@Lovingkindness..
Were you addressing to me? If so, sorry I can't help you, I served in the 90es.
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?

the "beginning" at john 1:1 is not the beginning of the word, but it is reference to where the story starts in the book of john.
the word comes from the mind of god (the father) by the breath (the holy spirit).
god has a mind = the father .

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.
