:You could have donated stock being held by the
Society for periods of time.
Valid point but that does not make for "Heavily invested"
:As for the vow, I thought Bethelites could work on vacation time for extra money.
They can. But the wording of the vow also allows them to make money as well. Anything exceeding basic living expenses has to be turned over to the religious order. They then made an exception to this if for example, a brother owned his own business prior to coming to bethel and receives a monthly stipend from the company. This amount is not covered by the Vow.
