On the German board we recently had a discussion about the people that were involved in the production of the Aid-book and that later left the Organization. In CoC the following persons are mentioned in connection with the Aid-book project: Lyman Swingle, John Wischuk, Raymond Franz and Reinhard Lengtat.

Franz and Lengtat later left the JW. Lyman Swingle was a GB member. He was somehow punished for being too liberal but he stayed in the Org and on the GB.

I had not known anything about John Wischnuk until Dogpatch reposted the new structure of the Corporations and I noticed that he is one of the Directors of the WTS of Pennsylvania.

It seems that he has not have a crisis of conscience.

Does anybody know any details about this guy?

The Governing Body - Invisible and Impersonal

there used to be a time when one knew who the president of the watchtower society was, and with that in mind, one could sense some kind of leadership.

perhaps witnesses then, felt that "the society" was keeping up with jehovah's celestial chariot.

maybe you felt in the 80s and 90s that you had to keep "in step with jehovah's organization" because it was making bigger steps each year - and with each new release, maybe you felt "privileged" to be a part of the "spiritual paradise.".

I noticed that John Wischuk is one of the directors of the Pennsylvanian Corp. He was one of those assigned with the Aid-book-project and worked together with Ray Franz and Reinhard Legtat. Together with Lyman Swingle who was responsible for the project he stayed in the Org.

I changed my job recently and my new boss let me do the MB-Test:

Result: INTJ

I have been told that there is no bad or good result but that a team should consist of many different types - and that you should know where their strength and weaknesses are.

as soon as anyone knows the new releases can you post on this site please?
GermanXJW

I have been told in the German branch that the JW making the new releases have made a vow of silence not to talk about what is going to be released.

An Elder in my former congregation was the District Convention Overseer. He got the new releases in an envelope. He would say that he was in the know but would not give any details. (Sucker!)

I have always been very nosy so I appreciated the Internet where I could learn about the new releases in advance.

Now, I like to destroy the Society's system of information control. :-)

The Society is always making a secret out of this. I think it is a good idea to spread the information about new releases including reviews across the web before most JW have even had their conventions.

Ex-elders: did you ever confront anyone on FAKE HOURS
by Quotes in

a few recent threads have been about faking hours in field service reports (for example, this one: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/72429/1.ashx).

a number of posters said they would never actually go in service, but still magically get in their hours each month.

my question to you ex-elders: did you ever confront someone on this?
GermanXJW

> Instead of turning in the field service report by dropping it anonymously into a box, the reports are to be turned in directly to the publisher's Book Study Conductor.

Does this mean the forms are not used any longer?

No, I do not know anything at all. But I am still interested in which this org is heading.
If it is something worthwhile I consider getting it and write an early review online.
