Would the "Society" buy a house for an ex-CO?

    Eighty something Brother Emshoff (sp), now living in Las Vegas, has said that the "Society" has bought a house for him to live in. This doesn't sound like the "Society" that I've known for 20 years. Does anyone know if these tightwads would do something like this? My guess is that someone in his congregation is allowing him to stay in a house they bought. brzfst

    Good for him, he was CO for 40 years, well he deserves it, maybe they do not want bad publicity after they put him to the pastures.

    One of the brothers in my husbands family left the circuit work because of ill health.

    He was almost two thousand miles from home and they did not even offer him the gas money to get home.

    If I had to guess I'd say that maybe some rich, appreciate JW got them a place to live. The $ociety is cheaper than 2 Jews in a dollar store.

    Is that brother Dwayne Emshoff? He used to be a circuit servant in Cleveland for a time.

    I here he also has a brother. If it is Dwayne, he always seemed well taken care of.

    There was a Don Emshoff who was removed as a CO. He had a taste for young beautiful girls. If this is him, and the age sounds right, there is no way the Society would have purchased him a home.

    Maybe he knows something that they want kept quiet. I'd say he doesn't own it, it's just a real estate investment. Dude's only got a few years left, then they'll be able to sell it.

    restrangled...it is Don Emshoff and the last I heard was that he was in Las Vegas chasing showgirls (thought that was said as a joke though). He's in California now, and he told a friend that the "Society" bought him a house. jaguarbass...Dwayne might be a fleshly brother. brzfst
