That's how it is Dagney, and not the relaxed-all-cared-for life-style Sir82 wants to describe.
@Sir82 If you know several, ask again, this is not true, unless local congregations take care of what you describe.
how much do they get for their 120 hours of door banging?

@sir82
Could you tell me where you got this information about:
1. Free medical coverage.
2. Getting gasoline paid.
3. Free housing.
4. Wealthier assignment.
Have you been a sp?
Well I have been and nothing of this is right. Please be more carefull in your posts.

We had in Europe in 1987-1990, around 250 US each, 500 a couple and a monthly saving for holidays etc. 45 US each.
I had to work on fridays and saturday mornings to have Some extra's and free health insurance. An old Honda, mostly we ride our bicicles to preach in the Spanish field.
in his first talk of the week the co mentioned that people don't get df'd for joining the military or registering to vote because they are already gone, as compared with smoking secretly, which would merit df'ing.. i have been toying around with registering to vote in the next election (us) so this intrigues me..
""Hey Blondie, what about smoking after a "sexual sin"?""
After clean sexual sin.....No problem.i have come to a startling and sad realisation!.
i have no real friends!.
i have always been extremely active in every aspect of the org, since childhood.
I have had the same feeling and more when I left my first wife. My uncles and aunts changed their attitude, nephews, all jw's. Then when I moved together with my second wordly wife, they all turned their back to me. I once went back to my latest congregation in my latest missionary assignment. The worst experience I had in my life. My ex had told everyone what I had done, so my old friends in the congregation didn't even talk to me. I was so disappointed at that moment, some of theme relied on me and I did on them. Now I have some new friends, my brother who left the org as well, and two old friends, jw's more or less, more less, they smoke a cigar with me and sometimes some hasjies. I have a beautifull wife, a beautifull daughter ( adopted). And a lot of friends in her family which we visit every summer in the country where I once served.
to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territory re: survey on use of printed publications .
dear brothers: .
the branch office is working on arrangements for the 2015 regional conventions.
email sent to me from a friend in new york city..
brooklyn update january 10, 2015.
we have spent the last few weeks in training at the montgomery facility (near walkill) there are 6 couples that were trained to go on the road as ldc field representatives of the branch.
brothers would full on laugh at the c.o's lame jokes.
fight over who gets him for dinner where no expense would be speared..."oh they dont eat flour, sugars or milk products...".
We in the netherlands had the greatest bold and fat annointed AH CO I ever met, Herman Steenkamp.
He got df because of being gay, had sex with a unbaptized publisher. Now after years reinstated. My question to my jw parents was...did you have 143.999 heavenly bastards those years, because we were always told that earthly hope was not a second class department. So the bender must be back in heavenly business now. Or do they have 144.001 now? No answer on that up to now.
born in 1950, he apparently became a regular pioneer in 1971.. but wait.... let's just say that he enlisted (or was drafted) in 1968 at age 18.... depending on the branch of service, he would have to complete anywhere from 2 to 4 years of service.
yes, duty in hot combat zones was usually limited to 6-months at a time but you still had to serve a total of 2 to 4 years depending on the branch of service.
assuming he only served 2 years, he would have been 20 years old and discharged by 1970.... how did he get witnessed to, complete a book study, become an unbaptized publisher, get baptized and then become a regular pioneer in less than year???.
He should be ashame of his life instead of using his vietnam career to obtain importance.
i can't seem to find any quotes on this.
does anybody have any?.

When you write your letter to the congregation that you no longer want to be known as a JW, they have to make that announcement. From that moment on you are in the same position as a df person.
I havent done that, but I am thinking about doing it.
