They ie paul n such ones had part time jobs to fulfil their needs!
Zing
every single member of the worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovah’s witnesses (yb16 p. 176 2015 grand totals) – which includes all of the governing body, all bethelites, every jw missionary, every circuit overseer, and all special pioneers – are worse than people without* faith!
because they have all signed a vow of poverty which renders them as parasites, living off other people's earnings.
where in the bible is that a “principle”?

Buddy they will throw scriptures like :
2 Corinthians 8:4,; 9:1 so that an equalizing may take place. those who are rich or better off financially could contribute from their surplus to offset the needs of the others.
Matthew 25:40 The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
So consider it as doing for jokovah and hesus. It is such an honor to be able to give something back to god!
All taken to serve their own needs.
2014/09/15 washtowel Study edition has this to say on the subject: Remebr those in the full time ministry, para 4:question how are their material needs met? at times they received hospitality and other forms of aid from fellow bros and siss but never demanded such help ( REALLY SO TODAY?????).
If you want to read further read the whole article.
those that discouraged working full time and/or getting some post secondary education and will now feel the pinch because of a tanking economy?.
Matthew 7:12 do unto others what you want them to do to you
What goes round comes around or .....
What comes round goes round!
Go figure.

Dear Jehovah,
Just dropping you a line to say I and my children are dead. I put my abusive husband in the SFJTD* box about a year ago.....hopefully you'll get to it before the neighbours notice the smell.....
*SFJTD stands for Something For Jesus To Do (for those who don t know).

currently reading: apostles of denial by edmund c gruss.
the book presents the history, doctrines and claims of jws clearly,accurately.it examines these in the light of the bible, in the light of sound exegesis of the original languages in which the bible was written and with best scholarship o the subject.. although this was written in 1970 , its author was a exjw, so i find it intriguing to see the jw world of that time from someone who witnessed and experienced it all.. hooked from line one itself, remains to be seen if it will deliver to the end but so far so good.
has anyone read it ?
Will do Magnum.
A taste:
"The present study is important coz this movement is one of denial, making converts, causing them to come under the condemnation of jesus spoken to the most zealous group of his day: matthew 23:15 woe to you , scribes an pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so , ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves!
..........Then the doctrines of this group are studied both in summary and by direct quotations from the publications of the WBTS.Their major doctrines are examined in the light of scripture, church history, sound biblical exposition, and the Witnesses own text books.
Next, since the NWT is being hailed by the witnesses as their authority in doctrine , there is a section which examines and evaluates the work from the original languages and from the standpoint of accepted scholars. Reasons are given why this translation should be rejected.Comments by other reviewers are also included." (excerpts from the book)
All in all I can say I find it true to their research, study and findings.I am enjoying reading it.

So in order to lighten the disppointment here goes:
I always take life with a grain of salt. Plus, a slice of lemon. And a shot of tequila.
I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and I think, 'Well, that's not going to happen.
