Wal-Mart is the biggest employer in America. So a lot of 'adults' (ie, not students, for example) live on a Wal-Mart wage.
Why not just work somewhere else? Problem solved.

Wal-Mart Workers Plan Huge Protest on Black Friday
by talesin inwal-mart, which pays a top wage of $12.00+ to its full-time employees, is under attack, once again, by its employees and those who would like to unionize them.. i can't speak to the usa, but here in canada, most wal-mart employees are not full time.
it is mostly a part-time employer, so zero benefits.
in my opinion, that makes the $12.00+ look a lot smaller when you envision the actual paycheque.

The level of WT control and hubris is astonishing.
"The Faithful Slave is the source of our spiritual food".
So, WT no longer gets it first from Jehovah™?

Writing pet peeves:
"Loose" when the writer really mean "lose".
"women" (plural) when the writer is really talking about a "woman" (singular).
It don't make no sense to me....

Reject "worldly" fantasies, pursue Kingdom "realities"!!!
by DATA-DOG inhave you had the pleasure of hearing this doozy??
i believe it was presented at the circuit level first, it has filtered it's way down.. the poor eldub opens with this definition of the word fantasize:.
"to conceive fanciful or extravagant notions, ideas, suppositions, ect.

Nothing is ever their responsibility. Nope, it's Satan the Debbil and his demunz!
Except when it comes to a Judicial Committee...a one-time mistake or an ainfraction against any one of WT's nauseatingingly long laundry list if "sins" requiring judicial action is the one time a JW is fully responsible for any personal action.
Not even the "It's Satan's fault" ploy can get a JW out of that one.

He used the example of fantasizing about having every need taken care for you, with zero responsibility.
This describes WT leadership perfectly.

Here's the funniest quote in the Proclaimers book about the 1925 "Millions" campaign:
.
"Though mistaken, they eagerly shared it with others." (Proclaimers, chap. 28, p.623)
.
So I guess it's acceptable to dispense WT bulls**t in god's name...as long as JWs are 'eager' about it.

“Millions Now Living May Never Die” offered hope that many will gain life in a paradise earth after the battle of Armageddon. A talk given at the convention of Bible Students at Cedar Point, Ohio, U.S.A., in 1922 urged listeners to ‘advertise the King and his kingdom.’ This appeal helped the remnant of the bride class to reach more people with the invitation. In 1929...
Note in the 2010 WT that FatFreek quoted, no mention is made about 1925...the year Armageddon was supposed to arrive. It conveniently skips from 1922 to 1929.
Also no mention that WT predicted for nearly 40 years prior to 1914 that 1914 was the year Armageddon would arrive.
And, as correctly pointed out, the original title of the campaign was changed from "may" to the more definite "will".

'No doubt Satan believed the Millennial Kingdom was due to be set-up in 1915...Be that as it may, there is evidence that the establishment of the Kingdom in Palestine will probably be in 1925, ten years later than we once calculated.' (Studies In The Scriptures, Vol 7, The Finished Mystery, p. 128)
"Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the condition of human perfection." (Millions Now Living Will Never Die, p. 89)
There can be no more question about 1925 than there was about 1914." (Watchtower, p. 150, May 15, 1922)
"This chronology is not of man but of God . . . of divine origin . . . absolutely and unqualifiedly correct." --Watchtower 7/15/1922, p.217
.
And, after the inevitable failure came, here's how WT describes it now:
"They also thought that perhaps — just perhaps — the "ancient worthies" who would serve as princes on the earth during the millennial era would, at the end of that time, somehow be granted heavenly life" (Proclaimers, ch. 12, p. 161)
.
This quote is completely dishonest. It makes it appear that this teaching was mere speculation with no definiteness to it.

As Ray Franz mentioned in CoC, it's a pathetic situation when grown men have to call Brooklyn to get permission on decisions they should be able to make themselves based on reason and common sense.
