brothers would full on laugh at the c.o's lame jokes.
fight over who gets him for dinner where no expense would be speared..."oh they dont eat flour, sugars or milk products...".
We in the netherlands had the greatest bold and fat annointed AH CO I ever met, Herman Steenkamp.
He got df because of being gay, had sex with a unbaptized publisher. Now after years reinstated. My question to my jw parents was...did you have 143.999 heavenly bastards those years, because we were always told that earthly hope was not a second class department. So the bender must be back in heavenly business now. Or do they have 144.001 now? No answer on that up to now.
born in 1950, he apparently became a regular pioneer in 1971.. but wait.... let's just say that he enlisted (or was drafted) in 1968 at age 18.... depending on the branch of service, he would have to complete anywhere from 2 to 4 years of service.
yes, duty in hot combat zones was usually limited to 6-months at a time but you still had to serve a total of 2 to 4 years depending on the branch of service.
assuming he only served 2 years, he would have been 20 years old and discharged by 1970.... how did he get witnessed to, complete a book study, become an unbaptized publisher, get baptized and then become a regular pioneer in less than year???.
He should be ashame of his life instead of using his vietnam career to obtain importance.
i can't seem to find any quotes on this.
does anybody have any?.

When you write your letter to the congregation that you no longer want to be known as a JW, they have to make that announcement. From that moment on you are in the same position as a df person.
I havent done that, but I am thinking about doing it.
i don't know if this question has been asked before,.
but, in any case,.
based on the comments of the governing body, at various conventions, annual meetings , info-mmercials, etcetara, etcetara, etcetera, [ i loved yule brenner in the king and i],.
If they are what so many times is said they are, milionaires, travelling, 4 star hotels, Bentleys, butlers.....they can't be stupid :) :) :)
In my belief you can't measure intelligende unless they are tested.
so i have been doing a little light reading regarding the whack job rutherford and find out he had a son.
does anyone know if he had grandchildren etc?
if so, where are they?.
I dont beleive any present day jehovahs witness young or old has any idea of these facts and if confronted with it would probably say "thats old light "
How do you argue with that mindset
smiddy
if you're lucky they'll recognize the name Rutherford. Most youngsters won't I guess.
so it's rumored started by one member that there is a new pioneer rank called basic pioneer, announced at annual meeting.
can anyone verify this is true?
everything else presented at the meeting has been verified except this.
Stuckinarut2: 3) sounds plausible....
They are trying to downsize bethel numbers everywhere, so what better way to do it and provide some sort of "dignity" to the ones they cull!
Send them out (on their own, or with a very basic allowance) to some god-forsaken place as "MISSIONARIES" with all the in-house glory it provides.
End result: lower bethel numbers and less responsibility and financial strain on the org....
A missionary costs three times as much as a Bethelite. Don't comment without knowledge please.
i have seen that some say if a man has 3 beers per day or a woman has 2 glasses of wine per day, that they may have .

Good for you quelly...you can increase increase now.
i came across this video ... and watched it ... why?
i don't know really, but i found it intersting.. especially interesting was how these men used the bible, they knew their message, they used an actual hard copy bible that has obviously been studied, and the older jw man, well, he was using a tablet.
it seemed cumbersome compared to using the actual bible.
Aren't they afraid to get robbed? Walking around with the latest iPad ?

Don't worry, I am around 50 now and have been drinking a liter of wine a day for the last 30 years, with a Cognac or rum ( missionary-service, there was no cognac), after dinner.
Everything ok, thinking, no viagra etc. My parents the same and are deep into their eighties.
