do co's and do's have actual residences?
my understanding is that constantly travel so they wouldn't really have need of one, would they?.
what do do's do between district conventions?
I'm not sure whether this is global, but in the UK, District Overseers tend to live in a flat in a Circuit Assembly Hall, like in Bowes Road, Hellaby, Bristol or Dudley. Circuit Overseers generally live in a flat above a kingdom hall. They always try to build accommodation in at least one hall in every circuit.

this morning i told my wife about my decision to step down as a ms and that i also would'nt be attending any meetings.
she made a few comments that i expected her to make, but strangely enough she was for the most part very silent.
she made it clear that she was against the decision but outside of a few other comments she said very little.

You've given me butterflies quite a few times recently with your posts - so goodness knows how you must be feeling now. I'm glad your wife didn't take it too bad - I had visions of her going bananas.

and to think, i thought i was valuing my precious gift of life so much that i was willing to sumbit to a violent crime in order stay alive.
how twisted my thinking.
(((termite 35))) – thank you so much for your post – I don’t know what to say other than you’ve just made me so bloody angry about still being associated with such a cold-blooded organization – my guilt is growing more unbearable every day. You put it so well when you said:
you have to assess each situation YOURSELF
I can’t imagine in a million years how it must feel to be in that situation, so how can a bunch of old farts in Brooklyn have any comprehension about it?
How can you possibly have time to think “Oh, what will the Elder’s want me to do – how can I handle the situation without getting into trouble in the congregation? What is my scriptural responsibility here?”
Boll*cks to the Elders and Boll*cks to the WTS – you have to look after No1 and trust your instincts.
i have been reading the post and it seems like dateline is going to air something pretty important with child molestation and the watchtower.
everyone's pic has changed to the nbc sign and i want mine to change too- if it shows that i am supporting nbc while they uncover certain truths hidden by the wtbts.. i do know what dateline is- i just want more info.
love ya bunches,.
First stop - look at Bill's Site
Then this

but what is dateline.
i do know that its a tv program, but anyway how big and how many watchers.
is it a serious program?
I certainly will beroea - CNBC mess about with the schedules a lot and sometimes show dateline when other shows are supposed to be on - after the show has been broadcast in the states I will contact CNBC Europe to confirm whether the same show will be put out in Europe at the weekend - I'm sure that others will do this too. Watch this space. If they don't broadcast it I will change my icon back to what it was before!
i wonder how the average iq of most jw's would measure up to the average iq of non-witnesses?.
i think that they would rate less than most.
i say this because, having met up with a few still-witnesses recently, they just don't seem to be too prolific in the brain cell department.
Eman, to expand on what I said earlier, now I’ve had a think about it:
Someone who is unintelligent is someone who just does not have the capacity or the ability to expand his or her knowledge. This can include witnesses, but not necessarily.
However, someone who is stupid is someone who has that capacity and ability, but chooses not to use it. This definitely applies to the witnesses!
Proverbs 1:22
“How long will you inexperienced ones keep loving inexperience, and how long must you ridiculers desire for yourselves outright ridicule, and how long will you stupid ones keep hating knowledge?”

I think we might get ourselves in a bit of trouble here - I prefer to simply say that appearance is not an incitement or a deterrent to rape.
I don’t want to insult any elderly ladies by saying that they can’t possibly be sexy, so that must be proof that rape is not a crime of passion – …do you understand where I’m coming from here?!!
but what is dateline.

Yep, thats it Devon - I didn't really give beroea a proper answer - only a link on how to watch the show in Europe. I hope they show it on Saturday 1st June here, as it will be shown on the Tuesday before in the US - there is no guarantee though - I will have to check nearer the time.

Do you think I should get commission for giving CNBC so much publicity?
Here is your answer:

For the European people here:
Oops, in another thread I have just described CNBC as "a very boring channel, which is primarily for business people and stockbrokers."
But I did redeem myself by saying "on Saturday they do put some good stuff on, such as Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien (edited highlights only) and they do show Dateline"!
Let me repeat: CNBC is shown by all major cable companies, Telewest and NTL. Dateline is shown on Saturday Night at 12:00 midnight in the UK, 1:00 CET. For more details about CNBC click http://www.cnbceurope.com
