  5. Any Brother, MS or Elder who's Partner is alleged to have done wrongdoing must have his status reviewed - even if this is only an allegation as he will be deemed "Not to be presiding over his household in a fine manner

  I know an Elder who will be squirming if that one gets here.

  I still don't know why his wife left him and DAd herself, but I suspect she is now apostate as she will not communicate with any of her JW friends.

  He should have done a better job of looking after her spirituality. He must be weak in the faith

  they're going towards the elderly because the youth aren't loyal enough. us youth have a lot longer and a lot more to live for =D and we aren't as gullible as you silly old ones, hehehe (j/k)

  That doesn't do much for their long term viability though, dustyb.

  It also suggests that the owners of all local old folks homes be contacted to provide a "Free weekly bible discussion" to all elderly who want to attend in the home.

  Shysters have always preyed on the elderly, so this is a scary turn of events. Those in nursing homes will not be as well informed as the general public and will possibly be more susceptible to the soothing words of the witnesses.

  Well theres some positive moves there despite attempts to tighten up. As someone who has worked for major corporations for many years, I can only guess they have some "think tanks" working on this stuff which is unusual as the old cronies always worked top down and not bottom up. I suppose this is good news for reformers among us and bad news for the Watchtower death watchers.

  wonder if a letter writing campaign to old folks homes might be called for?

  Sounds like a plan...

  Many moons ago, I was visiting with my Day Care director, when I saw a child care tipsheet on her desk. It caught my attention, because it referenced quotes and literature from the founder of the Church of Scientology.

  The day care director had NO IDEA this literature was being distributed by a cult. Verrry smooth, C of S!

  Yes, a letter-writing campaign may not be a bad idea.

  Bingo Gary. What this actually translates to is: WHERE THERE IS A WILL...THERE WILL BE WAY.

  How insulting to our intelligence and that of the elderly.

  Nice try Ted. But we are on to 'you'.

  How sick ARE you anyway? This is as bad as placing yourSELVES at cemetaries to prey on those who's loved ones have passed on.

  Sick.
