i don't know if anyone has commented much on this.. there are a select few being invited to this meeting.. ours was at stanley theatre.. as far as i know older ones, pioneers, and selected worthy were invited.. even children were not allowed.

yes, but to some it could backfire on them..

the best bible scholars have been women in my realm of this religious world.

the women study their husbands watchtowers, prepare the parts, write their talks, put their ties on, get the shave cream out of their ears.

it must be hard and you must have the patiences of job, to be able to listen to, the many arrogant men and how you will (if you are a female annointed.

shown by men considered for elder or ms positions.

qualities or true positive character traits are not that important to the wt society in appointments of these men in jw congregations.. no, the real " qualifications " that a jw man needs to exhibit is being able to report 10 hours a month in knocking on people's doors offering wt and awake magazines !

in a long distance courtship, did you have any trouble getting a good "spiritual" reference?.
