I think the oldeset is Betty john wife of the late Woolford john.
They were C.O's for many years and always loved children.
When Woolfred was very old and knew his time was limmited he said "If we had known the system would go on this long we would have had children"
It was sad as they would have made lovley parents.

i wonder how the bethellites fell now?
Some have been there for many,many years and thought the system would be over along time ago.
They will be put out into the world with no home,funiture ect.
The ones that are over 65 can get the pension but thats barely enough to live on.
Their "statis" as "Bethellites" will quickey be forgotten and will just another member of whatever congro they end up in.
A sad end to what most though woul'd be a job for life.

John & lorraine are still in the NZ bethel and he's still the top man there.
They would both be at retirement age.
I'm guessing they will be put out to pasture at some congro that needs some help.
Gone will be the days were they are treated like royalty...they will be john & lorraine averadge within a short time.
I always found them to be very nice.

i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.
Truman,
It's hard to know what to say at times like this but my deepest Sympathy.
My thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.

i have a friend, she has been my friend for over 20 years...in that 20 years i have seen her reasonably regularly.
i visit her, she visits me.. the thing that has started bugging me is this...... when i visit her it is normally in the daytime.
i stop in for a cuppa and a chat.
Still thinking.
I like my potatoe's spicy fryed with mint & yogert dressing.
