Some recent 2x2 overseers in Oregon include: Harold Bennet, Ralph Sines and Howard Mooney
- 2x2 overseers forbid 2x2 workers from marrying. If they marry, they lose their job.
- 2x2 overseers don't approve of consentual sex if other people know about it. have a lot to say about a 2x2 workers sex life too. If a 2x2 worker does marry, then they are no longer considered to be a "worker", lose their employment and must find another job. If a 2x2 brother worker gets a 2x2 sister worker pregnant, then usually the 2x2 sister worker is moved to a remote country for her to have her child and then she is brought back.
Paul wrote expressly about people who have departed from faith in God, that they would forbid to marry.
1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
The Bible is clear that overseers and workers are men that have departed from faith in God because they've accepted these teachings.
