    Growing up as JW it was constantly drummed into us that we're not like churches having different classes (e.g. Preists). However it is quite apparent that there are ranks within the Jehovah's Witnesses.

    This is the list I have so far. I'm sure some are missing, can you help fill in the blanks:

    Return Visit

    Interested

    Bible Study

    Unbaptized Publisher

    Great Crowd

    Publisher

    • Inactive
    • Actitive
    • Poineer
    • Auxillary Pioneer
    • Regular Pioneer
    • Special Pioneer

    Ministerial Servant (Male Only)

    Elder (Male Only)

    Circuit Overseer (Male Only)

    District Overseer (Male Only)

    Anointed

  • hoser

    gilead graduate

    ministerial training school grad

    bethelite

    RBC member

    disfellowshipped

    need greaters

    all kinds of labels in the Borg

    'Approved associate' should slot in there somewhere. This is a person who has shown sufficient progress to be viewed as good association, but isn't yet baptised.

    0 .5. Person you meet in a parking lot who gives you his or her address, so you can visit them with a car load of friends.

    0-.6 person you meet, turns out to be a prank or false address but someone opens the door. Oppertunity?

    1. Householder

    2. Potential Call

    3. Call/ Return Visit.

    4. Return Visit with a potential for "door step" Bible study.

    5. Return Visit who now allows for a "door step" Bible Study, when the JW or the RV keeps his appointment.

    6. Regular "door step" Bible study, student now opens the door on a regular basis.

    7. Bible Study that allows the JW to enter his or her home/ if not, you study out in front of their house, near by park or in your car.

    We have barely scratched the surface with labels and definitons, and I probably have missed a few numbers in this subset.
