this should go into the "Best Of" section... EXCELLENT VIDEO. SAD SUBJECT.
I ran out of tears a long time ago. I was saddened because of what Jacob and others have given of their lives, only to get nothing at the end.
I myself gave (off and on) almost 10 years to pioneering. Thankfully, I only did a 3 week (Brooklyn) and a 4 week (WT Farm) stint at Beth hell. I withdrew my ap for permanent after the second stint. I did the whole MTS thing...almost got suckered into being shipped to the middle of nowhere.
I have (probably had) a friend who is still at Bethel. I think this is his 20th anniversary. He went fresh out of Pioneer School back in 1988. He was a young MS/pioneer...still single last I talked to him. I dont hear from him anymore. He probably doesnt know about my fade. So he is in his late 30s and, though he will have some new skills for employment when (not if when) he is dismissed, who is going to hire him if he stays too long?
I have (probably again had) a friend who is celebrating her 25th year as a regular pioneer. She is in her late 40s, single, still pretty and thin. Gave up a shot a school and a good paying career to be a housecleaner and later (I believe) a nanny.... I think she is doing other things now secularly, but what is she waiting for? She will become increasingly bitter as she hits 50 and realizes this old system is the ONLY system there is going to be.
The Watchtower Society should (but isnt obviously) be ashamed of itself.
