by lola28 inhello old friends, i've been thinking about going back and need you all to give me your thoughts on it.. the last year has been a horribe one for me, in the span of less than a year the following things have happened to me:.
lost my mom to cancergot hit by a carhad a professional set back that will cost over 600k to resolveended a three and a half year relationshipit just feels like every time i think things are going to get better something else hits me and knocks me down, a small part of me wonders wether i brought all these things on myself because i left the organization (yes i know how silly that sounds) and i have given serious thought about going back.
i need you guys to talk me out of it!.

I have decided to become rich...and have told all my JW employees...and this really rambles otwo!
by oompa inwell its been a few years since my two oldest and key employees/inlaws testified against me for actually doing interesting and thorough research about things i had legitimate questions about....and was foolish or wise enough to share it with my friends and family lmao!
and its been over a year since i was read out as a da apostate...(and kinda vocal about it so i am pretty much the anti-christ poster child around here).... maybe it is another thread but i cant believe these guys have not quit and they said they might due to bad conscience and pressure from elders/others...we are talking 10 to 20+ year employees and one husband wife team in that group...but also an elders wife part time of only a few years (all of whom i still love btw)...a superfine pioneer and her ms husband who is mr big in rbc stuff...and most have zero retirement except for what i have funded the past 12 years...i have had a pretty good business for a long time with never any real goal of making a lot of money because that was for sure a forbidden goal...and i did not want to look materialistic lmao!!!!!!.
but now with concerns about forever funding my own health care insurance as i always have, and losing half my assets in divorce and paying alimony for the next decade...it dawned on me that i can and should focus on growing the heck out of my biz as i think me and all my employees are gonna need a lot more money than they now have... if we want to stay in the usa anyway.... so i had a meeting and told everone there was a reason for our recent growth...and why for the first time in my life i am actually excited about it getting huge instead of being afraid of that...and how for personal reasons i never really thought about the need for a big retirement fund or saving for heath care at all until my late thirties probably...but that i have decided i am going to make a bunch more money now and am focusing on that for the first time ever...and that they need to make a bunch more money too believe it or not...now they have been very excited and into their jobs and how well they are doing them...so i shared my plans with them and said they can all stay on board and enjoy the fruits of our own hard labors...or they can get the hell off the bus...nobody has turned in their notice.

Just some personal ramblings. Move on if you want to argue.
by OnTheWayOut inokay, first of all: i like the earth, the polar bears, the whales, and any other part of the planet that someone wants to help.
i appreciate any efforts that people exert.
the planet is going through global warming and pumping exhaust from automobiles and factories and other sources does contribute to the global warming.

Wills. Some advise
by Zordino inmy parents are now reaching their 80's and have a substantial portfolio.
although i've never actually seen their will, they've mentioned that they may be leaving quite a large sum (roughly 25%) of their estate to the watchtower corp. my questions are.
a. once the money is sent, if requested back by one of the children is there any way to get the money back from the corp?.
