I still remember OOMPAH as I'm sure many here do also, even though I never knew him.

whats the latest news on this ?
.
been quiet lately..
I once heard that there was a plan to move from London to Milton Keynes, this was also about 20+ years ago. Negotiations were at a quite advanced state when Brooklyn pulled the plug.
When work stopped on Chelmsford for a time, a few years ago now, the same brother that told me about MK said that if Chelmsford wasn't allowed to go forward there would be a revolt at London Bethel and Brooklyn would have to let the project continue, even if they sold it some years down the line. He was right as it turned out and I for one would not be surprised if they cash in on it in the future.

A brother I know has been sent home as have many others apparently. Chelmsford is in lock down. This guy gave up his business to go and work there full time so he is back living with a relative. I suppose they don't want the expense of feeding idle workers.

… and must serve a minimum of eight years.. eight f**king years?!

the little girl's life is worth much more than that.. this is not justice.
When she is eventually released she should be returned to Albania.

today there is a lot of hope placed in a vaccines to immunise against covid 19 , and relief that they are soon to be available.
that will be shared by the eight million or so jws in this world.
they should be thankful that the wts has moved away from its teaching ,that lasted for decades , proclaiming that vaccination was wrong, and a tool of satan.
My parents became JW's in the 1940's when I was born. They followed the no vaccination route for me until the mid 1950's when there was a lot of polio around and I was vaccinated then apparently at school along with all the other kids.
My parents likewise never used aluminium pans and when we received a set for a wedding present we were told by my father never to use them!

when confronted with angus stewart’s blunt question “do you see yourselves as jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth?” the answer that came from jackson’s lips was astounding.. “that i think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.
the scriptures clearly show that someone can act in harmony with god’s spirit in giving comfort and help in the congregations, but if i could just clarify a little, going back to matthew 24, clearly, jesus said that in the last days ‐ and jehovah’s witnesses believe these are the last days ‐ there would be a slave, a group of persons who would have responsibility to care for the spiritual food.
so inthat respect, we view ourselves as trying to fulfill that role.”.
I think he was just giving the answer that would give himself and the GB the least problems. What he really believes, like the truth, is of no concern to these guys. Theocratic warfare as they say. Or in English, blatant liars!

whilst i have never quite understood whether petra and atlantis are one or multiple entities i recognise the value of their work and web of contacts.
i think it is fair to say that no-one has consistently contributed more solid gold intelligence to this site.
no one has reliably passed on more bomb shells and solid news as well as day to day minutiae.
Simon seems to be unusually quiet on this very important topic.

or..as i remember the title..circuit servants wives.
but then i left 40+ years ago.. any recollections of those females that led such an unnatural existence?.
those that i recall seemed such aloof creatures..
I think the only CO & wife that I really liked were John & Jean Flack. Many of the older ones here in the UK will probably remember them. They stayed with us once about 40 years ago. They were a young couple, probably about 10 years older than my wife and I so they are now well into their 80's.
As soon as the meeting finished they were always keen to get home and change into their jeans and get in front of the TV. I could smell the Chanel No. 5 drifting around the house for a week after they left!

we had a letter read in our cong.
last week that said the public wt and awake would be delayed during the beginning of 2021. meaning we would just use the 2020 version into 2021 and there would be no new ones at the beginning of 2021 until an undetermined time sometime during the 1st half of 2021. at least that is the gist that i remember.
it was in what atlantis provided but there was no further detail....very brief.. any more intel or speculation on this?
Only the 2021 printed Public magazines are being delayed, no doubt due to lock down at Bethels until February at the earliest.
The digital versions are still being published and if by "2021 weekly study content" you mean the Christian Life and Ministry then the combined Jan/Feb is available on line.
