No pension no preparation for retirement

by Mikejw in

jw
friends

a lot of my ex fellow servants must be now in their seventies, what can you do?.

no children no money no home.

it is so sad.. so many decided not to have children as the end was right around the corner and that was decades ago.

''No pension or plans for retirement''
That's because that's something the Borg will never tell it's followers to do. It's always the ''end is right around the corner''..

So true!

My father who has been an elder since the 1970's confidently told me a few years ago that the worldwide covid problem was definitely the start of the great tribulation.

I said "wow dad, what scripture from the bible are you quoting there?" He glared at me and said "I'm right, and you will see that I am right.."

Then when the 'Russian military operation' began he said " This is now the start of the great tribulation."

Again I asked, "What scripture are you quoting from to come to that conclusion dad?" More glares and long angry stares at me...

The lady who takes the cleaning job he offers might charge extra for cleaning up around any Christmas tree.

In person attendance

by road to nowhere in

we got the inevitable letter today.. meet, associate and "encourage" in person unless sick or infirm.

also dress up for zoom if you must use it.

locally over half are on zoom, 3/4 no picture.

A close family relative told me: 'the governing body have declared the global covid pandemic to be now over, but many lacking faith are refusing to attend in person and are just watching via zoom meetings.'

I said, wow, what medical credentials do the governing body have to make such a sweeping worldwide statement??

Long earie, uneasy silence..... then relative stated aggressively: 'anyway, the governing body feel most people refusing to attend are not really sick and don't qualify to just watch via zoom'....

It was said with such hatred and venom I was shocked by the power of the governing body's mind control over my relative...

I won't be going back...

Is WT Influencing Dubs To Check On Other Dubs' Activities Via ZOOM And Otherwise?

by HiddlesWife in

the reason for my question is because one pimo has noticed that there are some pimis--particularly spimis--who have remarked that they "are not going to contact nor associate with the friends who are delinquent on zoom and/or at in-person kh meetings, conventions, and assemblies".

i've noticed this as well: a few ppimis and pimqs who were very close to me and my exdub family members are hearing from them less and less lately than before last year's rc and this year's rc.

so, is the above a thing nowadays?

Vigilantes describes it well.

Elders hounding members to quit their jobs due to missing too many meetings

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

how many times did you see elders hounding congregation members to quit their jobs due to missing meetings?.

my brother worked at a grocery store at 16 years old.

he would miss tuesday's ministry school due to his work schedule.

The WT is a high control cult! Try and leave and see what happens!!!

I had a brain burp and wondered what would happen if Lloyd visited one of these communities and found faith/god/religion!!!

I hate to say it, but Dijana is probably going to stay with Lloyd until the children are grown and gone. The life she could have had will be long gone and she will be another tragedy of Watchtower and a abusive husband. Whatever Lloyd's pull on Dijana is, it must be working.

I hope I'm not being too cynical, but could Lloyd just be paying his wife to accompany him on holiday, take along the kids, wear his wedding ring etc etc.

He seems to be vacillating from being a separated single Dad seeking a new relationship and a family man...
