    Another one is: "Have you had any homosexual relationship? If yes, explain."

    if you answer no you limit your chances of being invited gilead application has a question that asks if you are married does your spouse agree with your decision. i think there must surely have been some applicants who were happy for their spouse to go with no intention of going themselves lol

    That is a riot! They told me 30+ years ago when I got an application for the Bethel construction crew in NYC, that Jehovah knows all and sees all, and nobody would get accepted who had any secret sins. Well, that let me out so I tore the application up.

    A few questions:

    1. Why do they have to ask an applicant about these things, shouldn't they already "know"? (divine direction/appointment and service records)

    2. Do they also have a signatory page where you give them power of attorney or the right to share your confidential information? Is it not discriminatory if you do not know who can access your personal information?

    3. Asking about physical health issues is basic risk management. Asking about one's personal relationship or standing with god is not, or is it?

    3a. Is an admitted molestor a risk for bethel?

    3b. Is a rap music listener a risk for bethel? Is it the music or is it the lyrics? What if you don't "listen" but only watch rap music videos. ;-)

    3c. Does someone with mental health "issues" pose a risk?

    4. Why not ask someone: if they had access and opportunity - would they listen to rap, watch porn, or molest? Why is it only based on whether they have already done it?

    Cheers
