The Poor the Wealthy and the Middle Class
by Simon inthe poor spendthe middle-class savethe wealthy invest.
the unique circumstances of the lockdown and stimulus checks has highlighted these differences in stark ways.. on one hand, you have jumps in sales and valuation of companies like foot locker and nike, as people spend their "free" government money on sneakers.

The middle class spend too much time and money being middle class. It costs money and takes time to maintain social status. That’s why they are going nowhere financially.
It is much like being a Jehovah’s Witness in good standing. You have to do all the right things(aux pioneer, be elder, go to international conventions) to keep your status. This keeps them tired and broke.
Every society needs slaves and that’s what the little people are. It’s rigged up to use our human nature against us to keep us on the treadmill all the while thinking we are free and somehow better than the next guy who lives in a little bit smaller house than we do.

Where I live they keep closing halls and amalgamating to larger centres. But there is no growth, only decline.

The system is set up to keep people poor. The system needs the working class poor. If every last member of the poor caste figured out that instead of squandering their money on Nike shoes they should buy Nike stock the share price would suffer as there would not be as many shoe sales.
Poor people are easier to control. Keep them so busy on the work treadmill and throw them the odd crumb of government handouts and entertainment that they are just too tired to think about how badly they are treated. -

I’ve always had the habit of investing my overtime earnings from work. That way I don’t get used to spending more than I actually earn and I’ve had a few in between job times where I dipped into those savings until I could secure another job.

JWs who are now paying the price of following the cult.
by mickbobcat inmy in-laws are two such people.
people who pioneered and did not work and try to save, instead they made just enough to get by and waited for the end to come.
now my mil is in palliative care and the state is paying for her keep, my fil lives in a dilapidated home and can not keep it up.

I know more than a few baby boomer converts with well off non Jw parents live the spiritual life. Even with their inheritance they are still broke.

I saw that video on jw org about the guy that gave it all up to serve at bethel. What they don’t tell you is that not everyone can go.
Some relatives of mine jumped through a lot of hoops for a number of years and ultimately ruined a good retirement for themselves for the branch to reject application after application.

Question
by Gorb inwhat is the probability that a religious organisation is used for money laundering?
for example, large amounts of money are raised by the organization as a donation and then legally introduced into the financial system.
is there any chance that jw.org is used for this kind of purpose?

Check valves and diodes prevent the back flow of money in the Jehovah’s Witness religion.
It’s funny that more can’t figure that out or don’t get the courage to do something about it.
