  .

  jws are always being reminded that you "could" stumble someone.

  you had to continuously question yourself about possibly offending another (weak) christian's conscience.....were you always worried that you were going to get into trouble because you might've screwed up somehow??.

  No one really wants to think of themselfs as self righteous. I think most of us would rather down play our judgementalness,and what "jerks" we were to others who didn't have the "tooth"

  the latest awake has, on its final inside page, a section called "for family review" that consists of questions.

  that witless families can ask their kids after they've read the magazine.

  this new feature follows questions.

  I think, for me the best defence was a good offense, that maybe deep down I knew it was all BS.

  at the 'big house' you go either one of two ways, company man or apostate.

  i think for many that went, it demystified the whole organization and you saw firsthand that there wasn't holy spirit influencing anything - only the muses of sheltered, out-of-touch old men and political bureaucrats.

  i work in the corporate world and i saw just as much if not more politics in bethel.

  We clashed with the Home overseers all the time.

  One night about 8:00 p.m. we get this knock on the door.

  Brother? Curtis Johnson { he looked like radar on "MASH} home overseer of the towers, came to our door.

  We invited him in for a drink! He got red in the face said "NO" He was here to talk to us about or room. " It was a disgraceful!

  We had, could you believe It?Of all things. A bull fighting poster on the wall!

  "If it offends you we would take it down"

  "Yes" He said "what if some tour would see it?"

  We said "I guess they would think we were normal like everyone else" ----------We never took it down.
