just ron has received a couple of phone calls in the last few days from the RBC brother wanting him to come roof a kingdom hall. now, just ron hasn't been to a meeting since december 2011, and certainly hasn't got a current volunteer form on file. so i ask, are they desperate or just stupid?
desperate or stupid - you decide

Cheap Free labor and it doesn't matter where it comes from.

He should tell them he's no longer spiritually strong enough to qualify for that assignment.

JWs can be amazingly stingy, vindicative, and even cruel, if you are considered "spiritually weak"....until they need your free labor for some project, anyway.
Then, suddenly - presto - change-o! -- you are "qualified" to be given the "privilege" of "volunteering".
If you are "reproved" for some "serious sin", the list of restrictions can get pretty long - no commenting, no public prayers, no ministry xchool, no service meeting demos, no auxiliary pioneering, etc.
But, curiously , no one is ever restricted from the "privileges" of cleaning the bathrooms or cutting the grass.

they want to suck you back in!
it is called escalation of committment
they will treat you very good at the hall build. treat you like one of the guys.
next they will invite you to a sunday meeting, it will be hard to say no to a bunch of nice people like them
in for a penny, in for a pound
