A couple I know are special pioneers/missionaries and bethel does NOT allow them to work on the side at all. However they work secretly for their witness relatives on their vacation so they can survive. I used to give this couple money when they came home cause i felt sorry for them. they are nice people but are just stuck in a rut.

Missionaries in Tiawan asked to give salaries back to bethel...one resigned!!
by Witness 007 ina friend from australia's first "ministerial training school" was excited to go to asia as a missionary....only to return in disgrace!!!
the government lets them stay if they become "english teachers" and except a part-time job for a salary {which is generous}.
bethel told him that the money he earns on the side while a missionary belongs to them!!

Health - has anyone else suffered long lasting health effects from years with the Borg?
by Chariklo indoes anyone else feel or know that jehovah's witnesses damaged their health?.
i know many have emerged with depression, and i'm very relieved that i am not one of them.. but, being the age i am, (a large tribe of grandchildren) i was nonetheless pressured to go out door to door in steep countryside often in bad weather, and because i was doing my best to keep up that ended in an injury which has proved to be long lasting.. and that's not counting the stress-induced consequences...i won't cite them all here, but physical.
a few days in hospital and a summer spent on compulsory almost complete rest can all be laid at the watchtower's door.the trauma of actually extricating oneself from the borg is not stopped when one has finally written that letter that disassociates oneself from them.

Letter about using iPads at meetings
by under the radar infirst of all, i really appreciate it when official, especially "secret," boe letters and the like are posted here.
it's great to have that stuff on hand, straight from the horse's... uhh...mouth, when certain "friends" deny the slave would ever do or say such and such.... anyway, there have been some references to a letter they sent out about using ipads and the like during congregation meetings.
could anyone provide a scan or link to this letter?

paragraph 12:
For example,
after repeated casual conversations
with a male coworker, a Christian
sister might make him her confidant,
even telling him about her marital problems.
Goes back to the jw treadmill and how it doesn't allow the time or resources for solid, strong marriages. The working woman sees something in her co worker that she isnt' getting at home. Someone who cares!

Elders, Ministerial Servants & Pioneers That Should Not Have Been Appointed or Should Not Have Remained In Their Positions
by minimus inwere there a lot of elders, ms's and pioneers that should not have had those titles?.

We had an elder who had a family, was the service overseer, seemed to have more than enough money to rarely work but enough to live and pioneer from time to time.
He was a travelling salesman but never really seemed to be away from home. Turns out one of his business calls in another area was a witness too
and the owner of the company said that ____ _____ has been in your area lately a lot why haven't you bought anything lately. Is there a problem?
Service Overseer Elder hadn't been out that way for years. Just was submitting fake invoices for milage. He got fired and reported to the CO but
nothing was ever done about it and the brother still serves as an Elder in good standing.
