If one steps down from a presiding overseer or elder position, is it likely he would be a MS?

I'm sorry, that was more specific that I really wanted it to be. What position does one need to attain to give various levels of talks? What about other "privileges."

My son was an accident and I was miserable for the whole pregnancy. Once he was born I fell completely in love and we were okay. But I know how lucky I was and I don't recommend having a baby to see if it will all work out!

Do you ever get them at the door?
by MrsQ inok, i have been 'out' for about 9 years, now.
in all that time i have lived in 4 different states.
i have only had two visits from jw's during that time and both times they were from spanish congregations...the first time because my boyfriend at the time was mexican-american and someone told them we spoke spanish...the second time because my next door neighbors spoke spanish and they came to my place accidentally.. at any rate, both times as soon as they found out we spoke english, they scurried away and apologized for bothering us.

No one here since, probably 1993 or 4. There used to be a hall two blocks from here, but they sold that a long time ago.

This one is of grave personal import to me. Just when IS this special assembly day. If it is September 13 I am going to be very upset.

There was a post from someone with lots of quotes. Never having been a JW, or studied with one, I am often baffled by the sites. could someone translate these for me? An example: *** g99 4/8 p. 7 The Crisis Is Worldwide ***

Rutherford - Watchtower Rewriting History Again?
by Stephanus infrom an article in the july 8 awake!
by a "ken payne", entitled i tried to serve two masters:.
what interested me was phrasing of the footnote - that instead of being autocratic president of the tower, judge joe merely "took the lead"!

It is my understanding (how's that for wiggle--can't remember where the heck I got this) that there has indeed been a decided downplaying on the role of Rutherford, or any president, as head of the organization. I also don't think it is new. I remember something, I think probably on JWD, talking about articles denying that JWs ever saw Rutherford as anything special. Then there were a bunch of articles/pictures identifying Rutherford as "our chief" and terms like that.
