Renee, I agree with the post above. If there has been any confession or proof of Child abuse in the past, he will never be allowed a position again. That is the only thing (I think) that would render him unuseable as a servant forever. I know of one individual that is in that situation right now for something that happened many years ago. It puts an everlasting stain on ones record. Funny thing is tho, the congregation is not notified of this. So if the person still has tendencies for this kind of behavior, they are still available to take advantage of children in the future, they just can't hold a position in the congregation. How messed up is that???? seek2find

Hi, Gary, I guess I was thinking about whether it would help or hurt the "witnessing" effort, not necessarly the Society in a finiancial way. I don't really care about the finiancial thing, but I do care about the future people who my be deceived at their front doors. seek2find

Hey Ruth, That talk that Franz gave. Was that the one that just about the time it was over with a Thunderstorm was brewing and just before he released the book there was a big bolt of lightning and then it started pouring rain? Or am I thinking about another year. I went to Atlanta more than once. seek2find

Mulan said: Dave walked across the street to a store and I made sandwiches on my lap, to lots of dirty looks from the other conventioneers.
I think you were way ahead of your time on this one. Now everyone eats food they brought from the outside. Another example of the shifting standards of the organization. We probaly wood have gotten dirty looks if we had said that all the info about 1975 was nonsense also. seek2find

What Double Standards Exist With Jehovah's Witnesses?
by minimus into be a "good jehovah's witness" you must be able to live by double standards.
you have to know how to play both sides to the middle.
you have to speak and act one way with certain persons and another way with the others.. one example of how witnesses live by double standards:you cannot join the ymca because jws can't involve themselves with religious matters or else be shunned.

Freedom of speech is fought for all the way to the supreme court, but not allowed in the congregation (I.E. expressing doubts, ECT.) Ray comments on this in the 1st chapter of COC seek2find

I think that may have been the 1st year for "Drama's" One that stands out in my mind was called "Let no man look down on your youth" Many there were shocked by some of the content of the drama. Kinda brazen even by worldly standards for 1969. In the deep south especially. seek2find
