if they were able to win on this ground, they could get out completely (although it could still be appealed to the ca supreme court).

brothers would full on laugh at the c.o's lame jokes.
fight over who gets him for dinner where no expense would be speared..."oh they dont eat flour, sugars or milk products...".
I met some thoroughly decent C.O's and their wives and some that were shell we say not so decent.
The one that sticks out in my mind as being the BIGGEST A.H is Hans Hubler famous for stopping his talks and asking the attendents to remove
a crying baby.
The biggest brown noses when the C.O came around were the Bro's trying to move up the ladder....Oh and their wives.

red or white,domestic or imported,a good wine can really accent a fine meal.one of my favorite red wine`s is a bordeaux from france,b&g 1725.inspired by the barton&guestier tradition which dates back to 1725 in boudeaux,fondation 1725 is a dry fruity wine with a deep garnet colour and rich,lasting aromas.merlot and cabernet sauvignon grapes confer strong flavours of black currant,violet and spices.it is excellent with red meats,poultry and cheeses.i also like to use it for deglazing when making gravies or sauces.enjoy!!

the golden rule:the people with the gold, make the rule`s!
Any wine from New Zealand weather it be Sav blanc (worlds best) lovely charrdony,pinot gris.
Reds: Pinot nior,or any of the bordeaux blends .

question to all those well versed in legal issues.
all jw's, when confronted with criticism, claim that apostates lie about the wt.
i always have wondered, given the litigious environment in which we live in western democracies, why the wts doesn't go after all those websites that publish so many "lies" about "the truth".. can this lack of action on the part of the wts be used as evidence of the truthfulness of the message in "apostate" sites such as jwfacts,.
Appart form the 1st ammendment getting in their way they are too scared to go into an open court were they can't close it down when it suits them.

righto, so who would like to get married?
i'm a great cook, good with kids, can clean and am currently in the process of losing weight.

Loubelle look at New Zealand great place to live temperate climate.
in my old congro i think there might be 1 elder who was pre 75 no m.s's .. c.o's only 1 i know of.. .
karter.. .
phizzy: My interest is i was a young person in 75 i saw the whole pre 75 ....sell your house go preaching becouse the end is about to happen.
It didn't came and most of ther Elders,M.S's even the C/O's around now only have the WTS sanitazed verson of what realy happened.
Try to explane it to them and your called Apostate.

back in 1973, when i was just a pre-teen, i remember that meetings in general were chock full of persecution talks, great tribulation talks and armageddon talks.
so much so, that there was a hightened sense of anticipation that the end was really just a few years away.
most j-dubs really believed, without any doubt, that freddy's estimation about armageddon in 1975 was a certainty (give or take a few months... not years).
Alot of the elders C.O's ect of today were not even around pre 75.
I was and clearly remember the talks at the KH and assemblys ect.
The WTS is at best "Date shy" these days never putting dates on anything....i guess they have been wrong so many times.

The answer is YES it's not up to the Elders to decide who calls on some strangers door.
Put it this way your wife starts a study with him and his wife and the children sit in and her husband finds out he is a child molester....go figure.
They should NOT be able to go from door to door....EVER!!!
The Elders seem to think it's up to them to decide who is fit to call on your door.
