just a comment on your comment;
"....have reached retirement age with no preparation because they thought Armageddon would have come before this time".
jw's didn't "think" they would never reach retirement age! jw's were "told and assured" back in 1969 that they would never grow old in this system of things. Big difference!

jehovah is a made up name.
not god's real name.. therefore jehovah's witnesses is a made up name for a made-up god.. therefore when you got baptized, you got baptized in the name of a made up religion backed up by a made up god's name.. therefore jesus did not appoint the governing body since it wasn't in existence then.
no wonder the july 2020 wt tells you that you have to be convinced god has an organization.. what does this mean?
All religions, just like the so called Holy Books they follow are man made thus the eternal truth of the expression;
"In the beginning, man created god!" That's why each religion has the troff!

i have been thinking about the legal departments that look after the wts interests around the world.i can`t believe these legal eagles offer their services on a voluntary basis like the r&f do.and i don`t believe their services would come cheap.. as an organization the size of jw.org and its offshoots of companys and interests around the world ,the cost of keeping them gainfully employed must amount to a considerable sum of money.. especially the law suits against them with child abuse court cases that arise on a regular basis ,and the government inquiry`s into the jw religion that is happening in different countries now.. all paid for by the voluntary contributions that come from the r&f for the worldwide preaching work .. contributions to pay for the wt organization`s legal department to defend themselves in court ?.
did jesus and the apostles pay lawyers to defend them in a court of law with funds donated by their supporters ?.
If jehober really cared (lol) about the watchtower (lol lol) he would see to it that they prevailed in court without a high paid lawyer, or any lawyer for that matter. Another outstanding example of jehober not caring!
1,000 or so jw's dead from Covid-19! Another outstanding example of jehober not caring!

i am so sick of hearing ( wife is pimi):.
critical times so hard to deal with.
last nano second..... buy out the time.
I like
"best life ever"-------not
"jehovah's blessing"-----never had that happen
"honor jehovah with your valuable things"----------give money

i was 20 years old and at bethel for just a couple of months.
i was really depressed, as i was finding out what bethel was really all about.
i drank a whole bottle of cold duck, after a long hot subway ride back to brooklyn.
I was about 15-16 and went to a 'witness' party with 2 other 'good jw' guys! Needed that liquid courage to talk to the 'good little jw girls'!

i have been thinking and was eventually wondering about the following:.
did the flood and all wars in the scriptures eventually bear the fruits that god hoped for?
is evil gone among humans?
The Noahain flood killing everything that breathed except for the thousands of animals (lol-lol) on the ark, 1 angel killing 185,000 soldiers in 1 night, drowning the Egyptian army at the Red Sea, killing 70,000 Israelites because David took a census-----all bullshit myths that prove that GOD IS LOVE!
Not!

one thing that aggravates me is long concluding prayers, especially at the midweek meeting.
you work all day, rush home, grab a quick bite, dress up in meeting clothes.
then, go to the meeting.
Never made too much sense to me to give a speech (pray) addressed to an entity that never talks back or even acknowledges that you exist.
But when I was a kid, if I left one of my baby teeth under my pillow when I went to bed, I always woke up with a silver dollar in it's place! Who knew that the Tooth Fairy was so generous!

due to the high number of people that have been infected in the usa ,particulary in ny / ny state and elsewhere and the amount of deaths that have occured there ,i just wonder how many jw`s have been struck down by this virus ?.
in hq?.
in bethels ?.
Other than dying from Covid-19, the next worse thing that could happen to any jw is having to live the rest of their life as a jw!
just saying!
(disturbing) thought for the day.
what's happens when you get really sick?.
a. you get worse and worse, then - better and better till well.. .
Medicine is not and exact or precise science--that's why it's called "the PRACTICE of medicine". If they keep practicing, it may someday become precise!
