  i'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here and guess that the watchtower is having a wonderful time over the whole ukraine situation.

  is the whole " end of times " thing being pushed again to bring dissidents back into line .

  they must be seeing as a gift from above .

  I don’t know if I can only credit my non-JW upbringing but I’m glad I had the strength of character to ignore all this.

  You did good LongHairGal 👍

  The reason he gets a pathetically low amount from SS was because he worked part-time! In order to get a decent benefit from SS a person needs to work full-time for decades.

  What I have found out is that if a person works full time for 35 years and a good salary, he can collect maximum amount of $4,194 a month or $50,328 a year, if you wait till 70 to collect. On top of this once you hit 65 years of age, you get free Medicare to pay for health if you get the right plan. And if you are smart and have you home paid off by the time you retire, you can life a very comfortable life till it's over.

  Even if you don't get the highest salary, you can still do good just with social security alone, if you work full time. I personally think that is a pretty good deal considering that many Countries don't have anything like Social Security.

  And I know single persons that are living life like kings just on social security alone. I'm not a bible believer but even that book gave sound advice that JWs should of taken to heart instead of listening to 8 old fools in New York
  

  (Proverbs 6:6-8) . . .Go to the ant, you lazy one; see its ways and become wise. 7 Although it has no commander, officer or ruler, 8 it prepares its food even in the summer; it has gathered its food supplies even in the harvest.
  

  Pioneering was such a waste of time and I feel sorry for all those jws that just weren't smart enough to figure it out.

  I don't think that such will happen as long as the USA and Russian don't directly go to war against each other. But, will they directly go to war against each other?

  Here is your answer; Start at the 3 minute mark

  Well, now these Witnesses have reached retirement age and Armageddon hasn’t come yet. They are panicked.

  A few weeks back I ran into this JW who was picking up trash in a parking lot. I know he was a JW because he started witnessing to me about the end being close according to the bible.

  I asked his age because he was elderly and struggling to walk. He told me he would be the BIG 90 this year and his wife was 75 years old. I guess he married a sister 15 years younger. That wouldn't matter if he had money but I guess he was poor but SPIRITUALLY STRONG.💪

  I wished him a happy birthday and he told me right away he didn't celebrate birthdays.

  I asked him what in the hell was he doing working at this age? He said he only got 400 plus a month from social security and that was it. I guess he worked part time because I know some Non-jw that didn't start a retirement but they still get over $2000 a month in social security because they worked full time, plus medicare.

  I wonder how many of that generation are having to deal with this problem??

  as expected from a man who prioritizes the most vulnerable members of our community, marc has made a sober statement that explains why there's a deep conflict of interest between lloyds recent behaviour and the work they do at jw watch.

  you can read it here:.

  This will cut another big percentage of his loyal zealots from staying on as Patrons.

  Or maybe they are of the same type like those that are willing to die for refusing a blood transfusion because listening to 8 old dudes and the good they do "Trumps" their bad conduct and lies.

  Don't know if this is true, but they are saying that Bethel's morning worship, it was announced that Jehovah has given attention to Loyd and brought him down.

  this was before my time, but there was this post that had 308 comments testifying that the best thing of being a jehovah witness back in the day was the convention's meals.

  is this true?.

  One quote out of 308;
  

  I've been unable to recapture the nostalgia of that cheese danish, no danish tastes the same as it did back then. Definitely the highlight of assemblies and conventions. That and that frozen slushy orange juice cup with a foil top.-----AND THE PUDDING

  American left wing media is lying about what is happening in Canada.

  They are accusing truckers of trying to OVERTHROW the Canadian government like some tried to over throw the USA government on Jan 6 2021.
  

  Jagmeet Sing is comparing Truckers to terrorists who murdered Muslims.
