this information is supposed to be in the upcoming march wt.
(i don’t go on jw dot org).
it would sound like they are hinting at a change in thinking.. in my opinion, any such change would be yet another slap in the face to faithful pimis along with those other recent changes.. there are so many heartfelt responses on that thread and a lot of justified anger.. don’t know what to say except that i’m so glad i never listened to the religion all those years ago.
So they are still encouraging PART TIME JOBS instead of a regular full time job with benefits like retirement.
So it’s only a slight change they cant actually go and say plan for retirement as this would show the end may be far off
On the other hand they don’t want millions of old JWs in hardship due to following direction of not planning for retirement

carefulIf this is true, it is a big change.The redditer who posted this on exjwreddit took one paragraph that had the phrase; "Retirement" and made it seem like the Watchtower is telling everyone that they should make Retirement a priority.
That's not what the article is saying. See link below.
Many thanks for the info and link, liam. It sounded too far off the long-held party line to be true. My impression is that the ex-Witness group on reddit is not the most critically and accurately thinking bunch!
There have been plenty of unexpected organizational changes in the last few years, but this supposed one seemed too bizarre
So is this a change in policy or not?
it does seem like a slow soft change.
I was brought up to think any kind of investment was a lack of faith. After all the end is right around the corner
how many older ones regret listening to this dangerous direction from the faith slave class
If they haven’t yet don’t a U turn they need to
they really need to do a U turn asap
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Yes he is attached to blaming all his problems on the GB forever. Even how he is sexually messed up it’s all the GBs fault for not letting him view porn or jerk off.
the interesting thing is now the GB are slacking off on those things because they know all young men do it

He must be so lonely living in his own in a foreign country where he doesn’t even speak local language

It’s amazing how they come across like they have always said this.
instead they should say sorry we got it wrong before and we should have made this change long ago.
we are especially sorry for the older ones who listened to us for decades now they are struggling as they followed direction from the slave class that was very bad advice
in the past, we used to hear talks on:.
avoiding sexual immorality and porn, as well as masturbation and other sexual practices.
why evolution cannot possibly be true.
You don’t need to do any preparation these days
you could turn up at any meeting without even looking at material and give the item as it’s all just there for you

He doesn’t want to pay for a translation so is asking for someone to work for free
sounds very familiar 🤣 I wonder where he got that idea from

This is very good news for any men who are physically in but mentally out and who are appointed because they don’t have to come off they’re appointed MS or Elder they could just stay on and keep saying no to any assignments they are given unless they feel occasionally they might want to do some of the assignments They never have to go on the ministry on first call they never have to go to meetings. They could stay on zoom or if they occasionally feel like it go to the Kingdom Hall and go to the meeting and if they feel like it and syrup and have all the association and go to the social gatherings But don’t be pushed into doing something you don’t want to do when the circuit overseer keeps asking you to do assignments just say no and when he says why not just say I’ve got too much on life is very hard if you have to earn a living yourself it’s not like those of us who have to earn a living ourselves Get a rent bills, travel food and all of their expenses paid for we have to work hard and it’s getting very difficult with the cost of living crisis

wonder what would happen if an elder kept saying no to any assignment he was asked to do? Would he get taken off for not doing any assignments
Nothing will happen. There are elders in my current and old congregation like this. I remember this one old brother who said he had health issues but was fine when it suited him. All he ever did was go to elders meetings and accept anything he liked the sound of like getting involved in judicial matters. But he never ever gave any talks from the platform
