I too was looked down upon for getting an education and having a business. I was even told I was not spiritual enough since I was not reaching out/ pioneering. But I had the sense to see that no one and I mean no one is going to take care of me and my family. Besides, I believe in work. Someone needs help I help to get them on their feet. But don't expect a freebie. I had brothers come to me before I faded and got successful, come and ask for a hand out since they where pioneering. I have had so many business ideas pitched to me by brothers that your head would spin. Find most Jw's don't really want to work,but want easy money. In the Real World nothing is easy.

JWs are always the victims... Depending on where you're standing
by neat blue dog intwo wt pictures of an adult child leaving home, one to be a jw, and one to leave the jws.
in one, the caption says his family are 'opposing' him, but in the other he's apparently hurting them.
depends on where you're standing.. .

The senseless ''non partakers'' Jesus Memorial
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmatthew 26: 18-20 .
18 he said: “go into the city to so-and-so and say to him, ‘the teacher says: “my appointed time is near; i will celebrate the passover with my disciples at your home.19 so the disciples did as jesus instructed them and prepared for the passover.20 when evening came, he was reclining at the table with the 12 disciples.. only jesus and his 12 disciples were present at the passover .if jesus wanted observers, he would of had some sit down at his last meal and requested that they be present that day and future passovers.
why does the wts feel that observers ( non partakers ) need to attend the yearly memorial?

Why go to a Dinner party where you can't eat? Makes no sense.

Or- some Jw's would like a piece of the action? They will have to get in line and do what I do and I find most people want the money but don't want to do the work.
There is no hand out here. I wake up early and go to bed late. 6 to 7 days a week. Most people are not up for the challenge. Especially Jw's. They want easy money.

Longhairgal- I think you're on to something there. They see my life successful ( yeah, right!? I got troubles too.) Family business. An more and likely they would like see some of that cashflow go into the Watchtower 's bank accounts. Let's invite Brother So-So and Love Bomb for the Loot and control.

Your lucky! I have never received so much mail. What a waste of their time. I don't even respond to these morons because as soon as they get that phone number, they'll blow that up too. And if you reason with them they either run away or tell you they will get back with you. It depends on what you say. But when you start questioning their core beliefs, they will call you evil and run for the hills. I just don't want their mail or their crap.

First off, I have made it real clear with Jw's my thoughts on being a Jw. I'm out, there is no coming back.
Second, I'm on their " Do not call list" .
So why now all of a sudden my mailbox is getting bombed 💣 by their memorial invites and letters?
Don't they follow their do not call list? It's getting ridiculous how much mail I get from these Bozos.

I still have an old aide book and book of James. The one of the elders was looking at my personal book collection and told me that more than half of it is " old light" and I should get rid of it. I told him you should learn your history on everything. I guess they don't like their past history. It is better to have answers you can question
Then. Questions you can't ask.

I would thank Ray Franz personally! His book CoC what little I did get the chance to read was eye opening and confirmed my thoughts of Watchtower and Jw's all along. Nothing more then a busines hidden behind a religion.

Going to the gym was frowned upon, much like getting higher education. I'm a bookworm by nature and would study something to it's end. I was told by an elder that we don't have to think. The " Organization " has done the thinking for us. After getting an education I saw why they frown on education. Once you educate yourself you will see all the cracks in Watchtower. Then, the jig is up!
