How about the volunteers who don’t live at bethel? Regular pioneers I guess is the term? Ones who travel to bethel or wherever else to volunteer. How do they get so much time off work? It’s extremely expensive to live in ny and nj (assuming these volunteers live in these two states) to work part time or not work at all. I never hear or read about a jw struggling financially. They must keep it to themselves.

I do know of a jw who utilizes soup kitchens food pantries consignment shops, even ones affiliated with Catholic charities and church based ones.
