Personally I am not very fond of ridiculing a person this way. I think most people who know Losch will remember him as a kind and reasonable person, the european "touch" to the Bethel pandemonium, likes his schnapps and jokes. Had nothing to do with Ray, who wasn't that mister right and kind at all.

Are there any ex-missionaries here??
by fulano ini 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?

Well ignorance..etc,
I found it not that hard at all to tell you the truth. It was great to not depend on nobody for life, like housing, where to live, etc.
I divorced in 2004, met a nice younger wife and raised together with her here lovely young daughter since 2009, have two companies and a nice life.
The feelings that remain are nostalgic, I read COC the other day and thought about the persons he mentioned, John Barr, such a nice person, Sam Friend, the ex postman, who wrote articles in the Awake, remember the weekends I stayed at his home.
So many people! Where are they? Why did they not "help" you, I know....the hours wouldn't have count.
By the way, missionaries are not that special or interesting at all, most had no education of very little, not that much understanding of the bible ( same as a lot of bethelites) and more interested in there position, square meters room or there annual ticket home.
Of course there were exeptions, like Edith Ester White, from Canada, I lived with here, a real missionary, not kind, nor very friendly but devoted.

They Need 5X More Money Than Pioneers! (Dec 1 Wt)
by metatron inthe 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.
