  WT Ruining Members' Futures

  by HiddlesWife in

  2. beliefs

  what i mean by the title of this thread is what has happened to a relative of mine, one who is really upset about this factor:.

  this relative is a distant cousin on my mother's side of the family.

  she studied as a child and got baptized at 14 1/2 years old.

  Maybe it all depends on the area you live in whether or not the borg counselled you or the R&F looked upon you as to whether you had a full time job or not and received benefits from your employer or not.

  I`m from the east coast of Australia and never had such a problem and am now well and truly retired living in my own home which I own outright.

  Ironically now that I look back to the first cong I attended the presiding o/seer and his flesh bro,the assistant o/seer were Life insurance sales people. LOL

  And I still didn`t wke up till many years later

  Hopefully they will over extend themselves money-wise and then crash ,and burn.

  After all they are / were a religion that promoted the end of this system of things in the generation that saw 1914 , then 1975 ,then the end of the 20th Century ?

  And now ?.............?

  I also think it’s absurd to expect people to get all dressed up just to be in their own living room.

  So true ,and then to have busybodys critisize you for what they see you dressed like ? or what you have in your living room ?

  Unbeleivable !

  Anybody who put`s up with that needs their head examined .

  Give us the gist of what it`s all about Litf as nobody can see it unless they pay up ?

  And we may not think it worth it ?

  Struggling to find a purpose

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i spent most of my life in the org.

  we were taught that our purpose in life was to serve jehovah.

  that never really made sense to me, but it was still a purpose to keep going.

  I speak from experience.

  Christine McVie has passed

  by Las Malvinas son Argentinas in

  2. entertainment

  christine mcvie of one of my favourite bands of all time, fleetwood mac, has passed away.

  i don’t think she got as much credit as stevie nicks and lindsay buckingham as she should have, but she wrote her fair share of hit songs.

  such a beautiful and smooth voice to go along with stevie’s unique style.

  I`m with you Bro, I thought she also had a beautiful voice and added to the singing group .

  I loved some of her solos.

  Overall, Rumours was one of my all time favourite songs.

  Sad to hear of her passing
