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????

Can a J-Dub conduct a Bible study without a WTS publication?
by Latin assassin from Manhattan inif j-dubs claim to be the authority on bible literacy and teaching, then why can't they conduct a bible study or preach without a wts publication?
if i claimed to be an authority on shakespeare during a conversation with a friend, would i pull out a book written by someone else that explained it?
how does that prove that i understand shakespeares work?

Had a few studies in the Bible only, but CO's always pushed to get into the publications as soon as possible. Never had much success.

When I was at the house in the 80's we discussed many uses for microwave links for televising Bethel events to each facility. At the time the idea of using "television" to any great extent other than 'morning worship' was ghastly to them. We of course were just lowly techies who really didn't have a clue about such things. But now millions have been spent on that super fancy audio/video facility at Patterson and more coming.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses have love amongst themselves..
by Brummie inthey certainly do, and this is forever being thrown in my face.
however, when jesus said his desciples would have love amongst themselves, surely he didnt mean it would just be amongst themselves?
surely it would expand further than that?

Times have changed among the dubs for the worse. Elders are supposed to be a hiding place frome the wind, yet most elders lack the social skills to encourage a flee much less a real live human. "The society" complains about social gatherings at the drop of a hat yet there is supposed to be a world wide brotherhood.
I was one of those elders that made time to be available for whatever nedd arose, yet found out that when I needed a boost no one had time for me. So I gave it the heave ho. Now I lurk around and that's about it. Fading, fading, fadin, fadi, fad, fa, f ......
