    This is typical of the WT technique!

    Now they are "demonising" any who 'work away from home', and making the masses think that they must "obviously now be sinful" as they are doing what the WT said!

    It is sickening propaganda designed to make every witness suspicious and judgemental of one another!

    This study was called: “No one can slave for two masters . . .
    You cannot slave for God and for Riches.”—MATT. 6:24.

    In brackets beside Riches could also be Satan. Some of the answers at our hall just so far fetched, it got to a point that I was thinking that having any job was the same as slaving for riches. One answer I heard was that it is Satan that makes people plan financially for the future, no you should not plan for your retirement, and that you should only plan for today.

    I also don't think the the above scripture has anything to do with the contents of the study. Its almost as if they wrote the study and then had to decide what scripture to use. Since when has going away from your family for work been called "Slaving for riches"? I can think of a number of both witness' and non witness' that go away for work, (including myself) and would never conclude that we are doing this because we are letting riches be our master.

    Since when did they start to care about incest? Without two witnesses, incest doesn't happen in their rule book. Does homosexuality really happen in the Borg without two witnesses???

    No evidence found so far of homosexuality when working abroad, but there is some evidence of incest, unfortunately..
    "Rhodora Abano, advocacy officer of the Center for Migrant Advocacy explained "that an undetermined number of families are breaking up due to spouses taking on another partner while the husband or wife is away. Likewise, most children of OFWs have become 'materialistic,' asking for more money to compensate for the emotional absence of one or both parents. Some of the OFW children have also dropped out of school...or resorted to early marriages because of teenage promiscuity, or bore children out of wedlock. Worst problem for OFW children is when they fall into drug addiction, gambling or other vices" (ibid.).
    Incest has become common
    On March 11, 2007 Veronica Uy of INQUIRER.netreported: "As more Filipino mothers leave for work abroad, incest between a daughter and the father who are left behind has become an emerging social problem."In connection with the International Women's Day, Philippine Senator Pia Cayetano called public attention to "an emerging problem in labor-exporting countries like the Philippines." The senator noted that "older daughters of women OFWs are made to take on the roles left by their mother, sometimes as 'substitute spouses'" (ibid.)."

    Yes, 2 eyewitnesses to homosexuality is not required per the elders manual

    11. Evidence (testified to by at least two witnesses)
    that the accused stayed all night in the
    same house with a person of the opposite sex
    (or in the same house with a known homosexual)
    under improper circumstances.- If questions
    are raised regarding Scriptural freedom to remarry,
    see 12:12.
