AndDon'tCallMeShirley...
I feel sorry for the average JW. The religion is abusive. Abuse makes you think you are not good enough...so you become a people pleaser. The JW's for the most part are kept "over" busy, by being taught that they have to please Jehovah, not wanting to make him sad, likewise with the dominating, cherry picking scripture twisting, Governing Body gang leader bullies. The sheeples are so busy trying to dodge bullets, examples, did I get enough time in this month, oh I was late for the Hall on Sunday, did anyone notice, I was 20 seconds short in my student talk, I was overtime with my meeting part...Bro OhSoNosy, had to council me...
What you stated...going to College or University for 4 years...being told Armageddon is coming and you cannot go..."You of little faith". How crazy making is that?!?
The GB are "white washed graves".
They know exactly what they are doing.
Now into the second year of their 4 year build, "they" are asking for even 50+ year old experienced and healthy men to take up the shackles and go to Warwick and work for free. How are those "volunteers" going to feel, in 10 years time, The GB's Armageddon has not come, and these now 60+ men, are looking retirement in the face. Would they have willingly given "freely" of themselves, if there was no Armageddon held over their heads?
OUTLAW... I would think, if they are asking, not older teenagers, or young men in their 20's, but asking (begging?) for "free" labor from older men, you can probably sign up for a few months. I could be wrong about this. Does anyone know?
By the way, I have never heard of a GB member learning how to use a nail gun, or learn how to mix, pour and level cement. They could even learn how to balance a load in a wheel barrow. What about any job that makes them sweat. But then those jobs are for "real" men. Governing Body members are abusive leeches. Leeches don't sweat.
