Yes, Minimus I am a MS. When the overseer comes over for a week the whole congregation makes face (MS and Elders are to be in service all week! I on the other hand am Unemployed and will not play their game!). Saturday and Sunday service is FULL.
On the bright side I have saved some money and am looking into buying a franchise! Will the elders and elderettes tell me/wife about the "materialistic traps of this world?". When my MS friend bought a business, was at dire straights for 5 years, but on his 6th started making real money he bought his first house on a nice neighborhood. when he invited an elder over to eat, the elder sarcastically said "you have the american flag missing"! what a bastard!
I could care less, everything they say is false, my wife still believes in them 'cause of the family but saves good for retirement's sake!
