Jws that go to all you can eat buffets and overeat
Maybe it’s because they are poor and want to get their value from it
fruits of the spirit would surely be required to be gb members?
yet some of them seem to lack self control when it comes to eating.
br herd, mark sanderson and br jackson in these are all very obese.. if they travel to poor places wearing their rolex watches and gold pinky rings the brothers there will surely wonder why they are so fat.. there are many scriptures talking about not being greedy and not gluttonous for food.. if they were really chosen by god as his channel on earth then why can’t they show the fruits of the spirit and show self control when it comes to being gluttonous?.

i knew a lady who was disfellowshipped for 20 years for smoking.
she finally went back to the kh and since they couldn't find her paperwork, (all the former elders were dead) she was allowed back in without reinstatement.
no one even remembered her.

They really know how to kick people when they are at their lowest
when i was growing up i remember many young people interviewed on the platform at assemblies.
the ones who really stood out are the talented ones who gave up amazing lives to pioneer.. i remember specifically when i was a boy in the 70s and 80s some who were very good at sport or something.
their teachers begged them to get professional training use their talents to the full.
To be fair those who had promising sports/music careers are used to enrich others just like the watchtower enriches themselves on the backs of its members
A very, very small percentage of “promising” sports and music stars make it to fame and recognition.
The coaches, schools recording studios make a living on the backs of these people they promise to be stars
wt july 2025 make decisions.
however, if we are humble and modest, we will be quick to absorb the bible-based advice we hear and to benefit from it.. and like david, we should be willing to listen to good advice, no matter who gives it.
an unmarried friend might be helpful if he bases his advice on bible principles.
Blondie:
The problem with “bible based advise” from fellow believers is that most of the time the bible isn’t even referred to.
i scanned this article and i saw a theme throughout it.
when info like this shows up in the study wt, you can be sure the elders are doing it wrong and the wts hits directly on what it is.
older elders do it wrong and train by word and action the newer elders to do it wrong.
The problem I’ve encountered more often than not is unwarranted counsel.
Being falsely accused and punished based on gossip and slander,
i was doing some research on the taxable status of money being gifted to co’s and travelling missionaries and was surprised with what i found.
i had assumed that it was not taxable income in australia.. it is taxable income in australia and it‘s likely that the same rules apply in some other countries.. a registered religious institution only receives tax free status on donations because they have been endorsed by the australian tax office.
travelling overseas and missionaries are not in this category.. there’s a tax ruling that goes into great detail.
They could amass quite a sum after many years in the travelling work
how encouraging one finds the experience of a liar.

philip brumley is a legal counsel associated with the jehovah's witnesses organization, having worked for about 40 years at their world headquarters' legal department.
He was born of watchtower privilege so to speak.
His parents were well connected with the watchtower establishment both being missionaries.
He wasn’t the bastard son of a struggling single mother who committed immortality with his worldly father.
the july 2025 watchtower has a paragraph that claims that it was the superior power and wisdom of jehovah that guided the gb into allowing jws to grow beards.. the study article is ‘can you still learn from basic bible teachings?’ under the subheading ‘jehovah is the creator’ paragraph 7 states-.
“ 7. what did rahela do to accept a change in direction?.
your answer.
The only reason they write stuff in the watchtower is to correct the followers.
There must be a report from a circuit overseer somewhere that some people are murmuring about the new dress code.
So they made up this fake experience to counsel the followers.
usa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.
this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.
for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.
Trump has cried wolf too many times to be taken seriously anymore.
He has placed tariffs and backed them off at least three times in the same amount of months.
As much as y’all want factories to be repatriated to the US, no corporation with half a 🧠 is going to invest long term capital into ever changing uncertain economic rules.

Conservatives:
Capitalize the profits but socialize the losses
My observations are that people in general are entitled and greedy no what political Color they wear.
Socialist or capitalist they want to con other people into doing their work for them.
Jehovahs witness leadership are exactly the same. Convince others to do the heavy lifting while they sit by the lake
