  kelle lee jarka has already been convicted of murdering his wife, isabelle, but the murrieta man will make his case to a national audience as part of a 20-20 segment scheduled to air friday.. the abc news program will air at 10 p.m.. its a very intriguing story, said jeffrey diamond, lead producer for the segment, in a telephone interview wednesday.. diamond said 20-20 officials had been following the case for more than a year and decided that the circumstances warranted a closer look, given that there was no physical evidence linking jarka to the killing, although there were mounds and mounds of circumstantial evidence.. it was one of those rare instances where someone was convicted of this type of crime and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, and the case was almost inclusively circumstantial evidence, he said.. on a preview video posted on the shows web site, jarka can be seen on a video with his wife, both smiling as they celebrate a special occasion shortly after they were married nearly 20 years ago.

  Have any of you ever seen the Branch Organization manual?

  by BonaFide in

  i saw it and read through it at the bethel family library in my assigment in latin america.. it's in english.

  it's blue, in a three-ring binder with the wt logo on it and the numbering of the pages is hyphenated, like chapter 3-21, so they add more pages occasionally and update.. it has everything in there that a branch needs basically, like how circuits and districts are organized, how the branch is organized, how correspondence with new york should be handled.. one thing i remember is that it says circuit overseers should be a minimum of 25 years old before the branch recommends them to the governing body.

  (elders and servants are appointed by the local branch) the book said something like, "youthful enthusiasm and energy are not the primary qualities a branch should look for in a brother.

  14 Minutes and you are not a Servant of Jehovah

  by JT in

  last night we were discussing the "new light" that was revealed to the gb recently from jehovah.

  many of us recall all the co talks and elder parts based on the bible text of how a true servant of jah would not be "inactive or irregular" for years one was required to have at least one hour to be considered a servant of jah.. as the sec in my hall i recall so many times calling up friends to get thier time and hearing them break crying cause they didn't have 60min only about 45min- and they knew that it meant they were not servants of jah.

  now with the new light from jw a person with only 14 minutes of time will now be disqualified as being a servant of jah.. it is amazing how many jw will view this arrangement as a "loving provision from jah" instead of realizing that thier service to thier god has been reduced to whether they get 15min or 14 min.

  Traitors and heroes.

  the whitewashed history of the watchtower society in nazi germany.. the man who became leader of the german branch of the watchtower society after the war is without exception portrayed as a beacon of virtue and faith, standing fearless against the nazis:.

  *** w89 5/1 12 jehovah has sustained me as a friend ***.

  many of the loyal ones, among them erich frost and konrad franke, who suffered much for the lords sake and later became branch overseers in germany, returned alive from the fiery furnace of persecution.. .
