    With the closing of the Branch Office in India, many Bethel brothers have been set loose into the world with no resources. Mother does not provide for her own, it would seem.

    Below is a copy of letter I received today:

    Hello brothers and sisters,

    Good wishes to all of you. This seems to be a great way to be in touch with the worlds best community. I'm a brother from India. Well this mail is to bring to your attention that there has come a very big change in our work in India. Indian government has banned all international funds coming to the society from our brothers around the world. Therefore society no more would pay allowance to the brothers and sisters serving as full time ministers in this country.Moreover many brothers from the bethel are also being sent home.I'm into full time ministry for the last 25 years and never learnt anything other than preaching the goodnews. Now,after losing this special privilege its becoming very very difficult to manage our lives.

    So brothers and sisters if at all you would like to help us emotionally and materially we would be extremely grateful. Please mail me at the following ad: [email protected].
    At this time of perseverance we would require your kind moral support.
    Please write to me.

    Your loving brother,

    Caution!

    This is suspiciously similar to a posting on witnet a year or so ago. In that posting, the person from India had a sad tale of needing monetary help to get to an assembly.

    His story just did not add up.

    One thing anyone "layed off" from any society position will not be w/o is a work ethic.

    Warning bells have been going off for me as well as I read these accounts about India.

    Somehow I don't think the BRanch there ever had 200 people considering the low number of publishers in India.

    I would be happy to apologize if shown incorrect but am wary of such sad stories on the net.

    Kismet
