this is something i think about a lot, possibly because i'm just getting older.
it seems that not only should i finally one day decide what i want to do with my life, but i should also be planning for retirement.. hands up everyone who feels their future has been royally screwed by the wts experience?.
if you were a good jw and followed the wts advice you could well be finding yourself facing middle or even old age without much or anything put aside in retirement savings.
What happen if you have medical expenses. A JW ex-friend had a nice
nest egg, but his medical expenses depleted his nest. His insurance only
covered a certain amount. You have this other friend that never saved a penny,
but he have a guarantee incomes until the day he dies and unlimited health care, substantial income that comes in every month and no agency can touch.
It's a bitch growing old....Which guy is better off????
firstly, there are cash flow problems in wt town.
i don't think it's necessary to list all the cutbacks and layoffs, but there have been many.. their thirst for money seems higher too in my opinion.
more entitled may be a better way of putting it.
xjwsrock: well I guess it would be a good idea in view of that fact.. How in the hell have they survived
over the years with such little donations?? So maybe they are in trouble, I hope so.

10% of what.. JW's are one of the poorest religious groups. Those JW's who are doing well
financially, hell yes we will give 10%. So what happen, folks that are not well off financially
living from paycheck to paycheck continue to give little, now we have those members that was
donating 10-20% obeying the GB giving 10%. I believe 10% tithing will result in less donations.
You know JW's and their rules..
jonah 3:5-10 the people of nineveh prayed that nineveh might be spared.
god.
answer their prayer and god did not destroy the city.. mark 7:24-30 the gentile woman prayed that jesus would deliver her daughter.
i started noticing a change at the kh.
for the past couple of weeks, the place feels quiet warm.
personally i have to take my coat off as soon as i walk in.
You would think the a/c would be as cold as possible, a lot of elderly
women, menopause. When my mom had her moments of menopause
she thought she was pregnant, my dad caught hell and I wasn't too
happy, hell I was 40 years old.

You must Sacrifice for the truth's sake, even if it kills you.
The law of sacrifice is a celestial law or maybe a Pharisees law (GB).
tight pants, colored socks, blue shirts, beards, wire -rimmed glasses... .
does anybody remember any thing else that was once or still is proscribed against faithful j-dubs?
when brothers in our kh started wearing different colored shirts rather than white, it caused a great stir and ruckus.

The Rev. John DeBonville said"Stop dressing so tacky for church".
Baggy shorts, flip-flop sandals, tennis shoes, and grubby T-shirts.
Some even slide into the pews carrying coffee in plastic foam containers
as if they'er going to Starbuck. LOL
