"No I don't want to waste my Saturday 'pioneering for a day' ".

"The Governing Body loves you"- Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses
"Love means not ever having to say you're sorry." - Love Story by Erich Segal
Maybe the Governing Body is stuck in a bizarro alternative universe in which they think that if they say they love you that this negates their responsibility to ever apologize for their misdeeds?

Jehovah's Witnesses is one mixed up and confused religion. Woman are the BACKBONE of this organization yet are viewed as second class 'citizens'. When I was a young boy in the 1960's I couldn't understand this scenario: There was an old anointed sister in our congregation that had been a school teacher and was a bookkeeper at a car dealership. She kept the 'accounts' for the congregation but was not actually THE Accounts Servant. She was a Book Study Conductor but was not teaching......she was just conducting the study. I always felt sorry for intelligent and accomplished women in this religion. If you had a dick you could hold a position in God's Organization and be a dick too!

The Washington Post did cover her interview. It is accessible on their website. The article is entitled: "Melania Trump discusses #MeToo, her marriage and that controversial jacket in a rare interview".
It is written by Emily Heil and was posted today at 6:32 am.

Do you suppose they have another corn maze this year? Or are they too broke to create another one?

The Governing Body does not want the rank and file Witnesses to carry hand guns. I think this article is a self evident reason why. I remember Ken Carr as being somewhat of a 'hothead'.
