It makes sense. If you are happy, ok in your upper room, have friends..who even would listen to someone at your door in a suit trying to sell booklets.

19The Craziness of an Average Bible Study
by Number 6 inlast week i posted a thread asking about who knew any "real anointed" and got some cracking replies.. that got me to thinking, as someone brought up in the 70's and 80's in the watchtower religion, my experience of bible studeis in their homes and those who made it to the hall were mostly batshit crazy or at least people with some serious quirks.. i'll relate a few, none of whose names i remember with any clarity.. in our cong we had an older couple who were from london, but who had been in the 1950's in the circuit work in the mid west usa.
they brought along some woman one night they had started a study with who told everyone cheerfully she was a recovering alcoholic and this was her cure (coming to the meetings).
this went on for a few weeks until one night they brought her to the memorial and she was royally pissed, and i mean barely able to stand; and went up to the platform table and necked some wine.

What is the housing / accomodation living conditions of all of the Governing Body Members ? Does anybody know ?
by smiddy3 ini would be very curious to know what standard of living they have .
and what type of housing each member has and what type of accomadation do they have and even what type of areas they are living in .
unlike many of the rank & file members who live in housing estates provided for the low income earners and pensioners ?

I stayed once in John Bar’s room in Patterson. A humble cheaply furnished room. Forget the stories about wealth and private houses, Bentley’s, Rolex. Fairy tales.

Did You Know Any "Genuine"" Old School Anointed?
by Number 6 ingrowing up in scotland in the 1970s in scotland the anointed were few and far between, but we had one old dude in our cong who claimed to be one of the anointed.
in the days when it was taken seriously.. i'd be curious how you viewed them.
thing is, he wasn't an elder, or even a ministerial servant, just a plain old publisher.. but he was revered like he had a hotline to jesus.. the other week i was talking to a friend of similar age to me but who hung around the wt a lot longer than i did, and he just commented "oh him... he was a doddery old fool who used to just sit and piss himself.

We had brother Salvino Ferrari (second class if I remember well) and his lovely wife Helen sometimes in our missionary-home. He was a very sincere, humble, kind brother. Very interested in our life and I really loved at that time listening to his experiences in Cuba where they left in 1961. The last time we went together out in service, he could hardly walk in the extreme heat but went on until lunch.
It’s all so sad remembering those details.

@ Rubadub “ When you mentioned "in the world", I would rule out Europe (too cold for me) ”
Europe too cold? Ever been at Crete, Sevilla, Rome?
