Some workers remain in the work even after they have become a nervous wreck. Many need to get out to preserve what little sanity they have left.

Have you contacted your local workers and brought this issue to their attention?

Some old workers have passed their prime as far as preaching goes and should be retired. It is obvious that some workers do suffer from nervous maladies and it would be in their best interest to leave the work.
However, what are they to do outside of being a worker?
They give up all to become a worker so they have no home, no retirement fund, no support system to hop into. What's a worker to do?
Unfortunately, the system in place is such that they have no where to go (except to move in with a willing friend or relative & spend their days feeling like they are a 'burden').
The solution? Stay in the work.

I socialize with people who are nervous wrecks. I have neighbors who are nervous wrecks. None of them are in the work.

Nathan:
Is there provision set up for 'unactive' workers; those who due to health conditions, mental status, etc. are no longer able?
If a inactive worker moves in with a relative, does the work provide financially for the care of that worker or is it assumed that the family will provide?
Are inactive workers given a monthly stipend to help defray costs of their upkeep? I think it can be assumed that nursing home cost is absorbed by the current workers.....

Thank you for the clarification, Nathan.
And thank you for being honest in your criticism of the work in general who does not provide financially for those who leave the work for whatever reason..
Perhaps if more of the current 2x2's would express their dismay/concern/anger about the situation to the powers-that-be, different policy would be put in place provide for all ex workers.
As an aside, I was a 2x2 for 22 years and always assumed the ex workers were taken care of by the work. Since it was not something that was discussed openly, why would current 2x2's think otherwise? Dialogue exposes circumstances and helps bring about change...

Nathan, in the thread professing.proboards16.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1184441172&page=5 you refuse to name the people responsibe for managing the plenty of money in the friends trust funds ...
Now you complain that ex-workers are entitled to some form of compensation when they are obliged to leave the work for medical/health reasons.
Why the trust funds cannot serve as social security organisations ensuring that workers receive a proper pension and health benefits? The idea of a trust fund is by itself against the motto «the rightful will live through faith». So why not accept the fact that the 2x2s is like any other church of this world and should get organised as such instead of remaining a secret cult ruining lives?
It takes guts my friend to recognise that this IS NOT the Truth as so many bad workers (I would say crooks but you may disagree) still pretend by hiding their heads in the sand.

size=4]And why the workers that receive no support do not file a case with the local judge against the fund trust managers and the overseers ? What are you waiting for? God will certainly no be at the meeting you know ! He has appointed judges and policemen and the IRS to act in his name ...
Open your eyes poor fellows. Open your eyes.[/size][/color][
