Rural work was the bomb.
Nice drive in the country interupted by a couple of minutes of irritation at a door.

Field Service Antics ...
by writetoknow indo you remember all the munipulation and antics witnesses use to get out of actually going to the door and talking to people about the bible?.
i only bring this up because in another thread i posted someone made the assertion that if witnesses voted as a group they would change the election.
it like saying the witnesses go to every door in the world with the good news and their the only group doing the work!.

NEW SCROLLS ANNOUNCED
by tula inso that this will be no surprise to you, and so you will not be swayed in your firm stand of holy spirit truth, i give you this.. .
in the coming months expect to hear this in the kh and the mags..... "for those of you who have heard of the association of the wts and the un and have patiently and faithfully waited on jehovah, we can now tell you our reasons for doing this.
it has all been under the direction of the fds.. this library card was necessary because..... there are very old manuscripts that have never been deciphered and they have been housed within that library.. through much prayer and careful consideration, jah directed for our team of translators, which are the best and most accurate in the world, to be a part of this great uncovering of the new scrolls.".

What 10-hours-per-month regular publisher brings $80 profit to the Borg?
What 130 hour per month sp brings in $1,040.00 profit to the corp ? 1,040 mags ?
The bulk of corp. money comes from the shelf mags jw's buy and donations.
I just find it hard to believe the corp. pays for these sp's no return on their money.
I see them ending sp's . Not profitable for them.

A special pioneer gets paid to do the same thing they do for nothing .
Knowing how cheap a lot of JW's are, I would think this would piss them off.
Why are they so stupid ? Heeeeey wait a minute........... forget that last comment.

Nothing is free.
Don't worry Jehovah will provide, that is if you are well liked in the congregation and have your hours in.

Harumph, I see they didn't make it to the meeting, harumph.
Yeah, out to late Saturday night harumph, harumph?
2 Corinthians 10:12
Not that we [have the audacity to] venture to class or [even to] compare ourselves with some who exalt and furnish testimonials for themselves! However, when they measure themselves with themselves and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding and behave unwisely.yeah that

My brother and his wife are special pioneers.They were part of the first Bethel layoff.
It just never dawned on me before that SP's get paid for field circus while no one else does.
They put in 60 hours more than a regular pioneer and bang they get perks, doesn't make sense to me.
Does anyone know if SP's pay rent for those kingdom hall apartments ?
I know they get health benefits.

Special pioneer $600.00 per 130 hours per month. Healthcare 440.00(?) per month.
Total $1040.00 / 130 hrs. = 8.00 per hour.
Then :
Regular Pioneer 70 x $8.00 = $560.00
Aux. Pioneer 50 x $8.00 = $400.00
Publisher 10 x $8.00 = $80.00
Why not?
It would be the ethical business thing to do.

Enjoy I certainly did - NOT
There were 2 brothers.
John's son was lame and James' son suffered from blindness. During the
harvest-time, both brothers would take their sons with them into the fields
and worked very long hours to provide for their families. Often it was from
sun up to sundown.One morning, John didn't come to the field. James
couldn't go looking for him, since there was work to do. About noontime,
when James stopped for water and a short meal with his son, he saw from a
distance a man running toward him with a small child. The child was
skipping and running circles around the man. As they drew nearer, he recognized his
brother. He couldn't believe his eyes, because, yes, that was his nephew,
who just the day before was lame.James hurried to meet them and praising
Jehovah that this miracle had occured. When he asked John what happened, he
learned a good les son. John said when they went to the meeting that day,
Jesus the Master was there. He healed everyone in attendance.
The Circuit Overseer telling this illustration asked if you knew that Jesus
was coming to your meeting, would you be there? After a long pause, he said
Jesus is at every one of your meetings--are you?It was a powerful illustration. I knew you'd like it. We may not be physically healed at our
meetings today, but we do experience healing. First of all, we all know if
you have a regular (not migraine) headache, and you do go to the meeting
anyway, you still feel better after the meeting. And second, we are
spiritually healed. We get our "immunizations" against worldly thinking and
are fortified with "vitamins" from the Bible to keep us healthy in faith.So the next time you think you just can't go to the meeting, remember who will
be there waiting for us.
What you are is God's gift to you. What you bec ome is your gift to God.
