with the intention of spending less time working and more time in f.s i saw this many times.
an ex c.o started a carpet cleaning business with the charter being spending less time working more time in f.s.
he has long since passed away and the company is now huge being the major player in flood resteration and employing 100's of people one of the owners i spoke to recently was sick due to using to many chemicals but carries on becouse he loves the money even though he's worth millions.
My two nephews started their own cafe selling a high end coffee. Better quality than starbucks, they claim. They opened a year ago and doing very well. They know the in's and out's of social media and that has made their shop to be quite full most of the times. They are in their mid and late twenties. They are too smart to buy the current Watchtower BS. I think in time they will fade... or not. They may decide to pretend for the sake of family.
Perhaps they like the kool-aid... I hope not

so, it finally happened.
the first time i have been called out for being an apostate.
it started out innocently enough: my family and i were watching a tv show.
My parents told me why I should celebrate a country that doesn't care about me.
Funny your father said that. My mother in law (87 y.o) moved to the Unites States about ten years ago. She has never worked in the U.S. or paid any taxes, but she gets about $900.00 a month in her bank account (SS from husband and other social benefits from the government). She gets Medical, Medicare. She doesn't pay a penny of medical insurance. She qualifies for housing benefits and is planning to get them.
EDIT to add:
I forgot to write that she is a zealous JW who constantly calls the government of Satan corrupt

Two groups of crooks trying to outdo each other.
when we were practising witnesses we heard a lot about the need to be "sheeplike" , having a sheeplike attitude and personality .
a typical comment might be :.
"lasting peace & happiness just ahead" 2009 p 30.
It is a fine line between referring to a person as sheeplike and saying that he is stupid.

No, I contend that Jesus was speaking of himself and his loving attitude to his congregation when he spoke of sheep and shepherds
Unfortunately Jesus never came back to clarify the issue. Maybe he meant it the way it is interpreted by most Christians. Otherwise he would be here to make corrections. Or perhaps the whole thing is bullshit not worth arguing about, unless you are bored.
despite my often smart-ass exterior, i really don't have any desire to see the r&f dubs suffering.
i really do worry about the mental and emotional turmoil that they will experience, if and when the wtbts is truly exposed as a scam.
i know it seems unlikely to happen, but you never know..... anyway, the wt for the week was cringe-worthy to say the least.
The "Bible" claims are childish and possibly were plagiarized from the Babylonians or the Greeks, who had far more knowledge of the cosmos. Around or before the time the last books of the Bible were written and revised, Eratosthenes already had measured the circumference and the tilt of the axis of the Earth quite accurately.
Eratosthenes (lived c 276 - 195 BCE)
He is best known for being the first person to calculate the circumference of the Earth, which he did by applying a measuring system using stadia, a standard unit of measure during that time period. His calculation was remarkably accurate. He was also the first to calculate the tilt of the Earth's axis (again with remarkable accuracy). Additionally, he may have accurately calculated the distance from the Earth to the Sun and invented the leap day.[4] He created the first map of the world, incorporating parallels and meridians based on the available geographic knowledge of his era.
there are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.
but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.
yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..
takeoff the crown
Credit where credit is due.
You are impervious to reason and evidence, but at least you stay for the beating. Most JW's run away the moment they hear the first challenge.
If you live long enough and are willing to open your mind, you will look back and feel embarrassed to have believed and written all your religious non sense
