former governing body assistant howie tran has shared his bethel vow of poverty contract.
it reads rather culty.
i think clause number 9 is particularly worrying...to adhere to, not the bible alone, but also the watchtower literature and the governing body.
Ok fair, neither of you said that. But inevitably, in reference to Goodwin’s law, discussions with ex-jws comes down to being ultimately “forced” and “brainwashed” into “volunteering” (which are contradictions) to serve as an elder or going to bethel.
So forgive me for attempting to cut that nonsense off before it begins.

Advice: don’t go to bethel. Your mistake.
Humor me: tell me how you were mysteriously “forced” to read, agree to, and sign up to attend Bethel.

Volunteering is surely a two way street.

I am saying that you did not have to go rent an apartment and buy you own groceries while you were there.
At any rate, serving at any capacity as a jw is 100 percent voluntary.

Indeed. I truthfully never had a desire to live at bethel. Never.

I wouldn’t want to live at Bethel, having to quit my job, and leave home, if I did not have anything in writing from watchtower.
No contract = no evidence of their obligations to you.

Lol
We live in a world where contracts are a necessity. It would be foolish and irresponsible for any organization not to have them when people live on the property of said organization.

PE,
Basically what I am saying is that putting stuff in writing projects them from frivolous lawsuits. It also prevents WT from reneging on their obligations if the applicant is not in breach.
This is just basic stuff.

Ok jws have been around for 90 something years. Experience has taught them that putting stuff in writing protects against people who lie and make stuff up.

People will not agree with my above post, but jws have been around for 140 years. Experience tells them (and also tells society as a whole) that without having stuff in writing, people can lie and make stuff up, and as long as it sounds plausible, it will be believed when there are no records or signatures to disprove it.
Every organization is obligated to protect itself. WT is no different in that regard.
