I believe that the dubs seem to attract many who are prone to n euroses and gullable too. Oh and bring along any qet rich quick scheme, MLM program aka pyramid scheme, etc. and it spreads like wildfire. If it involves some health assistance scheme all the better. In our area the big thing was Noni juice to heal everythng that ails you. Have cnacer drink Noni, have a bad back drink Noni. Boy what a joke but at $35 a bottle and you need two a month it sure puts money in someone's pocket.

Having been on Zoloft for about two years or so I can tell you it made a world of difference it my outlook. I never would have believed it. I have recently started taking B-12 injections as a supplement to this. Some think that you can eventually abandon the psycotropic meds and just use regular doses of B-12 and mega B or other type B multiple. I do notice a change in my outlook after several months of this. Ask your physician.

Just another control of the WTS. Bethel elders are spoosed to be held to a higher standard, in other words are they good little Bethel groupies and follow all the rules of the House. Of course before you can be one everyone around you gives these secret reports on you. Your table head reports about your attendance at breakfast... be sure not to miss breakfast because this is morning worship... and where they tall all about the new rules of the week etc etc ad nauseum... The Society's CIA at it's best.

My best seat was always my senior dub office complete with sound and video, where the AC ran full blast, and had two junor-assistant dub attendants sitting outside in the hallway keeping people out. What fun, how sad.

Had a jerk sick his dog on me once. I carried a 1" steel bar in the bottom of my briefcase for just such events. I licked that mutt up-side the head a good one. He yelped and ran off to the woods. I walked back up to the door and told the jerk that if I ever heard of that happening again I would sick my attorney on him big time,and that for sure I had more money in my pocket than his red-necked ass earned in a year. Just for good measure I had my attorney write a nice letter informing him that I had elected not to sue him at this time but reserved the right to do so at any time during the period allowed by law.
Heard he hid evertime the dubs came to the door after that. Of course the other elders in the hall sure looked at me funny after that since dubs aren't supposed to act like that. To bad for them, it was fun.

Question about Governing Body
by figureheaduk ini remember flicking through my ex girlfriends copy of the "proclaimers" book back last year, and there was a page with the pictures of the gb at the time (roundabout 1992 with henschel, jaracz et al).
apart from noticing that the gb was totally comprised of males (well, with the wt's almost neanderthalitic view of women, you wouldnt expect a female contingent within the gb would you?
), i noticed that they all seemed to be white, and, judging by some of the names, probably american.

I heard of a rumor Gerrit Loesch wants to go back to Austria.
Instead of him, Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to take his place in the governing body
Does thus mean he can Terminator Jarascz????
