I remenber that KM from 1994. I also remenber soon after that at an MS/Elder meeting with the CO he indicated that if an MS or Elder filed for bankruptcy his qualification would be called in question. We had one Elder file and he kept it quite cause it was because he was going on vacation all the time and maxed out his credit cards. When it was brought to his attention he blamed it on medical bills. I know this for a fact cause it was my ex-father in law adn he asked me to lie for him when i was questioned by the BOE.

Are JWs allowed to declare bankruptcy??
by navytownroger inhas anyone known or heard of baptized jws declaring bankruptcy?
if so, wouldn't that amount to 'stealing' from the businesses or persons they owe money to?
when you incur a debt, isn't there a legally-binding 'promise' that you will pay back what you owe?

How did you "expand" your Field Service time
by donny ini remember when a brother named donis and i used to go out in field service on the weekends we took advantage of our congregations large territory.
we each had about nine return visits and we would pick one on the southern end of the territory and afterwards drive to one in the northern part and then back again.
along the way we would throw in laundry mat to dump a lot of the magazines that were given to us by other brothers/sisters who needed room in their garage.

Lied on field service reports!!!! If I Aux. Pioneered I would go out early in the morning before work and if i did 1 hour i would count it as 3!!!! ON weekends my buddy (the PO) and I would go on BS calls to visit the "friends" to encourage them. Most of the time we end up having a cold beer back at his place. About the only thing i miss about field service is have a few drinks at noon and pretenting we had God's blessing!!!!

Breaking News - Ramblings of the Governing Body
by Edward Elder inif you're still unsure about the hotline to heaven (aka fds), then have a laugh at this truly pathetic story being circulated by the dubs - comments from stephen lett of the groaning body - see below.. to summarise lett's mind-control ramblings:.
angels are directing jws in the ministry - of course!if you don't answer the door - god will kill youif you don't listen to us - god will kill youbrainwashing of minor children is a real winnercalling on empty houses may seem like a waste of time - but to dubs it's the work of angelsfor the bethel drone monitoring this post - wake up and smell the coffee, before you're made to leave your cosy brooklyn office and hack the streets calling on empty houses.. you can be sure lett will be right behind you!.

Only thing they taught me during my time with them was how to be a heavy drinker and how politics work in the hall!!!!

A real-life dub fairy tale. Happy ending? Not so much.
by parakeet innew light for you started a thread a day or two ago regarding an email that's been circulating around dubdom.
it's a fairy tale in which a 60-year-old guy with down's syndrome supposedly searched for years for dubs to connect with.
when he finally found one, all the dubs rejoiced that jehovah doesn't let his faithful followers down, blah, blah.

All that talk about love and how they take care of each other is a bunch of BS!!! I supported two young sisters from the Hall for almost two years and not one person offered to help!!! I totally changed my families’ lifestyle to have these two sisters live with us. When I wanted some privacy, nobody would volunteer to take them for a few days. I paid for their cloths; food, everything and I would always be told how I was “storing up treasures in heaven and how Jehovah would bless me”. All a bunch of bull!!!!! JW only look after themselves!!! They will only display “love” if it benefits them.

Not sure about your question but in the City of Montebello, CAlifornia and ex-elder was elected to the City Council. I myself have served as a deputy-county clerk ( i had to take an oath of office and be appointed by the board of supervisors). I don't see why JW can't vote.
