  'Seek the Kingdom First' Economics

  by Tornintwo in

  has anyone else's family finances been victim to the 'seek the kingdom first' economic policy?.

  for years, my husband and i have had our own business, my husband is not the most proactive guy, prefers to go in field service than to work, but he has always encouraged me to 'rely on jehovah and all these other things will be added to you', 'seek the kingdom first' etc etc.

  there have been times, such as when i was heavily pregnant and we lost a big deal, that i have been begging jehovah on hands and knees to honour that promise, wondering why he wasn't helping us.

  "Seek kingdom first" if you want to be dirt poor. It's insane what the GB ask for the pioneers, specially when no one from the territory is getting baptized. Being a need greater is a waste of time, sorry LITS. Being a pioneer is a waste of time. There so much you can learn and do. JW don't have any ambition to create to invent. That damages people's thinking and are more easily brain washed.

  I just started to go to college four months ago. I have learned more in four months, then all my life as JW. Is clear for me the reason they don't want to you to get higher education.

  a hilarious stupid wa message is being circulated amongst jws in my area / country.. i had a hearty laugh at the ignorance and stupidity and brainwashed mentality, different people may express different emotions so you have been warned.

  day one after armageddon it seems ages since we last heard the gunshots and screams, today has been really quiet.

  the last few weeks have been sheer terror.

  The building work that is being stop is major construction. Assembly halls or Remote translation offices. KH are still going to be built. I talk to branch comitee member that's not in the U.S branch. He told me they have a template letter that the U.S branch sent them. It's a 25 percent reduction around the world. Much smaller then at first talked about.

  He is in the Mexico branch the first number they told them were reduction of 700-800. Newest number is from 300-400. Their is slight change of the number going home.

  is this supposed to placate the ones who have been recently fired?

  is this a sign of the aging jw leadership?

  Episcopo was one of many hard nose Spanish D.O. Did any of you guys had Lira or Melendez? Most of these old timers are hard core will never say one bad thing. Till you get them alone.

  Years a go I was talking to a C.O by last name vanyike I'm not sure how you spell it. He told me he was disappointed that the end was not here yet. He said he wish he had a family, he was old and alone.

  Thanks to all involved in the leak.

  My taughts, first of all the teach book is already water down. I could imagine how bad the second one will be.

  Magazines, about time, like many here think magazines will be done with in a couple years. It's mostly recycled material.

  New meetings, I think there trying to get more publishers. Many elders don't let you become a publisher if you are not in the TM school. So any kid 3 and over can become a publisher with not having a TM school anymore. So publisher will go up, if your kid is 5 and not a publisher your bad parent.

  Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  heard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.

  apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.

  so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

  I will confirm with a friend that's in Warwick. The irony is that this weekend magazine talks about the importance of building KH. I really think they went over budget on the Warwick project, they used a lot outside contractors.
