  Special Pioneers in 'Third World' Countries

  by A question in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have heard that the allowance for special pioneers in poor, third world countries is enough that they actually have a standard of living or income higher than many in the general population around them.

  (not that they need to be as poor as everyone else though, that would not help them get those hours in either.).

  has anyone else heard of or seen this?

  CO over for dinner Tuesday thru Friday

  by A question in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone had a co over for dinner during their visit on any of the nights from tuesday thru friday?

  that seems hard to do because those nights usually have meetings.

  if you did do it, how long were they able to stay after finishing eating?.

  Inviting CO over and they refuse

  by A question in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has this happened to anyone else?

  you invite the co for dinner (or some other thing) and they say they cannot.

  i can understand why, i suppose, since depending on how popular they are, maybe they have to turn down some invites to have personal time, but still wondering how common that is..

  by A question in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everyone knows that people sign up to have the co over for lunch wed. through fri. but in your area, did they (even privately, outside of a sign up sheet) also invite him over sometimes for dinner as well, at all?

  is this something that varies by co?.
