If you can't find Maximus, you can climb down the ladder a ways and talk to Minimus. He'll probably have some questions for you though ;-)

I think he was a CO (or maybe DO) There's a great 'best of section' of his older posts...good reading for new ones aka lurkers here.
Hope you find some answers...I am curious as to what happened to him.

I read an article about Warner Bros. promoting "Man of Steel" (new movie) to Church groups. They even have a website with sermons in PDF. Any Elders or MSs willing to work a little Superman into your next talk?

PS The new Superman movie is good btw, I give it a 7.5 out of 10.

Former Long Time Elder - Judicial Committees
by James Jackson inwhen i first was appointed as an elder, i could not wait to be on a judicial committee.
it semed like most hearings invovled middle age men and women cheating on their mates because either they had married early or felt that were being neglected by their mate.
most times i felt i need to take a long hot shower after a hearing.. the toughest part was seeing these sweet young children grow up in "the truth", and now you are about to judge their future based on their repentance.

Welcome James Jackson...Thanks for your honest post! I am definitely not one to judge. Look forward to more of your experiences as an Elder. I think it's a good thing for Lurkers to read the thoughts of all these former "Gifts in Men".
I respect all of you, even if you were at one time a gung-ho Elder.

Here's is a follow up email I sent today...it's a link regarding a Parking scandal that happened out west in Seattle area. I have relative there and have been to some DCs at a place called the Tacoma Dome.
------------------------ email below ----------------------------------
Sorry to bother you again. There is another link that I wanted to include, but forgot. It is an article that was in the Tacoma Reporter (Tacoma, Wa) about 10 years ago regarding a dishonest practice by the Watchtower. A JW Convention overseer was eventually disfellowshipped (the action that results in shunning) because he did not agree with the dishonesty that was going on. I think you would find it interesting. It links directly to an image of the Tacoma Reporter article. http://www.watchtowernews.org/tacomapark.htm Thanks again for your time! ----------------------------- end ---------------------------------------------------------- ldnomo...sadly you are right, I'm sure not many people care about the paper, let alone the religion section, and further down the line, the JDubs. I think doing this is more theraputic for me than anything.

Invites, Parking and the DC - a true laughable story
by wizzstick ini'm in a major uk city, and we're assigned to an out of city location for our district convention.. to set the scene this site is off a busy motorway (freeway).
it's a football (soccer) stadium.
there is nothing around aside from one petrol (gas) station which also has a tiny supermarket in it.

Manditory Security Clearence and Identification Badge For Any Door to Door Canvassers Religous or Commercial
by frankiespeakin inpeople going door to door uninvited should be required to get a licence and sercurity check if they are going door to door and required to show it on demand while engaged in the door to door work.. after all it is a perfect stranger for the most part who could be an imposter or maybe even a violent criminal or rapist.
no one convicted of sexual molestation or violent crimes should be given a permit.
an added benifit would be less people knocking on your door trying to sell you something be it a vaacum cleaner or armegeddon life insurance protection.. what is your opinon?.

I understand the arguments about freedom of speach...but I don't see a problem to having to get some kind of permit to go door to door. You have to get a permit to drive, permit to build something on your property, etc, etc...
I wouldn't have a problem if the watchtower needed to pay a permit fee for ea witness going door to door...say $10 per year, per pub in the US. Would we all like to see the WTS have to shell out 10mil.
