  Advice to reduce hours earn less and spend more time on the ministry

  the advice to reduce work and earn less to spend more time preaching has not aged well.. the cost of living crisis means many have more going out on necessities than they have coming in.. so many asked their employer to reduce their hours and refused promotion only to see their colleagues go up the ladder when they stayed lowly position with rubbish jobs thinking the end will be here soon.

  next week midweek meeting is all about preparing for an economic crisis.. they say have a go bag and new advice for all jws to store food and water at home and grow a vegetable garden, i kid you not.

  this is the new direction..

  There are many who were told to ‘put the truth first’ ahead of everything even family, even looking after aged parents. Make sacrifices even good careers even your life savings.

  There we’re some couple and some individuals who have up a lot to serve full time free labour for the fat Rolex wearing men at the top.

  When they get old themselves their free labour is now longer valued and they are cast out.

  then the next generation of younger ones are deceived into giving the life to free labour.

  those older ones who were cast out are really struggling to find somewhere to live and support themselves

  it’s very unfair because the lucky few get to be special pioneers and have all their expenses met and live in easy street

  Yes I remember the direction to look after elderly parents of those in full time service so they don’t slow down in their assignments. Yes this was twisted and applied to every elderly parent in any congregation.

  ”This probably contributes to the mentality among some Witnesses that other people are going to look after somebody’s elderly parents. They heard it somewhere. Now, every Tom, Dick & Harry thinks this.”

  The problem stems from all the decades of direction to reduce secular work and don’t plan for retirement.

  now all those getting old who followed the gov body direction for decades are a burden on someone. They did not plan for retirement.

  if only they planned for retirement, but no they were told not to it would be a lack of faith. They were directed to reduce secular work and still give funds to those fat Rolex wearing men living in luxury.

  when I think back to all the assembly party’s and experiences of those who could have had good careers but sacrificed it all to get a shitty low paid job to pioneer full time.

  now these ones are getting old and their peers who worked in good careers can afford good health care and professional careers.

  Those who follow governing body direction just can not afford professional careers and are now a burden on someone. The state, the congregation? Who should pay for their old age care?

  most countries can not afford for so many older ones relying on the state to fund their old age care.

  especially if they didn’t make any plans for retirement while they were young.

  the governing body needs to address this problem that they have made.

  yet they are still promoting work less in shitty jobs so you can pioneer and don’t think about better qualified positions just be a cleaner and Jehovah will look after you 😡

  Yes it’s always supposed to be confidential when someone gets disciplined, but what they did always gets out once the local needs about that thing is given.

  there were a lot of bethel lectures and videos about alcohol abuse but this is not conclusive.

  just like the truth about vaccines not being safe or affective will come out, eventually the truth about why Tony got booted will come to light one day.

  “some adult JWs are expecting other Witnesses to look after their elderly parents there.“

  that is absolutely what is happening. These older ones want to go to the convention all three days but need full time care.

  The adult children should either pay for professional careers or do it themselves not take advantage of kind souls in the congregation.

  one old sister who wants to come on the ministry and get to all the meeting’s because she is bored and lonely at home is proving to be a huge burden on the congregation.

  her daughter and son in law who for some reason don’t lift a finger helping her say someone has to start getting her ready an hour before then she needs constant care and giving her lifts everywhere.

  they have the cheek to ask the elders how is mum getting there and who is assisting her? The elders should say back to them “what have you got planned?” What have the family arranged.

  it’s a let peave of mine.

  there are lovely but gullible ones in the congregation who are struggling themselves and I feel they are being taken advantage of

  It’s true that when someone is asked to leave Bethel there is always a local needs to about what it was why they left.

  I remember one brother left and next family watchtower there was a local needs about master nation for example.

  yes there were lots of mention of alcohol after Tony was kicked out.

  I am amazed that still nothing has leaked about where he is now, is he still a brother did he take the emblems?

  they are really keeping a tight ship perhaps even those close to the situation don’t know and it’s only the remaining members of the GB who know and they don’t even tell their wives?

  It seems to me that struggling JWs now have this entitlement mentality that someone else should pay for their convention expenses and they are entitled to be picked up and taken home for meetings and ministry.

  They think they sacrificed so much for JWdom and this is the reason they can’t afford the basics and are struggling to pay rent and bills. Nothing to do with them following advice to not get educated and just get shitty part time cleaning jobs so they can spend countless hours free labour knocking doors for the governing body.

  some of these older ones simply say “how will I be getting there? Who will be taking me home, I want to call in to this or that place first”

  they genuinely think they are entitled and they just expect others to pay for them and do things for them.

  don’t get me wrong it’s wonderful to help older ones if they are appreciative and if they have nobody else. But often these older ones expecting others to pay for them have grown up children who are moaning that the congregation is not looking after their parents well enough

  Is it ruined though? I suspect he will carry on producing videos which is very bad for the apostate community.

  Its like saying look what happens when you leave JWs you become a fat, sad bitter old pervert who has to pay for special female company

  There is also a big problem these days with the disaster relief plans.

  the branch use free labour from volunteers to do the work and then the branch gets the insurance money, it’s a big money spinner

  the problem is often the brothers who’s homes were damaged were much more wealthy than those they are volunteering to help. They fix up these homes for free then go back to a cheap little rental and must be wondering this doesn’t seem right?

  There are some young brothers who have no trades they are just cleaning and cutting grass

  they are struggling as much as anybody

  some older elders and pioneers are also struggling and these young brothers were asked to help them by the body of elders

  which really meant free labour

  This elderly couple have adult children in the truth but they are so ‘busy’ they ask the parents congregation to look after them.

  the elders just ask these brothers to cut the grass, fix the gutters and clean for them. No money as everyone is broke from following direction.

  I feel these young brothers are being taken advantage of and the real adult children should be paying them or at least doing it themselves. But of course they are simply too ‘busy’

  this older couple can hardly walk to the bathroom these days but want to go to the convention. They are asking for special parking tickets but they can’t afford a car. The adult children should take them but no they are saying the congregation must take them and pay for them and look after them all three days
