  It's my impression that a fair number of rank-and-file JWs are much more tolerant on this issue than the company line calls for; there also seems to be a sort of unspoken acceptance of celibate JWs among them.

  Thanks, Blondie; I also note that in Paragraph 17 that working on WT-sanctioned construction projects is put in the same exalted category as pioneering.

  regarding the "stand your ground" law, bill maher joked that if the law was on the books in his state (california, i believe), his front lawn would be littered with jehovah's witnesses.

  just felt like sharing.

  "If a Catholic or a Baptist did it would people be asking?" Earth To Dear Brother Pain (sic.): The people calling the branch are finger-pointing dubbies; the general public could care less. Anyway, how does one puny human's misbehavior in any way dimninish the stature of -- or, as you say "bring reproach" -- on the Omnipotent Creator Of All That Exists?

  ...Urging the friends to work in pairs -- as a general practice -- seems to me a significant departure from the WT push for productivity. There are hard-line JWs I know, usually old timers, who regard pairing up as a cowardly cop-out from facing up to the worldies one-to-on-one.
