Hi Lisa,
In commenting at the meetings I had a tendency towards prolixity.
In posting however, I find that I do not lean in that direction.
Sorry, I dont know what that does to your theory!

i have a theory and i'd like to put it to the test here.. i would be willing to bet that the posters who post a great deal probably commented more than the average publisher at the meetings.. i know it's true in my case.. on simon's forum we have the whole range of 'publishers-' from those that comment a lot ---down to those that are just there.
the lurkers.. what about you?.

Hi rhett,

Doug (Freepeace),
Do you remember the Throckmortons from either Evansville or Hendersonville (I think) KY across the river?
Sorry to ask an off-topic question.

just when you think your immune to the pain from family members shunning you get a surprise.
my sister hasn't talked or communicated with us for nearly 2 years.
in november my mom bought her granddaughter ashley a beautiful doll.
Venice,
I too feel your pain.
For what it is worth, Im sorry.
I can relate.
Love, Dino
an exhaustive study has been done on the behavior of cult groups - in several books about "cults", they enumerated 21 major points where you can identify the traits of a cult-like organization.
bear in mind that the authors did not target jehovah's witnesses as a specific group at all, which made it all the more frightening!
but this dissertation generalized all cult-groups existing in the world.... 1. control-oriented, arrogantly assertive, power-posturing leadership.. 2. authoritarian and legalistic with dictatorial, dogmatic doctrines that are proclaimed to be "the truth".. 3. claims of being the channel of communication between god and humankind; having unique knowledge that makes them special.
Thank you Richie.
Very helpful.

i am watching what i think is the dumbest movie ever put on film,the quick and the dead.
sharon stone (who i think looks great with no panties) absolutely sucked in this stupid movie.
whats with the plot of this yawner,its been done a bit too much.she was terrible and gene hackman must have needed the money when he signed on to do this groaner..just my opinion and we all know what they about opinions...they are just like assholes, we all have them and they all stink...

i was told that gerrit losch was one of the nethinim before he became a gb member that means he was not of the annointed.
my source told me he felt he was annointed but did not partake from the emblems because of his wife who has the earthly hope.
but then he changed his mind and became a gb member.. is this true?
Hello German JW.
In answer to your original question, yes you are correct.
A circuit overseer stated almost exactly the same scenario regarding Gerrit Losch when we were discussing his appointment to the GB back in the 90's.
Richie, please enlighten us as to which 2 GB members are not "spirit anointed"?
The recent legal legerdemain can be confusing, however as German JW said, the GB represents the "FDS" in their theology, and as such, must claim to be "spirit anointed" to serve on the GB.

Didnt ole' Judge Rutherford give a concert at Albert Hall in '26?
it is hard for me to transcibe certain feelings into written words especially since i'm not what you would consider to be a real emotional person.
i have also mastered the art of rarely showing any outward emotional expression.
i will try and do my best to give you some of the feelings i experienced today through my eyes, so please bare with me.. i drove the hour to mcminnville which is a small town about forty miles south of portland.
What else can I add.
Thanks big guy.
