  Trying to get people to "support" pioneers!

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this was one topic that used to make me furious!

  here the bible makes it perfectly clear that back then they supported their own ministry by working.

  there is also the scripture about "counting the cost" implying that one should not undertake any project without making an assessment as to whether or not they could do it.

  Fine clothing. Vacations, all expenses paid. THE BEST!!!

  Do you think they report all these EARNINGS to the IRS???!!! Nope!!!

  Who ever says that the WBTS does not have a paid clergy class is flat out lying!!!

  The JW's paid clergy class are:

  1)- Pioneers (Special)

  2)- Missionaries

  3)-Circuit Overseers

  4)-District Overseers

  5)-Bethelites (All working in branches throughout the world)

  6)-Worldwide construction work personnel.

  I think I've covered them all.

  Every time these people visited the congregations I've attended I'd have an argument with my husband. These individuals get all their expenses (food, clothing, lodging, health insurance, cars, gas, other fees, etc.) paid by the congregations or by the WBTS directly, plus all brothers and sisters offer their services to them for nothing; on top of that there's always some money collection for them because "they are in the service of Jehovah full time".

  Burns me up inside oh so badly!!!

  It's all over the news here in the USA.

  Such a tragedy! I'm so sorry this is happening. And to think these people supposedly have a religious faith. It's just awful.

  if a dub needed your help as in a medical emergency or in getting employment/job contract or in getting your support in a dispute with someone on a non religious issue or in some other way such as in a car break down would you help them?
