So who knows/knew William Malenfant?

Juan V2 on the RBCs

he was responding to my request for more info on how the reported disbanding of the rbcs fits into this overall plan the gb has in mind to reshape the org.. surprisingly, i've been fortunate to meet many former jws who were very active volunteers for the rbc new builds.

Health care law & JWs
by L3G inin the usa the affordable care act/obamacare has kicked in and as of the end of this month, those without paying for health care coverage thru an insurance company, unless they're somehow exempt, will have to pay an increasingly steep annual fine for not buying into the system.. so how will this affect those jws in full-time service?
is the org paying the premiums of bethelites, traveling overseers, spec.
pioneers, etc.?

Another revised Bible change
by L3G inas we continue to use the revised nwt, we will no doubt find more and more changes worth noting.
several others have posted how some of freddie franz's idiosyncrasies have been removed (like 'anyone urinating against a wall' and the ever-present 'proceeded to go' instead of just 'went').
here's another: gone are the places in the proverbs where the hebrew literally says 'the innermost parts of the belly' for conveying the supposed delight of juicy morsels of gossip.
