Many Jw’s Love to Speculate About the New System

by Davros in

a comment on another thread cracked me up where the poster related what some elder said on the platform that: .

in the new system, we likely will not have genitals.” lol.

i’ve heard so much speculation from many jw’s on what will and won’t be allowed in the new system.

I always laugh at all the modern conveniences that show up in the "new world" - lumber cut with laser precision, plastic beach balls, gigantic panes of glass in the windows of the mansions every resident will have, etc.

None of which would be possible without the intricate, sophisticated, polluting, capitalistic infrastructure present in "this wicked world", not to mention the millions of people who would have to work the same types of boring, repetitive jobs to sustain that complex industrial-grade system.

You can't have all the plastic balls, beach umbrellas, leather shoes, metal belt buckles, etc. shown in their drawings for the billions of "resurrected ones", while simultaneously the only occupations in the world are [farmer], [construction worker], [Bible teacher] and nothing else.

Somehow those "new world speculations" always assume that technology and infrastructure will continue uninterrupted at 21st century USA-level standards.

As of a few minutes ago, Trump's lead in Georgia is down to 665 votes.

Repetition for emphasis:

Get used to saying it: President-elect Biden

Washington Post: The Secret Service is sending reinforcements to Wilmington starting Friday to help protect Joe Biden as his campaign prepares for the possibility he may soon claim victory in his bid for the White House, according to two people familiar with the plans.

after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

Pioneers privilige

by justice34 in

organization and congregation seems to give so much attention to the pioneers and the hours.

encouraging the members to get even the 30h at the month of c/o visit even if they don't complete the minimum of the hours.

why do they give so much praise and attention to pioneers?

If you make someone think they are special, make them think they are superior to others, even though you treat them like festering pig pus, most of them won't notice.

By making pioneers feel "special" about themselves, and superior to "plain old publishers", they won't notice that they are doing utterly meaningless wheel-spinning drudgery. Instead they'll think "Well, the work is pointless and dull, but at least I'm better off than that poor slop who's only a publisher".

It's nothing new or unique to JWs. The Jim Crow laws were not so much pure racism as they were an economic lever against poor rural whites. "We'll pay them a pittance to work in our textile mills and won't let them unionize, but so long as they think they're better off than those g-d n*****s, they won't notice."
