You still have to be fully vaccinated to attend any theocratic schools.
Great idea! This should be extended to Regional Conventions, Circuit Assemblies, Weekly Meetings, D2D and Shepherding visits.

Still no U turn on vax mandates for all schools
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inyou still have to be fully vaccinated to attend any theocratic schools.
elders and ministerial servants have their kingdom ministry school every year, the cobe of every congregation has to check that everyone is fully vaccinated.
after the school everyone will ask any bothers who were not there why not?

Today is 6/9 (june 9) box dates are (Nov 6 ) 9/6
I still don't understand. Today is June 9 or 6/9 as you would call it.
However, I thought November was the 11th month so why do you put (Nov 6) 9/6 and not 11/6?

Why infant baptism in Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Antonio_Madaleno in"adult baptism was not simply a question of religious dogma; it was an issue of power.
if baptism was delayed until adulthood​—thus allowing a person to make a decision based on faith—​some might not get baptized at all.
and individuals not baptized would, at least to a degree, remain outside the control of the church.

The Borg praises people from dunking their kids as young as 6.
I dont see how that's any different from infant baptism.For anyone that doesn't agree with that, how young would a child have to be in order to be considered 'an infant'? I went to the 'Infants' school from age 5 to 7. I then went to 'Junior' school from age 7 to 11.
I would say that the org doesn't baptise BABIES, but it sure baptises INFANTS.

That's a very interesting list, knew quite a few of them.
Albert Storer, Paul Presland from the 1970's I guess.
Philip Rose we had just a few years ago also David Rastall about the same time. He retired back to Rochester, I recall he had an accident, fell off a ladder. His son is a Director or whatever of IBSA.
Richard Cullen and Colin Conradie. G Birchley (can't remember his first name) I think he was an elder in Newark back in the day, used to do temporary CO work. Michael Purbrick was never liked in our congregation, everyone glad to see the back of him.
David Algar was on CO visit at our congregation the week we got married and came to the wedding. Great guy. He also did the dedication of a KH we were at some years ago.
Another CO I remember was John Flack. He stayed with us a couple of times. Never hung around after the meeting, back home and changed into his jeans, watching TV. Westerns fan. I can't remember what his wife was called but we could smell the Chanel No. 5 for weeks after they left.

Didn't he abandon his wife and run off with a sister sometime in the 70s while serving up north?
Indeed he did, not just any old sister but the wife of the City Overseer. She was older than me at the time but still a looker. She will be long gone now as will Doug Turnbull. He was on a radio programme once, discussing religion with a group of vicars, "Daniel in the Lion's Den". Ran rings around them, he knew his Bible, unlike so many of the modern age.

Wow, a few names from the past.
John Blaney - Back in the 1950/60's my dad was assigning out the territory for field service. Blaney finally came up to my dad, clicked his heels and saluted and said Yes Sir! He thought my dad should have been more tactful when telling bros/sis which street to cover.
Albert Broad. - Stayed with us many times back in the 1950's, drove an Austin 7 which he said he could drive through the wicket gates at the level crossings. Crazy!
Ron Drage. - Our DO back in the 1960's, eventually got called into Bethel. Had to resign along with a couple of others due to the Manchester case with the Charity Commission. Always wore a Dickie Bow. The last I heard he had cancer and was very ill.
Doug Turnbull. - Probably best not to mention what happened to him.

I'm sure that whatever it is, it will be a "toes and feet" moment with the majority of JW's thinking "is that all it is?"

Our CO is called Errol Flynn. Poor guy, fancy being saddled with a name like that. We have yet to meet him, his first visit a few months ago was cancelled as he had Covid. Does anyone know this guy? He replaces Sean & Nikki Smart who were OK.
