Of course, the choice to share your income is your own.

But I understand the frustration of the above poster. Every time one of these threads pop up, people ask about income and get very vague indicators (basically "a lot" or "not as much as you would think" or something). It's a bit disappointing.

Basically was the only reason I came to this thread as well. "Wonder how much she makes from those views?"... vague answer. :/

With how limited and restricted tourism is, I doubt they see much in the way of money. It seems more of a ploy by the regime to get the outside world thinking good thoughts about NK. If someone comes there, sees that things are fine and dandy, they'll then bring that experience back out with them and share it with others. Of course, this does not always work as people see through the charade. Except motherfucking Dennis Rodman...

For similar reasons, Japan did a program hiring English teachers called JET many years ago. The primary goal was to get foreigners into the country and seeing what it had going for it, then taking those stories home with them. This led to the government paying rather high salaries just to bring people in to teach English in public schools (side benefit). Rather high being about $38,000 just for a 4 year undergrad degree in any subject, doing a job that required on average 3 class hours a day. Rent was also often subsidized.

Seconded. These two cover just about everything I could imagine wanting to use.

There is no way that he will. His quote is pretty telling

For me it was actually doctrine. We started to read more and more Bible, and started to find things that the JW publications got wrong. We started to ask questions

He is basically saying that the Bible is true but JW got it wrong. He's just proselytizing here on Reddit under the guise of "seeing the light". He still, obviously, believes that there is a Christian truth out there.

Reddit is way too quick to jump on this shit.

Edit: Mark my fucking words. There is no way that he'll fully respond to this question.
