  uh, hello, uh, well, i wanted to know how long it will be before the "newbie" title comes off?

  i noticed that some others who have been here since 2004 still have the title "newbie".

  how many years do you need before you move up?

  Why was Olin Moyle Disfellowshipped?

  does anyone know exactly why olin moyle was disfellowshipped?

  the only reason i can think of right now is that he wrote a letter that rutherford didn't like.. why did rutherford have to make such a big deal about the letter?.

  it could be that rutherford's personality just could not let any criticism be left unchallenged.. --vm44.

  I always thought it was because of his name. Sounds too much like "Popeye Doyle" the philanderer in that movie "The French Connection"

  Oh, ok thanks. So really, a newbie could become a junior member in a matter of days then I suppose? I just saw the little display above this post that indicates how much more I am allowed to contribute at a time. This is neat.

  As time goes by, will there be "less" disfellowshipping?

  if i compare the congregation i attended 20 years ago, and the same one today, it would seem that it's just the core that's left.

  many left or got df'd years ago.. and those that are left, are either ms, elders, or former ones.

  and then there's the kids who grew up.. i wonder if the congregation is getting more and more refined as people are df'd?.

  I did a study on the whole disfellowshiped verses remaining and family sprawl, and have concluded that most of the world doesn't like Jehovah's Witnesses. After doing the study, I suddenly realized I didn't need to do a study to realize this. Most people don't like anyone coming to the door unannounced. Perhaps the only solution will be more fearful homeowners with ammunition, and nerves that have gone three days without a stiff drink.

  Oh I see. So why is the bottom level called "newbie" if it has nothing to do with how long you have been here?

  Internet Service Provided By The Society

  there's been speculation about how the society could make wt cd's with "site monitoring" software on them, how about internet service provided by the society?

  this way you'd feel like you have the freedom to surf the net but all the "bad" stuff would be blocked out.

  they'd have total control over what the surfer sees.

  I don't think that most dubs would really go for that, considering most hypocrites, like myself who always had my own personal inhibitions, and led a double life, wouldnt' buy it. Only the soc would try such foolishness though.

  We could start calling them "Jehovabots" and add them to the Transformers collection. (Autobots , like optimus prime and megatron).
