  We live a simple life

  by hoser in

  this is a video on jw broadcasting to quit your full time career, sell your house and belongings and start a window washing career.

  i agree with some of what is presented but not all.

  it is good to live within your means as presented in this video.

  Hoser - What will you do when you are too old to work and too poor to pay rent?

  
  No problems, they keep encouraging the younger ones in the congregation to assist the elderly. No help for the single mother and her children though.
  
  

  Stuckinarut - Such short-sighted guidance!

  
  Exactly and it's a strategy done on purpose. They don't want any of the JWs thinking they might get older, the big A is coming any day.
  
  It's 1975 all over again, they can't give a date but they can pretend that there is no need for future savings and possessions.

  so i have been told that a bro i know that is df is being greeted even after the convention on shunning he finds it refreshing that witnesses can use their own conscience seeing that shunning is not a law but a principle that only a privilege that applies only to antichrist some still do not believe in shunning even after that talk i happened to be at a regional on sat gb member went off subject and started to expane why a patent must shun the child nobody clapped ..

  Barrold, try smiling sometimes.
  
  Poopie, that's great. Having talked to a few JWs about shunning, I hear also that they are not as rigid on the policy as they once were. These JWs are under the impression that the GB has loosened up over the past few years, they haven't though and it may just wake up a few more when they see the GB sticking their heels in.

  so some may have read the long and boring post about our last vacation and some of the things that my wife came to tell me during our time away.

  i am adding the link here but i can summarize it for time's sake.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5768475763015680/vacation-time-reality-closing-up-on-my-wife.

  in a nutshell, right before we left, we found out of a jw couple we know well.

  It sounds like those close to you wife, like you are extremely important to her. I agree with the others and it sounds like taking it slow and steady is the best course.

  i recently came across a female youtuber called "bridget azaz".

  she has made a number of youtubes recording discussions that she has had with a number of jws.

  The theme of loyalty comes to its conclusion in the bunker video. All you need to do is remain together as JWs and you'll be saved. Kevin left and didn't make it through.

  Each and every member of this board reaches more people than they ever did going from D2D , with more effect.

  by smiddy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just reflecting about this site and it`s influence on me and what i have got out of it and it came to me that whatever subject i bring up , or others bring up , the obvious thing is we engage in discussion .that`s what it`s all about .. however , the feedback we get or the input we give , far outweighs anything we ever achieved going from d2d for the wtb&ts./ wt real estate agency /publishing house .. how many times did you have a meaningful discussion with a person at a door ?, as a jw ?

  not many i would think.. the majority of times , they were not home or not opening the door to you , so even if you did meet people they were too busy to talk to you or they just were not interested.. whereas , here on this board you engage with many people from all over the world , and we can discuss a subject as long as we want.until it runs it`s course.. i think anybody who posts here has had far more satisfaction in their interaction with other people on this board than they ever experienced in the d2d work as a jw.. and i hope that people who just lurk here can see the benefits of open discussion in a forum like this without judgement and recriminations that occur in the jw religion for speaking your mind.. smiddy.
