1. careers: Have a close look, how god will see your career and if you are the "best" in your job:
(Proverbs 22:29) 29 Have you beheld a man skillful in his work? Before kings is where he will station himself; he will not station himself before commonplace men.
2. birthdays: celebrating birthdays will NOT end in DF. Reading the "elders book" about this was helping me to get free.
3. end is near: reading the Awake from 1968 telling young people, that they will not get old in this system and should have no career in this world helped me a lot to see behind this "the end is near". The end is near since brother Russel started writing.
Jesus showed his followers to have a money box for the poor people. Ask yourself: Are JWs following this pattern?
