Nathan Natas , I would like to answer your questions but not yet ready to answer those yet. Only just started sharing for the first time in my life so give me time please. Not being rude.
Thanks for reading.
i was a thriving regular pioneer, doing all thr things wholeheartedly, had 16 bible studies, 7 attending meetings regularly, 11 magazine routes and 100's of rv's.
you can imagine i was always runnin out of literature and always a good list of books to order every month.
(not bragging,just stating facts.all this is wasted anyway).

Well,Thank you Nathan Natas for your kind words. There is a million stories inside my life story.
Not self bragging but yeah I worked very hard at being a good witness despite obstacles put in front of me by ones who may have had issues(I cant vouch for thier behavior) . I always beamed with joy when I would report a good placement and follow up on the literature offer of the month. All boxes always filled. I worked hard to do so and i am from humble background. So worked part time as well to support myself and lived frugally believing in giving my best to Jehovah alone but sadly not without tears.
So many have imitated my example that they are serving as regular pioneers now and they tell me so. Even bethel was so hearing reports baout me that they invited me to be a special pioneer and also to be onthe translation dept. But as I saiid earlier there is many a story inside all these events.All I can say now is I HAD NOTHING TO DO AND I DID IT WELL. LOL
Miles to talk about.
PS Sorry about the four at a time. being a newbie didnt know how it worked so clicked toomany times since it just kept saying uploading and nothing happening.

Thank you Kramer
This also led to me being invited to be a special pioneer and i have been to Bthel, also have worked in the foreign language field for years coz of knowing 13 different languages. But it was all futile. As Solomon said all is vanity.
First time sharing such matters with anyone and it does feel good to let it out.

I remember my orders were always pending for months on end,never reciving them.The literature servant was an elder and a regular pioneer who was not doing very well ministry wise at all despite the fact that he had so much support financially, and otherwise (it should have been a breeze for him as he had all the comforts and luxuries catered for with no expense spared. that is another subject in itself) Anyways we were spring cleaning the KH and i was in the store room cleaning away. I was moving some cardboard boxes when one s bottom gave away and books fell to the floor. Voila , all the literature that i had pending was in their(over 50 books no joke).It had been there for a while coz the box had water damage on it and that is why it gave way. There was a literature list with the date when it was shipped and that was shipped a year ago and just sitting there in the store room. I was shocked at the lies that I was being fed just coz my report perhaps looked so much better than his that the regular pioneer elder devised this plan to thwart it. Mind you i was not wasting Societys money coz all these books were spoken for. I would put in the money for it whenever I picked up any literature plus the receivers always gave generously towards the books which also went into the contribution box. I was not being wasteful. From then on I would just pick up literature by visiting other congregations and stopped ordering all together. This was the lords work supposedly and here i was being punished for doing it well.
I dont believe in confrontations,no point in muddying waters some more specially people with authority dont like to be challenged.He could make life more difficult for me. I just analyse and learn what one is made of and get on with life.
Should have woken up then.......

Stan Livedeath,
Not yet anyway. As far as i know many of them are renting halls and conference rooms.Although i have not visited each and every KH so cant vouch for all of them.
Perhaps WBTS will take all money to build a few there, at the same time ask the locals to contribute towards it , keep much of it and spend very little for show.Devious minds ,can cook up devious plans.

You reminded me of something. (talking about from a thrid world country where things were not so updated as today, some things were beyond reachable ). I was in my teens when a pioneer brother along with a missionary brother visited our congregaion. We beacame good friends with the pioneer brother. He obviously saw the need and my keen desire to study deeper in the bible and in those days the insight on the scriptures was something one could not get thier hands on, in our country. So without letting me know this kind brother after returning to his homw country posted both the insight volmes to me (which would have cost him an and a leg ). Never received it .Never would have known of this kind and generous gesture unless I had met this brother after 12 years when he came to revisit our cong. I was so enraged. The books were posted to This Big Gun Elder in the cong who quietly kept it for himself.Nver said a word. I was embarassed tthat the pioneer brother would have thought badly of me. Anyways this is how bad the BOE were in our yard.They wanted to keep all privileges in the family so even if there is any votes amongst the cong or BOE for anything,the BIG GUN could always have his way.
Truth came out but too late.

No I did not report to anyone .1.The elder in question was the son of an elder and THE BIG GUN in our BOE so he has always covered up for his son and made the victim the guilty on ewith dire consequences.
2.the whole cong and BOE were under his thumb out of fear for problems for themselves. He was very cunning , conniving,wicked man.
Believe me I have had to walk uphill many a times and then hit a wall. So saved myself the Whack and pain but sorted the problem out my way.
I DID IT MY WAY.
Thank for reading.
