This is a situation re. a sister who is trying to leave an abusive relationship of 8 years. This sister accepted assistance from a worldly friend who has provided a home, and paid off her credit cards that her abusive husband racked-up. She is being harrassed for dating an unbeliever, and not being free to remarry. This friend is just a landlord over the property that she is renting. It is all so sickening

Get 'deleted' or resign as a ministerial servant?
by trevorbv ini'm a ministerial servant for some years now, but reached to the conclusion that i must get out of jws as soon as possible.
i can no longer waste my time in field service, at the kh or doing menial jobs for the congregation.
for some months now my field report is with one digit at the hours section and with empty spaces in magazines, brochures and the others.

Not sure of all your circumstances. Sometimes moving out of your cong's territory, may work out. When you move the cong elders have to decide if you will receive a letter of recommendation.
When they approach you on the matter, let them know that you have too much to manage at the moment, and would appreciate a break from extra responsibilities.
All the best.

4/15/11 Watchtower--quote on ministerial servants
by sd-7 inso did anyone notice the statement on page 11, paragraph 11?
"if a brother has been baptized at least one year and to a reasonable degree meets the scriptural qualifications fo rministerial servants outlined at 1 timothy 3:8-13, he can be recommended for appointment.
" i thought paul specifically warned against appointing a "newly converted man"?

I was appointed an MS when I was 20 yrs old. That was in the 70's. But, really the qualifications, and the one year is requirement is not the ultimate qualification.
The hidden qualification is the exceeding 10 hrs per month service time. That's the true measuring stick.

Ireland Asks for Massive Bailout
by leavingwt inireland swallows bitter pill, asks eu for loan .
debt-crippled ireland formally applied sunday for a massive eu-imf loan to stem the flight of capital from its banks, joining greece in a step unthinkable only a few years ago when ireland was a booming celtic tiger and the economic envy of europe.. european union finance ministers quickly agreed in principle to the bailout, saying it "is warranted to safeguard financial stability in the eu and euro area.
" but all sides said further weeks of negotiations loomed to define the fund's terms, conditions and precise size.. ireland's crisis, set off by its foundering banks, drove up borrowing costs not only for ireland but for other weak links in the eurozone such as spain and portugal.
