    Is your friend baptized? I could be wrong, but I thought the locution "A matter concerning ... has been dealt with" was reserved for unbaptized publishers? Or is that the new formula for reproof?

    He's Baptized. I think they do that to let the cong. know he's been dealt with- but nothing juicy enough to publiccly reproove him...

    (And the elder's in my cong. don't really play by the book... Any of the books... )

    Richie,

    I bet you know more about WT rules for the congregation than these elders do.

    I was in a congregation in Virginia I won't say where where they just started rotating "Presiding Overseers"

    We got one elder who was the PO and he would alway forget to schedual the Service meeting parts it was halerious they would alway be having differnet elders get up and saying well I guess I'll have to do it then.

    I have more knowledge of the society now then I did when I actually cared!

    I've read the Pay Attention- and sometimes want to quote it to the elders...

    I know all the GB members, and their birthdays and wives names...

    lol

    Snuff...

    I threw up when I tried it. Still gag when I smell it. Smoking is so much more civilized.

    I'd rather die of being fat though...

    I'll take my chances at golden corral...

    If I was single and saw a brother at the assembly with I'm Single on his badge. I would have given him my digits. Because I love a man with a sense of humour.
