A circuit overseer chastised a friend of mine and his wife because they bought a house with some land. The circuit overseer told them that mortgages
were from the devil.
Another circuit overseer was telling people in the hall to sell their houses and rent, and you won't regret simplifying your life.
I thought that it would be fair if the watchtower sold all their kingdom halls and other buildings and simplify THEIR life and rent buildings. This would
set the example for the rest of us.

This is another fine spiritual gem from the january 2013 study edition.
As the great tribulation nears, we do not want to be plagued with such anxious thoughts as these:'could I have done more in God's service? Why
didn't I pioneer when I had the opportunity? What prevented me from reaching out to serve as a ministerial servant? Did I put on a real effort to put
on the new personality? Am I the sort of person Jehovah wants in his new world? Instead of just worrying about such sobering questions, we want
to use them to analyze ourselves and make sure that we are giving our best in Jehovah's service. Otherwise, we could be continuing in a way of life
that may result in even more regrets.

In the january 2013 study watchtower:
Alex got caught up in trading in the stock market, thinking he could soon quit his job and enter the pioneer service. He became ever more
engrossed
in studying various offerings and market reports. Using his savings and money borrowed from brokers, he bought stocks that analysts predicted
would quickly rise in value. Instead, they dropped sharply. "I was determined to get my money back, " Alex relates. "I felt that if I just held on,
the stocks would come back up."
For months, Alex could think of little else. He found it difficult to focus on spiritual matters, and he lost sleep. But the stocks never rebounded. Alex
lost his savings and had to sell his house. "I caused my family great pain," he admits. But he learned an important lesson."I now know that anyone
who puts his trust in Satan's system will be profoundly disappointed."
