They must really hate to put "full time minister" behind pioneer... I have quickly checked the CD-ROM an I have a feeling that they explain it more often in "study articles" than in articles for the public.

1) hypocrites, who feel superior but are full of mistakes which are only corrected when it is too obvious
2) too much effort for being part of an organization that is nothing but shallow just for relatives/"friends" sake
3) my kids should have a life and not suffer for the sake of rules made by some weird men in the US

Bethalite Paycheck?
by nonamegiven inhow much to bethalites get paid today?
i know it varies by length of service and marital status.
does anyone know?

Each Bethelite gets the same despite how long they have been there and regardless whether they are male, female, old or young. I do think you get more vacation as time goes by and more Saturdays off.
..and as time goes by you move on in the line of choice when a new, better appartment is available.
edited to add: IIRC, it is not the time at Bethel they count but the time in full-time-service as a whole.

Will the change to the Watchtower be followed by a change to the meetings?
by yaddayadda ini expect that a significant change to the meetings is on the horizon, most probably in the form of a shift of the bookstudy from a weeknight to a condensed saturday morning version.
some congregations already hold bookstudy groups on saturday mornings.
a universal change to this for the whole organisation make senses as it would help resolve a number of growing problems for the society, specifically, meeting attendance is clearly diminishing at the rate of knots in the western world, many elders are burning out and resigning because they cannot cope with all the pressure heaped up on them that so many meetings in no small measure contributes towards, and magazine 'sales' are apparently down and such a change would work in very well with the upcoming new change to the watchtower magazine in january 2008. .

German just remember the difference between Barrells and Kegs and you'll be fine!
IIRC, you native speakers were not too sure about that one, either.
Good luck with your test - I know you speak excellent English and they'll pass you if you do your famous Peter Kaye impression!
It this the way to s Amarillo? Thanks for reminding me of this great event, Crumpet!
German XJW where are you applying to study?
Scotsman, there is a course by a dutch college. It is parttime and they give credit for some things I have already done. I hope to have my BBA in a year.

My Bethel Experience part 13
by new boy inmost of us went back to bethel, thinking we wanted to make it our life long career......what better place to be right before 1975?.............that dream ended for the vast majority after just few months there, when they found out that something was very wrong.
other wise why would anyone want to leave a spiritual paradice?....
with only 2-5% staying after there 4 year commitment, and a very big percentage leaving before there time was even up.

Hay, even Germans like sex too.
I tend to agree.
BTW, I like your series and read every part of it.

If true this could come into effect without any announcement but just as a matter of fact. Then it just means that the 15th-edition is just more intersting in terms of New Light (tm).
