“14 Special pioneers are usually selected from among regular pioneers who have demonstrated their effectiveness in the ministry. They must be able to serve wherever the branch office chooses to assign them. Often, this is an isolated area where they can find interest and form new congregations. At times, special pioneers are assigned to congregations that need help in covering their territory. Some special pioneers who are also elders have been assigned to help small congregations, even when there is no particular need for more workers in the field. Special pioneers receive a modest allowance for living expenses. Some special pioneers are appointed on a temporary basis.

37Reddit post about elder asking congregation for money to fix his car!
by LongHairGal inyes, there’s a post on reddit.
it says that after a zoom meeting a request was made to baptized publishers to give $20 apiece to fix this elder’s car.. while this sounds highly irregular to me and not necessarily approved by the religion, i am not at all surprised at the nerve.
this, unfortunately, seems to be the direction that things are going there!

Ex Bethelite.
Since when get SP’s their rent, car and bills (what kind of bills) paid?
I have been a SP before being a missionary and all we received was an allowance and we had to pay everything with that money. “Living the good life”? Are you joking? I had two work a day a week just to not starve.
Reading your posts I sometimes wonder ….

I think when you are brought up the old fashioned cruel way as a jw child, spent many years of your life in fulltime service (me untill 40), you’re life is ruined anyway.
I am 63 now and there are still moments my “worldly” wife to whom I am married now for 17 years doesn’t understand my “natural” restrictions, inhibitions. In other words, you’re fucked up, knowing or not knowing. Live your life and say welcome to the day you’re out of this.

They have learned a lot since the Raymond Franz case. One is to never disfellowship a brother or sister in “a position”. I have written my experience of a judicial committee were we had to handle the case of a fellow missionary who had done something outrageous. Every one of us three were told beforehand NOT TO DF her. Because of the good name JW had in that city.
So Tony could have been drunk, have committed whatever but we will probably never know. What mentioned before, no old or ill person in that positition would have been forced to leave Bethel.

I have received messages, but when someone just writes “why did you leave”, or “in which country did you serve”, without any kind word of introduction, I just ignore. You should do the same, I think.

How come the old boys on the GB don't get kicked out at 70?
by eyeslice init would appear that circuit overseers (no dos these days i guess) are taken off at 70 years old.
even older ones in bethels are disposed (sorry 're-assigned to the field) of before they get too past it.. how come though the old boys on the gb aren't shown the door at 70 and replaced by younger men - obviously of the recently anointed type?
they don't look a particularly fit bunch so they can't claim special mightiness because of doing 'the lord's work'.

Because they are above all rules. Even their laundry is washed separately by special assigned brothers. And a lot of times get their lunch at their rooms served.

question for those who had been elders on judicial committee
by enoughisenough ini was wondering if some who may have been in the judgement seat ( so to speak ) had a wake-up call while judging someone who was defending leaving jw.
( or maybe it was from reading a letter of disassociation.
) .

@BluesBrother. That was also the case in my missionary assignment. A lot of knew baptized with still old habits, porneia all over the place. The weirdest case was a french sister, that lived with her mother as foreigners, she involved in witchcraft (voodoo). We had to df her as she was promising to stop the practice, but continued. Than the case of a missionary sister who wanted to get out of her assignment, which her husband didnt want. She just offered sex to the first wordly man she encountered. We (a CO, a local elder and me) were told by the branch that under no circumstances she should be df, because of the good name in that town. Of course they had to pack their bags and were sent back to California.
