  Does becoming (or remaining) one of Jehovah's Witnesses result in Poverty? Pew Research results differ from Watchtower claims.

  by Balaamsass2 in

  "raised in the truth" during the 50s, 60s,and 70s i repeatedly read and heard from the platform how reading the magazines weekly "was the equivalent of a college education" and how many had turned their family economic situation around by being "trustworthy" and giving up expensive bad habits most "worldly people" had.

  sounded good.. what is the reality?

  how does avoiding higher education, and then spending up to 20 hours a week getting ready for, commuting, and then participating in meetings and field service affect family finances?.

  remember the made up stories of witnesses in djibouti,africa where they had to walk 2 days in alligator infested waters with no shoes in the blazing sun to attend the meetings?

  they made it to the meetings in these terrible conditions.. talk about made up stories!

  here is a field service experience that was told at yesterday's public talk which would fall into the made up stories!.

  this book was published around 1990, but was never studied (to my knowledge).

  does anyone know the reason why?.

  It was designed to know about other religion, especially non judeo Christian eastern ones and counter theur influence.

  What i remember was it was not as offensive as some books, but I was in pretty much jn then too.

  The best bok I remenber was commentary on james; we know that story

  It is never wise to wish ill of anyone, even enemies. What we do know is removed, and a well known insider. That has to be tippy toed around.

  AM was, and is, a lightning rod. I can think of 2 other GB who stand out; conehead, and rubber face.

  I remember bethelites coming home in disgrace over Franz, we didnt listen to them then, pimi will not now

  hey.

  does anyone else dread attending (in person or on zoom) the memorial months in advance?.

  literally as soon as new year hits, i feel sick and super anxious, and i've realised it's because of the memorial, which i only attend because of family, who kinda tell me the reason they have bad health is cuz i left the jw sevel years ago..

  Same talk. Crowded venue. If you perchance get the " hall", vacate quickly for the next crowd or wait until after bedtime for your turn

  as far as the beliefs, mostly right. Annual, we aint all going to heaven, real wine, ransom. This is shaded by the other thread of why we care any more; and a tendency toward agnosticism, atheism most of us feel.

  why are we interested in what is going on in the JW

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for the most of us, we have left the jws...and even though we are no longer jw, many of us are still interested in their beliefs, doctrines and practices as currently practiced.

  i was trying to sort out in my mind why i still care about what they are doing.

  i think the answer to that is a hope that something will develop in the jws that will wake up a lot of others, and selfishly, a lot of my friends.

  Blues: exactly, family, ingrained habits, inability to completely relate to experiences in the world.; bdays, haloween, xmas, military, prom, sex, beard/ long hair.

  " sin" is overtime, college, beard, real vacation, music, impure thoughts. The list goes on and on.

  JWs and Prepping

  by TD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jws i know (which admittedly are more liberal than most) are suddenly into prepping to one degree or another.

  some have simply assembled "go bags" with basic common sense supplies in case they need to bug out in the event of a natural disaster and others seem to be seriously into it, almost to the degree to which mormons are.

  backup generators and a year's supply of food and water).

  Go bags are a government idea. Amd a good one

  The rest is hubris, bible, wt for study etc. They don't want us to disappear like katrima dubs took advantage of.

  Personally my predator solution is a .22 and 9mm ( Nato). A quiet crossbow or bow is probably a good idea.
