  Make America Great Again.......Maybe...........For all you on Social Security.

  by liam in

  2. current

  so there's a bill called the social security fairness act that "might" help those on social security.

  the bill is something trump said he would push for once he become president.of course there is some rinos and democrats who don't want the bill because they still want to fund wars that americans have no business getting involved.

  all the president has to do is signed it "if" he makes it into office.. this could go in effect as soon as next year.

  You know Social Security is not bad actually. In many cases it's more than some pensions from the State or what a private firm provides.

  For example, the maximum amount a person can make with Social Security is $58,476 a year, plus Medicare Advantage. Not bad for a person who is retired and has his house paid for. Plus someone like that more than likely has a nice amount in his Savings Accounts spread through different banks and stock.

  Those poor pioneers that believed with all their heart were scammed. They could have lived a fairly decent life if they hadn't been taken advantage of their ignorance. That's why I believe all religion is dangerous. It main purpose is to take advantage of the gullible and enrich itself.

  I guess we were lucky. I for whatever reason didn't fall for the Watchtower's promise of paradise, and continue to work cause I enjoy it. And you also didn't fall for their fantasy promise.

  We made it to the bank!

  But, some people (not just Witnesses) mistakenly think they can get regular SS even if they never worked.

  Yea............IN THEIR DREAMS!

  Here is a brief list of things required to get SS, from their official sites
  

  You may be eligible for Social Security
  benefits by earning Social Security
  credits when you work in a job and pay
  Social Security taxes.
  We base Social Security credits on the
  amount of your earnings. We use your
  earnings and work history to determine
  your eligibility for retirement or disability
  benefits or your family’s eligibility for
  survivors benefits. We cannot pay
  benefits if you don’t have enough credits.

  On a side note, DOGE aka Department of Government Efficiency, is planning to crack down on people who abuse the system and get disability checks but are able to work. This would mean that the practice of getting disability from the Gov. and then pioneering won't work anymore because the new rules will specify that if a person is getting disability, that will mean the person will have to be in bed, disabled most of the time to qualify.

  If someone is getting disability money and pioneering, and gets caught, they will haul his ass off to prison and he can pioneer there in prison.

  In fact, Elon said he was planning on stopping all fund for the homeless. Either they go to a medical facility for help or go to prison, but no funds for them to by drugs.

  They are going to crack down on the Lazy!

  Hi LongHairGal

  It's true what you say, We're talking about people who worked the required amount to qualify for SS. If a person didn't get the credits they were supposed to in order to qualify for SS, they are cooked. No soup for them.

  But if a person did get the credits and didn't put in much money into their fund, they will not get as much as a person who worked 'Normal' .....meaning they weren't the type of people that worked part time to pioneer.
  

  A person who made 10k a year for life, will not get the same amount as a person who made 50k a year for life. So yes, big difference.

  This is only if Trump makes it to the Presidency and signs the bill. So it's not written in stone Yet.

  I'm sure the Governing Body will take the Credit somehow, just like they took the credit for the food that they distribute to their members during Covid, which was really coming from the Government and not from the GB.

  This will be good News for the Governing Body, because now they can say Jehovah provided of the Pioneers who didn't work that much
  

  We will have to wait to see how much and who will benefit, but it looks like a good thing.

  It's what Trump wanted, MAGA instead of Make Ukraine Great Again.

  We will have to wait and see, so don't go buying a sports car yet. But I'm happy for all you old folks and my parents who will be on Social Security soon.

  HOW TO BE LOYAL TO JEHOVAH

  by liam in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a post from another exjw site, shows how throughout the years, in a regular, systematic fashion, the watchtower has influence thoroughly; an ideological point of view, in the minds of it’s members by using bible scriptures and examples, to get the members to do the unthinkable, even if it clashes with modern ethics.

  february 2016 watchtower, paragraph 3 of the article titled .

  "learn from jehovah’s loyal servants".

  Mass Killing With Car In Germany Kills 5, Injures 200 People, Why Not Ban Cars?

