  Are there any ex-missionaries here??

  by fulano in

  2. experiences

  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?

  i don't know when you wrote this but No I don't know them. Maybe they were Needgreaters at some time we had a thousand of them. Strange enough ;) all in the beach congregations.

  Watchtower/Bethelite Volunteers and US Self Employment or FICA Tax?

  by EnlightenedEphesian in

  with so many aging bethelites being "laid off" after years of volunteer service, what hope do they have of collecting any social security retirement?

  i ask because i recently learned that my mother will not receive any government retirement benefits because she did not work enough to collect the 40 credits required.

  this got me to thinking about bethel volunteers.
