Why would you?. It is not an ideal life style. Most people don't want to be celibate, not natural, not the way we were meant to live. One of the greatest pleasures in life is your own Family, established with your partner.
Most intelligent people are now aware that the 2x2 doctrine has more holes in it than a sieve, why would any sensible person want to flog a dead Horse

Just heard 3 new workers going out in BC, 3 in Alberta and 1 in Saskatchewan. It’s a pretty nice lifestyle!

The problem is retention. Some go out and stay a few years at most and then leave with scars.

It was very enjoyable life as a worker for me. I enjoy in getting to know the friends better when we stayed in their homes.
We share with their joy, sorrows, and trials it bonded our love for each others.Those are some of my highlights in the work.
There were some loneliness time, no privacy or time for yourself, some challenges to be with certain workers that put some stress in your life but the good Times outweight the bad and the ugly days.

WHY? Does quoting relevant scripture send the 2x2;s into sometimes a nasty response??

G'day Redback,Do you know if William Irvine had his own translation"?? Because he obviously left out 1 Corinthians 9,5-6 !!!! Haven't I the right to follow the example of the OTHER APOSTLES and the "LORD'S"brothers and PETER,by taking a CHRISTIAN WIFE with me on my "TRAVELS"? Or Barnabas and I the "ONLY ONES" who have to "WORK"for a "LIVING"? It has exactly the same meaning as the KJV!!! You both well?.. Magoie.

If it was good Nathan, how come you gave up. Please tell. ** God has another calling/plan for my life. The Internet which I began 25 yrs ago. I really, and truly enjoy this calling/plan of God for me. I have learned a lot from different ones from all over the world on here for over 25 years. I have been very active on the Internet almost every day for over 22 years. If I were in the work I would NOT have the time or the energy to post on here as often. So, it has turned out better than I had expected, I would have NEVER dreamed I could have learned SO MUCH about the 2x2 history, the Vaudois, and many history and events the last 6000 years and beyond... I would NOT have learned many of these things from the workers. Thanks, be to the Godhead. The workers have taught me Jesus Christ the New Testament foundation of the apostolic ministry and Sunday worship/fellowship. The Godhead has expanded my understanding beyond this world, the next/New chapter the 1000 years reign of Christ kingdom on earth. The coming of the NEW resurrection bodies for the true believers of Christ that the Corvid19 or any SUPER Virus can kill our NEW eternal bodies.

Nathan don't blame God for it. It is purely a decision you made of your own accord, in answer to decisions made by your own brain. You made the choice all by yourself, nothing to do with anybody or anything else.

I didn't Blame God or anyone for my choice in my posts but I gave Him/Them all the credits, glory and praises for given me another plan for my life that turned out to be awesome and an amazing experience. I am very happy I made my choice I did according to His will... The results have been very positive and good.

Be honest Nathan you did it all by yourself, because it suited you to do so. We make choices mainly to suit ourselves, thinking that it will give us a happier life. No harm in that, we all do it by ourselves in answer to our own desires.
You make your own bed, then you have to sleep in it.

Well, you are entitled to your own opinion and I tell you my side of these events... believe it or NOT that is OK by me. Like I said the results have been positive and good for me is the most important part that I have grown, and love more for Christ has increased in my heart.

Several workers on that photo are retired and living at the Pecan Grove facility owned by friends. Some were probably not even "Texas" workers.

Just saying it as it is. I believe in playing a straight bat, say what you mean, don't try to make it into something else, to justify your own actions. You are in control of your life, nobody is.

Your facts are NOT the same as mine. You can preach your kind of the gospel as much as you want and I will preach my gospel as I want and let the readers decide for themselves.

That is the way it should be Nathan. People make their own choices we need to respect that.
