Transparency in Field Service Hours

by Earnest in

i notice that in the recent instructions for new regular pioneers (2020-08-s-236-e) it lists a number of assignments for which a pioneer can be credited (up to 75) hours in a month.. these include:construction oversight, assembly hall oversight, assembly oversight, and convention oversight, as well as serving as temporary volunteers at bethel, commuter bethelites, remote volunteers, bethel consultants, hospital liaison committee members, patient visitation group members, disaster relief committee members, local design/construction department field representatives and maintenance trainers, and so forth.

approved assignments also include assisting with kingdom hall construction when such is done at the request of the branch office or its representatives overseeing the project, assisting with pre and post-assembly or convention work, assisting with work at assembly halls, conducting or participating in congregation meetings held in prison, as well as attendance at a theocratic school or class .

when i was pioneering and doing pre and post-assembly work i was told i could include the time spent working in my monthly report, which i did.

When serving as an elder and as a special pioneer or missionary you were no supposed to count hours spent on, for example branch construction work, special committees. When one didn’t achieve the 140 hours there was a part on the report where you could put comments as why you didn’t achieve the required hours (sick-days, so many SC hours, branch work etc).

Same thing for the Bethel commuters pioneers. Hours working at the branch were never counted as fs hours.

Elders could only count there public talks as fs.

Exactly as Magnum wrote. Hours on other assignments were never counted as fs hours.

Don't forget to take Sauerkraut for COVID-19 ?

by was a new boy in

fermented foods may lower your risk of covid-19 death.

countries that consume higher amounts of traditionally fermented foods have lower covid-19 mortality rates.

according to german researchers, significant changes in the microbiome caused by modern life and low fermented food consumption may have increased the spread or severity of the disease.

It’s just another cult. We met loads of these boys in our assignment in the Caribbean . Two years on their bike, back home. Financial compensation and heroes. 🤮

Miney under the table and retirement

i know several older retired witnesses who comolain abiut how little social security pays.

all of them made more than i ever did but were self employed.

Finkel, I think this has been discussed before, but I certainly wouldn’t change my life with any of them. Life is not just food, shelter and travelling. Freedom is what counts, in my opinion.

Anders Andersen,

Must have been the sweet “natural” juices they use to offer to visitors in the tropic. The dentist did a rather good job. I still have them, after 20 years.
