Less We Forget-Unplanned Retirement.

by Blueblades in

.

of the many abuses that the society is responsible for is the unplanned retirement of so many who have given their youth and strength and have sacrificed their whole lives, even selling their homes and businesses,not going to college etc.

on the words coming out of the so-called slaves' mouth that we trusted in about an "end" that never materialized.. many are now turning more attention to their personal finances as many more face an unplanned retirement.many are hopelessly in debt and burdened with mental / emotional problems from years of pioneering and slaving until they can give no more.disappointed from an "end" that never materialized.. the wt.study for today,march 9,2003 continues this abuse when it tells the rank and file not to plan for your future retirement, just continue to come to the meetings,continue to study wt.aids,continue to put the preaching work first,forget about wasting time in the pursuit of your own personal needs, just pray, just pray.. i am one of many who has become a victim of this kind of abuse.so, for those of you who are young and still have years ahead of you,avoid having to wake up to the realization of an unplanned retirement.by all means plan for your future,do not let this abuse of enslavement of your youth ensnare you as the wt.study for today is continuing to try to do to the unwary.. how many on this forum can testfy to the years of service they gave to the society and now have to try and recover from an unplanned retirement as i am doing now.. blueblades, 60 yrs old and making up for lost time (32 yrs.awt.slave ) and involved in a new career in the health field and not planning to retire for a long time yet.

by JH in

how do you feel, now that you are out of the jw's?.

does the watchtower society want to make it feel worse than it actually is?

would you say that the scare of being df'd was worse than the real thing?.

IS JEHOVAH GOD AN AN ALIEN ?????? CRAZY 5 MINUTES

by nightwarrior in

1) jehovah is a spirit creature , you agree with this ,ok.. now let us move on , also we have been shown throughout the scriptures that jehovah god is seen as a bright light,no man has ever seen him they have only been able to see or feel his radiance,men have felt his glory,men have felt his presence,even mosess wasnot able to withstand the eminence radiating from god,.

when we look to the collection of various animals on the earth, take africa for instance,hundreds of different species,roaming around the planet earth all in specific herds ,lions monkeys, birds,zebra etc etc is this seen as a zooalogical collection placed on the planet by a supreme being.. .

look to the larger picture, what are your thoughts are humans also a part of this great collection,if man is a part of this collection ,what planet was he abducted from ,and whom done the abduction????????????????.

Ali vs Liston - Not Armageddon

by metatron in

current events are much like a famous boxing match ---- not armageddon.. ali vs liston - ali won by acting crazy and dangerous - which unnerved his opponent.. so, on the road to world peace some nations have to be pushed in the right direction.. europe can tell the arabs ( and others):.

"look we tried to stop them!

they gave the finger to the un and finished off iraq in a couple weeks!.
