There we go again!
We gloat here that "most" witnesses are "window washers" and in other "lowly" professions; we moan about "not going to college".
Then a witness who beats the "ordinary" comes along - and we moan.
We never get satisfied.
Sad.

CO Disfellowshipped in UK
by konceptual99 inso, i have it on very good authority that a co has recently been disfellowshipped in the uk.
he has just finished serving the north west london area.
i don't know any details but perhaps there is someone who does know what happened.

What, if it turned out, that he's got "brain cells" (in contrast with the claims of some erudite posters)? Banish the thought!
Could it have been something more exulting than getting into some woman's pants?
And what if he actually did get into some woman's pants? Would that not make him a mere human with a mortal bend?
The more I read this board, the more I believe many here fool themselves about moving to a higher course after leaving the WT. Truth is, they never left the rumour-mongering and condemn-before-you-know attitude behind.
And to imagine that we have here a collection of the "cream"!

Got the contract
by LouBelle innow i just have to sign on the dotted line and drop it off and i shall once again be in the permanent job field.
i won't be earning a huge amount by any means but it is enough to cover my bills and to save a little bit.
this does give me that relief of finances coming in, of course i'll be keeping my ears and eyes open for better opportunities, but that being said i shall embrace this new opportunity with open arms and eagerness.. it's been a hellofa tough year people - hellofa tough.

As a witness, I never remotely considered that I was shielded by God from unforeseen events. Nor did I - for that matter - put my life unnecessarily in danger to preach. It might be a question of locality: belief in supernatural protection varies from one point of the earth to another.
I do know that in the publications, Jesus was repeatedly given as an example of not "tempting" God when he refused to jump to his death during Satan's temptation.
All said, this was a terrible - and probably avoidable - tragedy.

And you really believe treating this with levity is right!
Even if you believe those poor fellows were misguided by your standards, did they deserve to be kidnapped and some beheaded?
To what extent would some push their callousness, even in the face of such tragic events?

Looking After Widows and Orphans... and Spending One's "Riches"
by AGuest into the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!.
from time to time the issue of how to fulfill the "form of worship that is acceptable to god," mentioned by james in his letter, namely, looking after widows and orphans "in their tribulation"... comes up.
given the issue of tithing, the plethora of institutionalized charity choices, and the existence of ones in need, perhaps in our own households and families... but certainly in our towns, countries... and around the world... how does one fulfill this requirement?

Shelby,
I commend you for all the hard work in here; it's a most daunting task. Please keep on posting. You may well be one of the very few reasons some people keep reading this board, notwithstanding its having been practically hijacked by intolerant atheists (not to paint all atheists the same way).
I see your posts as a ray of light in an increasingly dark place.
