So slim,
Are you in the LDS for the "celestial sex?"
JK
Did others experience this on the ministry or among JWs generally?

Sometimes the conversations would get specific about who is going to get which big house.
I couldn't help but think of some well known characters in the Bible who did something similar:
"The Zebedee boys came to Jesus and asked for the best spots in the kingdom … when the others heard about this, they got angry" etc. (Mark 10:35-44)
Elsewhere Jesus called such places "abodes" or as the AV/KJV puts it, "mansions," John 14:2.
There Jesus did take them to task for their "crass, selfish and pathetic attitude to have to fellow human beings," even their own brothers.
I guess then we should expect the same thing today, eh?
BTW in looking up these passages, I discovered that the RNWT has adopted the standard translation of many other Bibles at John 14:2, getting rid of the "many abodes" rendering for "many dwelling places." (NAB, NEB, NRSV)
