since i am still "in" i "studied".
it takes all of 3 minutes to skim the article.
points;.
an outdated article, applicable to times when warm body presence was needed. and marriages of already committed pioneers, or folks with backup of well to do parents.
In today's labour, real estate market/ inflation, even one good earner can not provide solidly for the family or future, and wt has been proven to be very bad predictor of permanent relief. (ask your district overseers about the overlap)
this verse from the gospel of luke came to mind considering how many poor jws donate in the hope that they will get a new kingdom hall only to find out that their money have been stolen..
when they near death they realize that their hope of never dying has been stolen too, so, they , in desperation will will all their assets to the promiscuous promisor aka wt inc. to have an assured share in the resurrection.
assets, sometimes even diverted to the first tier of wt enforcers.
just curious but how do the people off this forum find reddit.
for myself i find reddit to be sadly lacking in the jw world.
i just don't find the depth there e.g one sentence replies, trying to be funny.
I did not tdidder on reddit (spelled backward, almost)
when we think of "anti " we think being " against".
but i read somewhere it actually means "in place of" or "substitute" and doesn't the organization think of itself as the only way of salvation, instead of jesus?
they have also said jehovah is the means of salvation!
wt teaches the exact opposite what Christ taught, example:
jesus said " about the new covenant symbol, blood/wine : drink all of you -- talking to a group of people with an earthly hope at the last supper. wt teaches do not touch. how more anti christ can you get?
Jesus said this generation will not pass away until all has happened
wt says this anointed generation will go to heaven before all these things even start.
Jesus said "it is not given to you to understand time and seasons,
wt tried ti pin it down to year and date . making a mockery of the "great time keeper" fueling anti christian feelings, destroying confidence.
Pushing the big J when the small J is called for in scripture.
birthday wisdom magnum opus.
i was born 2 years after the end of wwii.. everything was in black and white.. harry truman was president.. mahatma gandhi was the spiritual leader of india.. .
by the time i was 5, a new-fangled invention called television.
Terry, congrats, with your sense of humour, you will last, laughing. have 16 more years in the bank than you, but still like to die young, at the latest possible date. am encouraged by reading about all the 110, 111 year olds, still having twinkles in their eyes. not jws, obviously, ( they celebrate their birthday anniversaries), These are worth to be thankfully celebrated, wt policies notwithstanding.
.. so said one of the comments on the latest video from nate the lawyer:.

it is an interesting case of why "equal pay" isn't quite what you think it is.
men deserve more, because more than one pole is involved. They raise their own pole. it is polarizing.
women's soccer, slow, easy, gentle to watch for old fogeys with slow reaction time like me.
anyone who has been of this forum in the past few days has seen doubting thomas (an active jw) refuse over and over to provide even one scripture that can show how a jw can get their sins forgiven while outside of the new covenant as described in mt.
26: 27-28. yet, he claims to believe in the blood covering of jesus while at the same time personally rejecting the new covenant "for forgiveness of sins".
his contradictory claims are common among jw's.
Here are the wt errors:
They declare the new covenant to be only for the priest / kings, whereas the old covenant was for all of israel, not just the tribe of judah and levi. the new has to follow that pattern imho.
They declare the partakers to be the israel of god, whereas in many places the 12 tribes are all the believers, not just the sealed 144 000. wt itself says that the 12 tribes are the non 144000.
jesus passed the bread and wine to believers with an earthly hope, not anointed [yet].

caria, that is actually a telling picture of the situation. hardworking filipino /a families, with a strong bond we could all learn from, but hampered/ hammered by
1) earthquakes, taifunes, --in this cases snowstorms, and
2) politicians, man in power, from the warden up, with a bizarre entrenched moral code.OK Mayor Homer
