I liked Gangas. He was always around, especially in the 124 lobby Sydlik on the other hand was not so well liked, he seems too aggresive and firm. I also liked knorr very much, whom I respect. and I liked ray who made morning worship intersting whom I also respect. When fred died, in my opinion the charisma that the gov bod had, came to an end . these guys now on the govbod cannot motivate with their personalities as the personalities of the finementhat I mentioned.

WHAT'S NEXT AFTER "REFINEMENT"?
by fearnotruth22 infor years the wts has been focusing on being more efficient, refinement, etc.
that is why many departments in the wts have merged, others eliminated.
the lates gossip from betthel a couple of years ago was that bethel was downsizing and many bethelite would be sned home and those leaving would not be repalced, also the sale of wt property, the printibg of literaure overseas normally done here and more prining done upsate ny would seem to indicate a move out of brooklyn, to patterson.

How did all the animals fit on Noah's Ark?
by hooberus in.
many skeptics assert that the bible must be wrong, because they claim that the ark could not possibly have carried all the different types of animals.

Thats and old question and the answer is cliche
You need to rephrase your question. Do you mean "How dd GOD get all of the animals into the ark?" ?And the answer would be similar to the one asking How did Jesus feed amultitude with only a few loaves.
I don't know. But what is relevant is did the events truly happen

During the Bobby Fisher era Bethelites were playing chess so much that the Society came up with some articles which discourages chess likening it to a game of war, soon thereafter bethel bros stopped p[layngchess and many bros stopped plaing it or cut down on it because of their"Christian trained concience"

by Sara Annie inin a minimus moment, i find myself interested in knowing which buzz-words and phrases in jw publications stand out the most to you?
when i read wt literature, i constantly find myself astounded by how transparently cultish the language is.

Were Most Of The Elders "On The Ball" In Your Congregation?
by minimus ini think most of the elders relied on the "smart ones" to help them out.
my experience was that there was probably 2 or 3 "sharp ones".
the rest were dopey!

dEpends on what part of the Usa you are in.. If you live near bethel. Bethel runs the cong, and bethelite elders runs the cong bethel's way which is the way the ball rolls. But not all elders re on the ball and neither do all elders appointed qualify for the role of elder, Some of these guys we recommend because the work has to be done especially field service overseer and bethel elders dont like work for the most part. Some elders really take their duties to heart, few to say the least, but for the most part this new breeed of eldersin this modern time deep in the time of the end lack compassion and miss the whole point, which is taking care of the needs of the cong, they are in it for themselves and for the positiion seems to me.
Dont know how things run in hicksville, but close to betthel, although some of these guys on the body dont cut it, there are othesr which are on the ball taking up the slack making things work. SAme pattern in most congs. The work gets done no matter what.

Else:
That reminds me of what a bro told me that was guarding he back of the hall during a meeting. He said that beggers came in to ask for money and he responded that the cong does not give money out, they take money in, but if he wanted a bIble sudy or spiritual food that could be arranged.

Whats going on? Has the door to door and street preaching declined in the USA? I don't see the bros out in service and I dont see that mags out there like before. Is it only my perception?
years ago before the termination of the subscrition on a staurday morning certain avenues where loaded with jws offring mags to everyone. I dont see that now, only sparsely visible a couple of sis or bros door to door or on the street.
It is rumored that THe wt is saving millions of dollars a year in shipping, but the lifesaving info contained in the WT and g mags is not getting into the hands of the people via postal mail.What is more important saving money or saving lives?
