    Well I think politicians could learn from them and so can we. Do you have a mortgage? Go to the bank and tell them you are simplifying your mortage payments. Thereafter, just don't give the bank any money.

    Got a private company? Need to let your staff go? Don't sack them. Tell them you've simplified their employment.

    If anyone complains, inform them they are attacking your religious belief system, in which you are exerting yourself vigorously in order to progress.

    Nothing good comes from WT. They just suck the life and money out of people who don't want to take personal responsibility for themselves. We see thru their crap, we no longer buy it. Hope to live to see the day when WT really goes belly up.

    I think the expression has its roots in the scripture "Keep your eye simple". In reality , it has become something of a corporate style buzzword.

    Indeed so, it comes from Matt 6:22 in the old NWT, which has been replaced by “focused” in the 2013 NWT, “simple” being relegated to the footnote.

    ”In the interests of simplification, we’ve removed the word simple from the translation, because it was too complicated to understand.”
