by oppostate inwhile mike pence the vice president-elect is a hardcore conservative christian with a history of anti-lgbt-related controversies, mike pence the software developer appears to be the exact opposite.
he described himself to nymag as a “liberal, atheist, ex-jehovah’s witness computer programmer,” and “not a bigoted shill for the republican party.”.
meet mike pence’s namesake: ‘other’ mike pence has no love lost for vp-elect.

The WT says that it's all to do with the leaves.....
Watchtower 15 September 1950, page 335
Questions From Readers: "How could Jesus justly condemn and cause to wither the fig tree that had no fruit on it, in view of the fact that it was not the season for figs?"
Watchtower 1 February 1972, pages 95 and 96
Questions From Readers: "Since it was not the season for figs, why did Jesus curse a fig tree that had no fruit on it, as reported at Mark 11:13, 14?"
The WT has also discussed it in more recent publications, but all as per the above QFRs

I believe that the only information the article provided regarding the actual event was:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/dupuis-memorial-jehovahs-witness-1.3857367
The event will take place at 4 p.m. on Dec. 3 at the Eggspress restaurant at 8028 Marcel-Villeneuve Avenue.
I took the time to expand on that - adding the actual day of the week for example - oh, and the actual full address of the venue including the zip/post code, useful for popping into your favourite online/cell phone map to work out how far away it is - sure not much, but I thought the event was important enough to take that little extra bit of time, after all, anything that helps people attend, or decide if they can attend....
But, yeah, why bother adding that information?
I have learned over the years from media reps that it's so much better if part of the article is posted with a link and readers then go to the news organization responsible for the information so they, the media organization, finds out how many people read the article. If there's lots of interest in the subject, more articles will follow.
OK, sure, fully understand your thought principle here, a kind of 'clicks-before-facts' adage - I can run with that.

"...I'm Geoff 'Postate,
What's interesting is the time period comparisions with Ray Franz.
Ray Franz joined the GB in 1971 and left in 1980 - after nine years at which point he was neither amongest the newest to be appointed (a whole bunch were appointed in both 1974 and 1977) and neither amongst the longest serving - he was 'in-the-middle' in terms of length of time on GB.
Now fast forward to today....
Geoffrey Jackson, having been appointed in 2005 is likewise 'in-the-middle' having been on the GB for 11 years, he is neither amongst the longest or shortest serving GB member. He hasn't been on the GB for too long, but long enough...

Hi Listener
In Oct. 2016 a morning worship video was uploaded onto JW org tv titled "a word spoken at the right time" and presented by Geoffrey Jackson.
Which is very interesting because that was the Day's Text - from FIVE MONTHS ago....

A word spoken at the right time—how good it is!—Prov. 15:23.Which means that Iamallcool, DesirousOfChange and berrygerry's theory may still hold water...

Anyone else hear of this?
by Tahoe ina jw family member informed me they are filling out an application to preach the truth in israel.
interested ones in the congregation were asked to start saving now, as the cost of the flights would be their own responsibility.
the time frame for this preaching work is for a couple of weeks in may/june 2017. the applications are to be turned in this sunday.

They had a similar campaign recently.
Yes, and it was over-subscribed then - too many wanted to go! So it's obviously a popular choice....
