  Do COs have a cushy life?

  by A question in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do cos (and dos) have a cushy life in comparison with other jws, or others in fulltime service?.

  it could be said that they do, since they have an apartment provided for them, meals out, green handshakes, and invites to social gatherings.

  it could also be said that they do not, since they may have to live in a different house every week, accept whatever food they're given, and they have a lot more meetings than the average jw.. .

  Smurf Rumors - 2 Questions

  by A question in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as the board no doubt knows, there was some sort of rumor in the early 1980s going around amongst the witnesses that a smurf doll came to life in the kingdom hall, or that smurfs were demonic.. 2 questions:.

  1. do any not remember any such rumors though they were witnesses at the time?.

  2. of those who do, did all the witnesses believe them, or otherwise, what proportion rejected the rumor as nonsense?.
