how else to fund five years of training?
My cheap 55% of JW wages do a pretty good bit, plus I am already paying assessment fees and the such.
For some reason though it is not required here in Atlanta. I would gladly join if it wasn't for the "voluntary" death benefits that need to be paid. Most of the time you never know how many members will pass on.
I also don't want to join and then get in a financial bind and not be able to pay. They say they work with you, but only for so long. I plan on joining somewhere near the middle of my 4th year.
International benefits don't start until fifth year.
