hello i used to serve at wallkill bethel.

i lived in the c building, i remember doing my watchman asignments with the little divice that you use to scan the areas you are supposed to reach.

at this time the construction was not complete in the printery and areas next to the main lobby.

were you around when they switched from calling it the FARM to Walkill? oh boy call it the Farm now and it's like taking out a green Bible

Circuit Overseers

some circuit overseers leave lasting impressions either for good or bad.

others i barely remember.

three that had the most impact on me were rodricks (that's how it's pronounced, not sure of the spelling), casino and shepherd.

Crapola - Larry Barnette taught my pio-school in 1993 yup all sisters were naked in his eyes... I always felt like he looked DOWN at everyone

The Watchtower Is Never "Really" Wrong

by minimus in

jw
friends

no matter what they say, they're never really wrong.

misstatements serve a purpose!

they always reinvent their words or simply deny ever teaching certain things.. the witnesses are not a humble group of christians.

Found Sheep

the "light" scripture is a way to change any thought they have as something "inspired" by God - they are never wrong, just changing the light bulbs...

A question about marriage in the organization

by dgp in

jw
friends

this post was motivated by another thread, namely.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/188552/1/onereason-for-a-gentleman-fader-to-stay-reasonably-associated.

this thread makes reference to the fact that a 40 something brother has a real chance with twenty-something and less sisters.

Found Sheep

I know of a few situations like that... 20 something going for the "new" older JW... there are a lot more men than woman so the men tend to get what they want... that of course is a major generalization but seems to be the trend...
