You can't feed kids a years-long steady diet of woke ideology,
All it takes is a month Sea Breeze, believe me. I have a friend who within a month, started spouting that crap at me.
Me and my friends brought him back to his senses.
like the one in tennessee, this one in maddison, wi, was done be a female.
the police chief points out that: .
“yes, i don’t know whether [the shooter] was transgender or not, and quite frankly, i don’t think that’s even important.

This is the Watchtower Study Article being studied Today. So it’s the Current New Light!
This is from the Oct 2024 WT Study Article 41
They are continuing to entice the Young Men to Pioneer, (instead of going to a University) become Elders, and Circuit overseers. What are the NEW Qualifications to be an “Elder-aka older man...and Circuit Overseer?
Qualifications Needed………………...You need to be at least 20 years old!
EXAMPLE ONE - PIONEER
12 When Nortey was 16 years old, he began to study the Bible. Soon, though, his family opposed him. What helped him to remain firm? His Bible teacher had used Matthew chapter 10 to explain that true Christians will be persecuted. “So when the persecution started,” Nortey says, “I was convinced that I had found the truth.” His teacher also helped him to reason on Matthew 10:16 so that he could be both cautious and respectful when discussing religious matters at home.
After his baptism, Nortey wanted to pioneer, but his father expected him to go to university.
Rather than tell Nortey what to do, his teacher drew him out with questions and helped him to reason on Scriptural principles. The result? Nortey decided to enter full-time service.
Notice that the Watchtower does not tell young ones what to do. they just reason on scriptural principles. No court can ever blame the WT for forcing the young ones to pioneer. It was their religious choice.
EXAMPLE 2 – BECOME A CIRCUIT OVERSEER LIKE THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS
13 While on earth, Jesus perfectly cared for the work his Father had given him to do. (John 17:4) But Jesus did not have the attitude, ‘If you want something done right, you must do it yourself.’ During his three-and-a-half-year ministry, he trained others to do the work. Before returning to heaven,
Jesus entrusted his disciples—some of whom may have been in their 20’s—with the responsibility of caring for Jehovah’s precious sheep and taking the lead in the preaching and teaching work.
EXAMPLE 3 BECOME AN ELDER IN YOUR 20S
15 How can elders imitate Jesus? They must train and assist men, including those who may be relatively young, to qualify for greater responsibilities.
16 Consider how a brother named Patrick benefited from counsel. As a young person, he tended to speak harshly and to act unkindly, even toward sisters. A mature elder noticed Patrick’s weaknesses and gave him kind but straightforward counsel. “I am glad he did,” says Patrick. “I used to get discouraged when I saw other brothers receiving privileges of service that I wanted. But the elder’s counsel helped me to see the need to focus on humbly serving my brothers and sisters instead of on receiving some position or privilege in the congregation.”
As a result, Patrick was appointed as an elder when he was in his early 20’s.—Prov. 27:9.
Foot note; In some cases, qualified men in their mid-to-late 20’s may be appointed as circuit overseers. However, such men must first gain experience serving as elders.
Whoo! You can be an elder and a Circuit Overseer in your early 20s!
And you can even have a beard and a mustache to make you look older!
Example of what today's Elder/ Circuit overseer will look like.
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!
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.
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.

"learn from jehovah’s loyal servants".

What a dangerous and destructive religion if that's true.
It's true! Here is the article from their own website
https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-february-2016/loyal-servants-of-god/
like the one in tennessee, this one in maddison, wi, was done be a female.
the police chief points out that: .
“yes, i don’t know whether [the shooter] was transgender or not, and quite frankly, i don’t think that’s even important.
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.
