Were the "Pioneers" in your hall treated with favoritism by the Elders?
by booker-t init seems that all of the parts on the theocratic ministry school were given by the pioneers in my old hall.
also the elders were always complemented on how "sister pioneer" is so zealous and loves jehovah.
as if sister not pioneering hated jehovah.

Pioneers were practically worshipped in my old hall. My Mom is a pioneer and she gets special treatment all the time. She also has an unbelieving mate who keeps her well dressed and always pay for her vacations.
I may have this wrong, but I believe there are certain asemblies overseas that the requirements are that you need to be a pioneer for a determined number of years to qualify to go as a delegate.
My Mom has gone to Japan and various countries in Europe as a delegate.
If that's not treating a group special I don't know what is.

Dasun Allah, was a guest host on a popular morning radio show "Star and Bucwild " and he said that he hates the dubs and how they destroyed his family.
He freely admitted that he did the vandalism and expects to have his day in court.
I guess everyone has their way of showing their protest of the Borg.
I almost forgot, he also said the there a 2 members of the Wu Tu Clan? that are also ex dubs.

Financial reasons for being a Dub
by pratt1 in.
how many of you stayed in the "lie" longer than you believed it was true because you needed financial support from someone in the borg.. i know i stayed longer than i wanted to so that i could become financially independant from my parents and therefore i could do as i pleased without the financial ramifications.

I got one funny, one not funny, but embrassing.
1. My dad actually studied with the dubs in the early 70's. Anyway he was in a demonstration on the service meeting and it called for him to get angry at my mother for trying to witness to him. My dad the great actor grabbed his newspaper and threw it on the table and stormed off the platform in a huff. Well when as he got out of his seat to storm off the platform he ripped his pants from back to front, it made a huge sound. Dad was so embrassed he nearly stopped going to the hall at all.
2. As an elder was giving the sunday talk, his oldest daughter that married an MS who was physically and emotionally abusing her came on to the platform, sat on one of the end chairs and cried "Daddy please help me". She then started to urinate on herself. Apparently she had tried to leave her husband and move back home with her parents, but her Dad wouldn't hear of it.
She was eventually hospitalized. I don't know what happened to her, but it was very sad.

Benefits of being a Dub as a child
by pratt1 in.
i can't think of many benefits of growing up a a dub but i do remember that i always viewed the other dub kids as brorthers and sisters and they became my support system amongst the "worldly people".
i remember going into a new neighhood or a new school and knowing that once i met the dub kids there, i would automatically have friends and i would not be alone.. this was especially comforting to me because i was an only child, and many times i entered into a new school not knowing anyone and sometimes being the only black kid in the class, my dub peers made me feel welcome and accepted me into the circle immediately.. for many years i feel special to be part of this worldwide brotherhood, and i am sure it is the reason why now i am inafriad of changes and/or new surroundings.. did you have similar experiences?.
