The bible standard of 70 or 80 still holds. Few 80ish people make 90, hardly any 100
Aches, declining functions befall is all. Not to mention cancer and unforseen things. You may feel 50 is old, but wait

How old is old?
by joey jojo inhaving a conversation with a pimi elder and i asked him how he deals with the fact that he never expected to get old.
i get the feeling that some dubs still have the original generation explanation hard-wired, even though they claim to accept the new version.
so my question is, how old do you have to be to be considered old?

In the past 10 years or so with the exception of born ins I have seen only one normal person come in. And will have to watch him to see how it plays out. Alk the rest have been low IQ misfits or ones needing medication. Lots of the young ones fade and disappear or get DF

Elders given immunity for sins in the past???
by Kingdavid41 inappointment and deletion of elders and ministerial servants.
situations that require a review of an appointed brother's qualifications.
25. committed a disfellowshipping offense years in the past and the matter was never addressed: the body of elders may de- termine he can continue to serve if the following is true: the im- morality or other serious wrongdoing occurred more than a few years ago, and he is genuinely repentant, recognizing that he should have come forward immediately when he sinned.

In the past = got away with it
Has jehovahs blessing = fits in with the good old boys club, or has money

What was the retirement plans you heard brothers talk about if any
by JimmyYoung ini know some would not think about retirement.
i had one brother who would pioneer as he could afford and when he paid off his home he was about to collect social security.
he made enough that his plan was to work two to three days a week and pioneer the rest of the week.

That IRA money would have been thrown in the street. You were supposed to donate it so some CO could brag about all his vacations without ever working

They are Still preaching against careers!
by LongHairGal ini saw on another forum a post somebody made about the melbourne assembly.
it seems the religion is still knocking full time jobs/careers and saving for retirement.. you would think at this point in time - after thousands of bethelites were sent home; many thousands of rank & file jws are at or near retirement age with no preparation - that the religion would change its tune, but no.
they are still stubbornly sticking to their guns on this issue.. i’m sorry for any young jws who listen to this.. i’m just glad i never followed their advice and certainly would not want to be in any congregation surrounded by these desperate people!.

The critical thinking and association has to be a lot of it. The policy makers have never had to pull their own weight, never really associate with Webelos and tell stories of the admirable people who walk 10 miles across crocodiles for meeting, on one leg. Look at the videos, homes most of couldnt afford depicted as average
Few of us want immense wealth or fame. ( i would prefer anonymity and wealth).
All the bible examples they hold up as examples had wealth. I remember the comments in a book about lydia " she was WEALTHY ". And abraham's tent did not come from Walmart
