Are there any ex-missionaries here??

by fulano in

i have been a missionary in the dominican republic for almost 10 years and i was wondering if there were any ex-missionaries on this forum.. i am back in my country now for 3 years and totally inactive.. what i noticed in those missionary-years was the lack of spiritual interest among the missionaries.. discussions were about rooms, cars and greater responsibilities, the bad territory.

and the local c.o.s and d.os.. was this only in the dr or are there other experiences??.

ere other experiences?

@Kjell

To bad you had that experience in the DR. The couple from Canada must have been the thin blond guy with a nervous wife. Well they are very unhappy. Once he told me he wanted to go back but that he was to old (44) to find a job back home, how sad!! He was removed as an elder without any clear reason and both are ignored and humilated by the branch and CO and DO's. In fact we had 3 missionary-elders who were removed and that is really hard especially when you dedicated your life to Jehovah and give your life in the hands in what you call at that moment his organization. We lived a while with a couple who both drunk more wine and gin than water on expences of the society. Than suddenly he was appointed as a CO, guess why? he had told the branchcoordinator that he would leave missionary-service. They probably were afraid of their reputation towards Brooklyn beacuse so many had left already missionary-work in a period of 2 years. So just to calm them done they gave him what he wanted: more privileges.

Kaiser Stuhl:

Where did you serve??

I have a lot more stories about missionaries, I have been a "important" elder in that country, I even

participated on Judicial committee of CO's and other missionaries. Also served as the chairman

of many appeal-committees. On some of these I now feel ashamed.

@ Kaiser stuhl.

Thanks for your understanding. That was really the problem in the DR, there was no understanding of the needs of the

missionaries. Oh yes we had nice missionary-homes but the ambience in the home was rotten many times. Fights at the morning worships, my wife even got attacked by a missionary (yes they were send away, in fact now they live on Columbia heights).

And serving in terrotories were we went every three weeks through, I told them...I could have done that at home!!

And always additional works, guests who had to be treated as kings, especially when they were from Brooklyn.

Than my wife had an accident on her motorcicle, and got stressed because of the situation in the home. We were send to Brooklyn and Patterson for treatment.

The end of the story was that we had to go back to our home-country...guess who had tp pay the tickets??

Yes, me. Well I refused to do so, so finaly they told me they would borrow the money. Yeah right I never paid back.

Back "home", I mean what is home after 9 years, nobody was interested in if my wife could get further treatment, if we could get a house, job and so on.

We felt all alone, and made me quit.
