    How does affluency match with the wts teachings on modesty, more giving to the worldwide work etc.....is it just sort of looked past if the donations keep coming?? Is the standard different is it is a UBM making the dough even if the money is not coming in?

    Another question, how could a person be married to one in an 'unchristian' profession and take the 'blood money' to support the work?

    LOL! You're asking too many complicated questions. I think it's called cognitive dissonance. You're supposed to be humble and live simply in order to put kingdom interests first, but you're also supposed to admire the wealthy ones, (especially if they're elders and/or pioneers).

    There are very few jw wives who would allow her ubm to quit a job that brings in blood money. Why should they, since the umb is a sinner anyway.

    What would the elder view of such a situation be?? Would an elder push a ubm to quit a job?

    She is still studying, making pretty slow progress and she will say all the 'dubby' things at times, but I feel she is more looking for friendship than the dub doctrine.
