Template to dump Special Pioneers (page 4)

Absalom

In Us the monthly stipend is around $900 per couple. Plus they are on the borg's health insurance. Healthcare cost is real reason for the downsize, it will mostly be couples in their 50's and older who will be released from bethels and SP. A couple who graduated two years ago from Couples school has already been released from program due to their age. The brother was pissed!!! He told me they know how old he was when they accepted him.

NO love amongst themselves, they only want the money!

If there isn't something mega causing all of this, I'll eat haggis again!! I still give it 6-8 months until things become known.

Does this apply to missionaries? Are missionaries also considered special pioneers? If the Watchtower sent you to a special assignment do they have any responsibility to bring you home?

Only witness could say doing something that effectively reduces the actual hours in the ministry is for "increase" reasons. HELLO. its less hours

Thank you Absalom.

The Searcher - hope you like haggis, lol. 6-8 months seems like a reasonable timeframe though.

Also, this letter looks like another example of the walls crumbling down. There must be something very big going on. And, having these letters leaked like this could only happen with very disgruntled people in positions of power.

Note that this likely includes some Gilead Graduates.
Gilead Grads can be assigned as Special Pioneers, Circuit Overseers or they can be assigned to work at a Branch.

This also likely includes many of the last round of Bethel layoffs about 9 years ago, as many of them were allowed to become Special Pioneers instead. I was in a congregation that had one of them.

Don't they all get a One-way ticket?

Is that Vow of obedience real? I don't know how it gets more culty (probably not a word) then that! I picture the victims of Waco or members of scientology reciting something like that.
