Thanks, Pirata you were on top with your responses awesome good job.
Is because I know things a little different and I just wanted to have them clarified by an expert, so this is what I know:
1. The COs gets an stipend from the WTS every month and is just to cover basic needs. Also, he gets individual gifts from brothers who have means for it and that can go without limits since he is seen as a channel from the FDS to our local body of elders. In addition, all his expenses should be covered by the circuit he is working on and the elders are responsible for such task to be aranged in a good manner.
2. The blue envelope I heard it was given to them every time they had a district convention so at the end they were given the envelope with money plus they went to eat with the rest of the elders. Everything was paid hotel, food, gas etc... Is an obligatory arrangement to carry out. But I'm not totally aware of this blue envelope that's why I need more info.
3. Yeah they live in apartments built at kingdom halls, they can also stay with their family when they visit the area. Most of them stay at brothers' and sisters' houses where room is available. is very common for them to stay at hotels paid by the congregation or a wealthy brother. That is understood however when they have their own place an apartment and throughout the year local congregations are assigned to pay his rent and bills so that is too much in my opinion.
4. The WTS buys their cars and also those cars have to be replace for a new model every now and then. license plates are paid by the circuit in which he serves. He can also be given a car as a gift.
I see the difference between classes at the hall and I don't like seeing things that they don't look right COs build a carreer out of the word of God but what bothers me is that some of them come and criticize us like if they are God himself. Thanks you all for all your responses I just needed more light thank you. Robson
