Do JW parents ENJOY watching their kids struggle ???
by run dont walk in.
speaking from my observations in my family .... have an uncle, very successful travel business, very well off, both kids in their 30's 40's never had a job, both in bethel and have nothing.. another had 5 kids , did very well, all kids are pioneers and or bethel kids and have nothing, one just left bethel and now living in a one bedroom apartment with wife.. and they have no future or skills, .
even my one brother, 2 kids both work part time, and pioneer, yet he would never quit his job and go into the full time work, in fact his wife just got a job.. and what bugs me about this, is, they shove it down their kids throats, and yet they would never give up their jobs, they would never pioneer, i find it disturbing and sad.. and i saw this at the kingdom hall as well, anyone have similar experiences ??

Amen to all of that! Like 40 say, I knew elders who was retired and never pioneered. And to make matters worst, some of them were PO's which meant they were in charge of assigning the service meeting parts - Guess what? They never assigned themselves for the service meeting parts about pioneering and doing more for J-Hover. I also remember the BORG encouraging the family to have at least one pioneer in the fam. This way the Elders and/or MS could say 'Yeah, I can't (don't want to) pioneer but at least I'm supporting a family member in the field.
Oh back to the original question - Yes, the hard core JDubs like wathcing their children suffer in the name of J-Hover. (Happy of the poor - blah, blah, blah). More suffering means more recognition and stage time.
On the flip side, many JDubs just love it when an ex-jdub leaves and does bad - They become the proveribal saying - "see what happens to so-and-so when they leave the BORG." However, their jaws are tight when an ex-jw does well - They say "well, they may have so-and-so but they don't have J-Hover's spirit.
Peace - LL.

Why do the Bros. get all the credit when the Sis. do all the work?
How come we accept gov't hand outs but don't get involve in politics?
How come one component of blood is acceptable and one isn't?
Why doesn't the Borg ever apologize for there major blunders?
Why is there no amicable way of leaving the BORG?

Excellent post - Of course the Dubs would say this is just bible prophecy - time of the end type of stuff. But yes, I noticed many new posters in this 'time of the end'.
People are more enlighten as time goes on - I think soon the BORG will mostly (if not already) be made up of older folks, who have no where else to go. Younger folks just ain't buying the BORG's stuff. Hell, the BORG doesn't even try thier best to retain the younger talent and prospects. However, the BORG does serve a purpose, many folks would be lost w/o them (what else is new).
Yes, times are changing, but not only for the BORG - for religion as a whole.

Great post Mic. Reminds me of an e-mail I got the other day:
F.A.M.I.L.Y. = Father And Mother I Love You.
Unfortunately the BORG doesn't know about that definition of love. I'm going to have to call the BORG "Brick City."

Gumby - No need to nick-pick or speak in behalf of someone else.
Like I said, opinions don?t amount to a hill of beans - b/c of this quote
"Epistemology--We "know what we think we know."
da Vinci - "The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions."
I?m not talking about the people who have power to enforce their opinion on others, or people who follow other peoples opinions, I?m talking about opinion as they stand on their own. Opinions are not absolute, we think they are but they really aren?t.
Plato - "True opinions are a fine thing and do all sorts of good so long as they stay in their place; but they will not stay long. They run away from a man's mind, so they are not worth much until you tether them by working out the reason. Once they are tied down, they become knowledge, and are stable."
It?s only an opinion, relax.

I agree totally. That's why our opinions don't amount to a 'hill of beans'. Our thoughts and beliefs are based on our environment and circumstances - they are not universally applied. It's usually based on someone elses narrow view of things.
In another vein - we are products of our geographic environment. That accounts for our physical features - environment plays a major role.
