronic.

  co training video: link to ex-jw reddit thread discussion.

  today is the first time i was made aware of this actual elder body video.

  it's training for how a co should handle elder's whose children decide to pursue further education.

  I never gave it much thought that the elders might discourage college just to retain cheap indentured jw servants

  I wouldn’t put it past them

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  perhaps you considering joining the wt cult - here is a concise list of why you should not.. what the watchtower demands of you:.

  1.complete obedience to them.. 2. be willing to lose your life for zany blood teachings.. 3.put other cult members before your real family.. 4.refusal to let you leave their religion when the penny drops it's a cult.. 6.accept that they can backtrack and change any of their flip flop teachings at any time.. 7. you can't change your mind about their teachings without harsh discipline,.

  8. insistence that you humbly and quickly apologise for your mistakes and errors.. 9.gladly accept they will never be apologising for any of their mistakes or errors of judgement.. 10.accept that even ones who follow and believe in the bible, but not the governing body are worthy of destruction.. please feel free to add more..

  Smoking is unhealthy anyway.

  They will over the course of your lifetime suck your soul and bank account dry.

  They will steal your youth, your prime earning years and make sure you are dependant on government handouts in your old age.

  Seems to me they don’t want you earning money but if you have made lots of money they look the other way when you miss meetings to earn some more

  I call 100% bullshit on this made up experience by fatso sanderson

  But it is a very useful manipulation tool

  Protect the governing body at all costs

  If a man in a shady car can give a large donation so can you.

  If you are tired and don’t feel like going out in service you should because we do

  Anyone saying the gb don’t go out in service is a lying apostate

  What would happen if the religion just straight out gets outed as bad? The ORG admits to it and all the members get told to disperse

  by Starlight.vee in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  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.

  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 (?).

  It is expensive to be a popular jw

  You miss a lot of paying work and you provide a lot of free labour to the watchtower corporations

  You have to take time off work for elder school and pioneer school

  my parents would buy brand new cars and have them miled out in 5 years in theocratic activities

  There is nothing left over for your retirement savings. Watchtower owns the house and the house never loses.

  Another reason to “mark” the watchtower society as bad association and withdraw from them

  Meddling in what does not concern them

  My dad had one of those calculators for work. I think it was several hundred dollars. Not exactly pocket change in 1976.

  Money that could have gone to the borg
