last year saw the elimination of the district overseer...and circuit overseers now must retire at 70. how long until the circuit overseer is no more?
of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid.
they would have to care for their own expenses.
SP's get a monthly allowance depending on their location and if they are married.
I read recently that in USA it's $900pm for a couple, and in the UK I have a very hazy recollection it's £300pw for a couple, although don't quote me on it because it's probably wrong.
They have to find their rent, bills and food etc. out of that.
Once you move from SP to Reg Pio you lose all of that because you are no longer classed as 'representing the organisation'.
hello (not a new user - had to reregister with the site revamp).
i look for every way to make my 5 minute talks devoid of wt flavor.
i try to be positive -talk about god's love for humanity.
In one of my talks I expounded on the need for a good education.
The WT overseer came up afterwards and said how much he enjoyed the talk.
i know in america, corporations, and businesses, are many times obligated to atleast continue certain medical benefits for an extended period of time, like a year or two, even after they are "let go".
i wonder how many older, special pioneers, missionarys, bethelites, and such, have pre-existing medical conditions, and need to have to continue their benefits for care?.
the wts, can send a letter saying " sorry your shits gone in 3 months", but is this really legal?
I thought there was a legal case in Spain when the bethel was shut (not too long after being built) and all the bethelites were turfed out?
I seem to recall there's a law there that obligated the WT to pay a 'pension' to them.

punk What do they get from 'Mother'?
Good question. Apart from the car and an iPad, I wonder if their stipend is the same as Special Pioneers.
bethelites news news betheliteson friday 50 brothers and sisters at bethel bethelites argentina, took their last breakfast together before heading out to their congregations.the bethel own patterson, new york, an undetermined number of bethelites that they were notified had a week to leave bethel and become regulate pioneers in their congregations.a couple of brothers they sold us everything told they had to go to work where there was more need.
a couple of months left to work on construction projects of kingdom halls in needy countries ago.
they have been told it is over.that's how fast things are changing toward the end.we are on the verge of incredible things, so any change is not surprising.is our lord faithful and discreet slave receiving instructions regarding the next future?
By quoting that verse from Acts, they are essentially saying these decisions are from the Holy Spirit.
That's a pretty dangerous claim, blasphemy and unforgivable if not true.
it's become obvious in the last few days that the borg is done, done giving one dime over to the membership of the organization.
they know or have been told that it's a waste of time to spend money trying to recruit new members so their cutting all out lays of money in this regard to the bone.
they will continue to spend money where they can make a prophet, keeping the ones in, not thinking and donating.
churches and religious organisations would lose millions of dollars in tax breaks, concessions and hand outs under a radical plan to force priests, rabbis and imams to sign up to a national faith register.
under the bold proposal clergy would for the first time be forced to undergo government-specified training and security checks and would be monitored by a national body, or risk losing government funding..
former premier ted baillieu has backed the plan that has been put to federal and state leaders including the prime ministers office, and premier daniel andrews..
so the wtbts ( the gb and the branch, aka lawyers and puppet masters ) have decided to end "special pioneering" for some, if not all of the order.
there is no way to accurately predict the fall-out, but it's potentially huge!
jws, for the most part, are under educated, sheltered, unprepared, frightened humans.
It will be revealing to hear the WT spin for laying off SP's.
They can hardly use the same excuse as the one for booting bethelites out - "we need more in the field", because removing Special Pioneers means there are fewer in the field.
Retiring the SP's makes a lie of the reason given about the bethelites.

definitely something going in the london bethel.. i thought i'd ask them again (and record it again) what the situation was regarding the new britain branch construction work.. i got the same sister (debbie) and here is how the conversation went: .
me: i've been told that construction of the new branch has been stopped - is this true?.
debbie: no, it has not ceased, it's carrying on as normal - can i ask where you're calling from?.
Just heard that a sister applied to work at Chelmsford, got accepted, so quit her job to go and work there.
She's just been sent home after being told they took too many volunteers on too early.
