    The report said they have NO retirement plan.

    Either you stay at Bethel until death or they send you to a congregation as a Special Pioneer.

    There was a court case that resulted in the agreement that the WTS pays the retirement insurance when someone leaves Special Service. Then they pay the insurance for the time he was in Special Service. That is the lowest possible contribution but it is the one also churches pay for their nuns and monks when they leave. (There was a court case as well.)

    But they have to apply for it. There have been cases when the WTS said: "That does not fit your case." but after the former Fulltime Servant pointed to the court agreement the WTS paid.
