    Barbara, did Ciro ever explain the real reasons the Watchtower joined the UN? I believe the signature was Ciro's on the application.

    No, we didn't know Worth Thornton. The name is familiar, but...

    Unless we worked with, ate with, or went to meetings with someone there, we'd rarely get to know them personally.

    Oh, I got a question, is Ciro deceased?

    What you have just told us was profoundly moving Barbara, thank you for telling us.

    I've never understood how CO's & their wives managed to live out of suitcases, sleep in someone else's bed week after week & SMILE SMILE SMILE.

    It's not a life I would care to live.

    If you feel you can I would love to hear more of your experiences as being able to live a life in 'Bethel' was just a fantasy to a little JW lad growing up in southern England.

    Free trip, pocket money. Great deal for a starving couple and they credit the people who overwork them and underpay them for sending them out.

    And we never dreamed that people thought we were hypocrites! We, just like the average JW, just didn't know any better.
