  a friend just sent me this note, do you think it's him?.

  i dug this up while investigating.

  They Need 5X More Money Than Pioneers! (Dec 1 Wt)

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the dec. 1 watchtower is very remarkable - it is rare to read such a forthright article begging for money.. i don't recall any such appeal except when the society went into a panic over their 'voluntary donation arrangement'.

  some years ago.. the article contains about 10 paragraphs concerning the need for more money ( "tithing", "material goods").

  but only two about pioneering!

  That remind me of what my father used to say when brothers encouraged him to work less and do pioneering: "when everyone would be pioneer their would be no donations". After all he was right.

  i was thinking of our friends who were tortured and who died in the concentration-camps in germany and other countries during ww2..and that all in vane as i understand now.. i was thinking of the missionaries of age who are frustrated in their assignments, who see how their lives have gone with no reward and finally without a purpose.. i was thinking of bethelites of age, with no change to go back into real world.. i am glad i had the guts to leave missionary-work at the age of almost 40 and at least have the next 40 years a real life!.
