  JW views on saving and retirement

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  probably one of the most common causes of cognitive dissonance many jws face is the choice to plan for retirement.

  if you're a good jw, then you should believe that the end will be coming soon, surely before you retire.

  that's what i did when i was younger, blowing decades that could've been better spent because i believed the end was coming, so any planning was a waste of time.

  The cult is so sick so dangerous so toxic its best to just keep away from all of them. Family all of them. You can not save them they can only drag you down.

  My advise is that if she can not see the cult for what it is you staying with her only makes you miserable. You may have to think of breaking it off and living a life worth living. Don't stay just to stay you only make the both of you miserable.

  "Get Over It!"

  by The Bethelite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is what my children tell me... get over the whole jehovah's witness thing!

  yes, they tell me they have gotten over the whole thing and they tell me that and i need to also.

  my exgirl friend who was raised as a jw also has said the same thing.. my children say they got over it, however they are quick to point out how messed up their lives are now because of no college education and other missed opportunities.

  Make Shunning A Hate Crime

  by Lost in the fog in

  2. beliefs

  the humanist organisation in the uk wants to protect non-religious people who leave their church/religion from being punished for doing so.

  they want the religious hate crime legislation in the uk to be extended to people who are not religious.

  i hope they will succeed.

  Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.

  i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.

  it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

  looking at college not from a JW cult stand point, I think it can and many times is a huge waste of money. If one goes to college for a specific purpose like medical or business ect it can be a great way to make a career. But so many go and its only a huge social club that bends minds of oat meal into stupid left wing activist time wasters. Its only when they get older they see that the 100k bill for Russian lit is not worth the paper the degree is on. I think that is why we have so many thirty somethings living in moms basement.

  Hypocritical elders

  i used to work with an elder every day for several years.

  one thing that helped me out of the cult was his hypocrisy.

  our work was in construction and it would often run us late for meetings.

  I used to work with an elder every day for several years. One thing that helped me out of the cult was his hypocrisy. Our work was in construction and it would often run us late for meetings. I started to notice a pattern that he would have me run him home instead of dropping him off at his truck then wait for him to get dressed and drop him off at the meeting even though he knew it would mean I could not make it home to change and make it myself. This was not a one of it was the rule. He also would have his wife pick him up so he could make to meetings and leave me to finish when we could not leave the job because of leaving the customer in a bad situation, such as appliances out on the lawn ect. He never ever said I am sorry you did not make it or we need to fix this so you can make it also.

  I also remember when we were doing a job and my grandmother was dying in hospital. My mother and GF were there and I wanted to go spend some time with them. He said lets just finish because I want to go too. LOL. This was not a one of elder BS I have seen it across the board. I think that to be and elder you have to be a narcissistic ass.