  Five people are dead, Two hundred people are injured, Forty are in Critical Care. But it's just not this incident of mass murder with a car. I remember seeing a news report from France years ago, about a man using a truck to kill a final total of 89 people, and injured Hundreds of others, and before he died, jumped out of the truck and starting shooting at everybody in his line of sight.
  

  It's not Guns or Trucks or Cars.................IT'S CRAZY PEOPLE!

  Some people are just Crazy for what ever reason, and you can remove all the guns in the world and all the Trucks and cars, and the Crazies will still find a way to slaughter as many innocent people as they can, and rape as many innocent children before you put them down.

  Anyone can be crazy. A preacher, a banker, a child, a dainty woman, a fragile man, Anyone.

  The politicians, the legislators and judges are not the brightest people in the world. They exacerbate the problem by making laws that allow these sick people free access to innocent defenseless citizens.

  We have to accept the world we live in is filled with people who have no problem killing innocent children, let alone innocent adults. And no God, no matter how many times you sincerely pray, is going to save you or your family from these sickos. It's up to you to save yourself or at least level the playing field with an equalizer.

  EXAMPLE;

  February 2016 Watchtower, paragraph 3 of the article titled

  "Learn From Jehovah’s Loyal Servants".

  In an attempt to cover up his adultery with Bath-sheba, David had Abishai’s brother Joab arrange to have her husband, Uriah, killed in battle. (2 Sam. 11:2-4, 14, 15; 1 Chron. 2:16)

  Abishai may have known something about this, but he continued to respect David as the king appointed by God.

  Moreover, Abishai ……….Rather, he defended David against traitors and other enemies.​—2 Sam. 10:10; 20:6; 21:15-17.

  In a very subtle and round about way, the Governing Body is telling the members, that as God’s appointed ones, if they are responsible for the Murder or injury of an of innocent person, man, woman, or child, you must be like Abishai, Loyal to God’s appointed one and show respect by leaving it in Jehovah’s hands instead of bringing Worldly authorities in to resolve the matter. Considering that all worldly authorities are controlled by Satan.

  Isn’t that what happened years ago before the internet?

  Finally the internet exposed all the thousands of hidden cases of Child sexual abuse by Elders appointed by God's Holy Spirit.....another stop think method to keep the member quiet.

  Now the internet is exposing all the other ethical crimes committed by the WT, like no blood transfusions, shunning, deception,etc.
  

  The GB knew they were going to be exposed so they made the quote in one of their Study Publications..........We must be ready to obey, even if it doesn’t make sense.

  but the reality is that you'd have to be totally blind to not see that the US is the most violent western country in the world

  Yea, that's why MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of Mothers, Fathers, their children and tons of Grand Ma's and Grand Pa's are risking their lives, traveling thousands of miles on foot, and dealing with drug cartels, bandits, no food and very little water to drink, to come to the U.S.A.

  BECAUSE IT'S THE MOST VIOLENT WESTERN COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

  Make total sense to any reasonable person

  Reddit thread - ‘Organization Finally Suggesting to Plan for Retirement’

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this information is supposed to be in the upcoming march wt.

  (i don’t go on jw dot org).

  it would sound like they are hinting at a change in thinking.. in my opinion, any such change would be yet another slap in the face to faithful pimis along with those other recent changes.. there are so many heartfelt responses on that thread and a lot of justified anger.. don’t know what to say except that i’m so glad i never listened to the religion all those years ago.

  I believe the article shows the religion wants to have it both ways. ‘Preach and don’t prepare for retirement/live in poverty’ and/or ‘Prepare for your Retirement but keep quiet about it’.. It’s called talking out of both sides of your mouth.

  Yep I agree!

  I imagine they are doing this so if in the future, If non-jws try to accuse the Organizatin that they discouraged the members from preparing for retirement, the Watchtower can say;

  "That's not true, we've always encouraged our members to plan for retirement, just take a look at this WT study article where we encouraged our members to plan for retirement."

  At the same time, they tell the members "THE END IS CLOSE...PIONEER IF YOU REALLY LOVE jEHOVAH!"

  It's no wonder those poor people are so messed up!
