Thank JJ for this info. I'm sorry that a few posters always have to be nit pickers. They behave the same way JC elders do! Guess they still haven't got over it!

when i read coc, i was stunned that the 2 elders (theotis french & rob dibble) were on ray franz judcial committee.
i have known these men for over 20 years having done rbc and convention work with them.
they are still elders today which means they were in their early 30's(which is unheard of for a case of this importance to have inexperienced elders to sit on) on this committee.. without revealing myself, i have never tried(but have wanted to), ask them about their on having to judge a former gb member.. then out of the blue, about a year ago, i was mentioning how hard it is trying to get younger ones to volunteer to one of these elders, and he says"this is nothing compared to to sitting on the committee that had to disfellowship ray franz".

i visited the russell gravesite with the pyramid yesterday with my local jwn guide.
a very interesting experience and we even met some real and enthusiastic jw pilgrims on the site.. but do any of you guys know anything about the gravesites of rutherford, knorr, franz or henschel?
where are they and how do they look?.
If you speak with your jwn guide again tell that person to PM HappyDad as I was once an elder in one of the congs. about 13 miles south east of Pittsburgh. Hope you are enjoying your travels!

the old guys sided with hobby lobby today in denying birth control coverage to its female employees based on the owners religious views.
intact- is viagra for the guys.
funny how the far right evangelical owners of hobby lobby didn't want to touch that one.... read judge ginburg's scathing counter argument and opinion.. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/13-354_olp1.pdf.
LisaRose,
You are not getting the point. I'm not in favor of what HobbyLobby is doing either! I just get sick and tired of reading the rantings of individuals who don't gather ALL of the facts before they spew thier comments. What some have said on this thread (in not knowing ALL the facts) is just as bad as the right wing political conspiracy theorists.

Im sorry......maybe not, but after reading all of the comments, it seems to me that XJW's are just as bad if not worse than any other group that wants their viewpoints and opinions shoved down the rest of mankind's throats. You all want YOUR way or the highway. To you, it doesn't matter what the other person or group thinks. You are like little kids throwing a tantrum because you don't like something. You gnash your teeth at anothers way of life but you cry and cry if they say something negative about your way of life.
Grow up!
In the bars it is said of wimps when they have had to much to drink that they are "flexing their beer muscles". Those wimps after a little more than smelling the beer cap would fight the 200 LB brute who is minding his own business. You are like the wimp. You don't get involved in anything positive but just like to be negative by flexing your "keyboard muscles". Go out and get involved with organisations that express what you believe and look for ways to make a difference. Q uit mouthing off YOUR opinion and getting pissed that others think differently.
If you read what OhioCowboy said.......get the facts about any issue before getting diareah of the mouth.

i took up cycing a couple of months ago just to get fitter and lose a bit of excess weight.. i bought a second-hand hybrid bike (weighs only slightly less than a truck) and fitted road tyres.
four or five times a week i will go for a ride after work for an hour or so.
i am fortunate enough to live in rural north england surrounded by limitless quiet roads.
Cofty,
Yes....Allegheny, PA is where old Charlie started it all. Today that area across the Allegheny River from the city of Pittsburgh is called the North Side. That is where the baseball and football stadiums are located. And old Charlies pyramid is about 5 miles from there.

Hmmmm.....wonder what happened to all of my titles an sentences? Anyhow, I did a lot of riding on the Greater Allegheny Passage in Western Pennsylvania with my Trek. The pictures are along the Yougogheny River. The ride was always enjoyable.
