BOE-Body of Elders
PO-President Overseer (of a congregation)
CO-Circuit Overseer (nothing to do with electronics)
CA-Circuit Assembly
But most of these are not 'official', is just the way we refer to them on the forum.
i was wondering if anyone can tell me or point to me to old posts and web sites that explain the structure of a jw congregation, all the acronyms used and how meetings are arranged.
gb - governing body.
ms - ministerial servant (i have no idea was this means or what this person does).

i have a question for the regulars on this site which are mainly ex-jws and atheist.
my first question is just for the atheist.
why do you guys spend so much time discussing and researching a book you believe to be fiction?
I'm guessing English is not the person's first language... just to be fair... having said that, I do think they are self-righteous and closed-minded...
For many of us, English is not our first language. I doubt that's the case for BlueAss. His/her posts read more like the product of being a dumb-ass.
Even if English was his second language, that's no excuse for murdering it.

I just calls 'em like I sees them.
since i noticed you seem to take particular offense at atheism or anything that contradicts a literal interpretation of the bible, could you explain to me your view of noah's flood?.
.
because that's the fable that made me stop believing in the god of the bible..
I don't want to hijack this thread, but I agree with Mastodon. Blue Ass has made his presence on this board known by disparaging and insulting all users of this forum, without any valid basis. Since Blue Ass showed a lack of respect for all of us, I don't believe this troll is worthy of any respect and he/she/it should not be given the "honor" of having threads directed to him/her/it.
Down down to hell and say I sent thee thither!

PLEASE PLEASE, don't turn BlueAss into the new Reniaa... don't start opening thread after thread for a troll.

is BlueAss Renaii/Spike in disguise?
That was my first thought when I read the drivel in the original post. I doubt it.

BlueAss: Many here have already answered your original post. And for the most part I agree. You, in true troll mode, only choose to respond to certain posts and ignore all the others that have torn your O.P. to shreds. It is obvious that on this forum, like EVERY OTHER, there is some misinformation and plain ol' b.s. claims and accusations. Granted. On the flipside, there are people on here that know the Bible 10 times better than you can ever hope to know it. Same goes for the WTS and it's history of falacies. At the end of the day, why the hell do you even care? After all, you are a troll AND an ignorant piece of shit.
Plain and simple.
If you don't like the site (after TWO effing years of lurking), then look to the top right of this page and notice a little thingy that says 'Logout'... now click on it...
here is a goodbye thread for people who have decided to move on and leave jwn.
posting a message for everyone or just some..
Badbye Reniaa. Hope you can turn your brain on before the rest of your life goes by and you realize how you've been duped.
after leaving jws i have found myself increasingly impatient with religion and just how stupid some things are that people believe.
i understand not all of you on here are atheists, but i wanted to point out my new blog.
in my blog i am a believer that the spaghetti monster exists and base my writings as such.
Although I respect the FSM and fear the PPE... I currently worship and serve Trogdor The Burninator!
He'll roast yer meatballz!
i've seen this come up on multiple threads.
rather than derail them all, i'd like to talk about it here.. jws seem to feel that it is a form of persecution for anyone to question, doubt or speak negatively of their beliefs or organization.
yet, they are taught to do this to other religions.
I will never understand the notion that berating religion or faith should be off-limits. I don't respect beliefs or faith, I respect facts.
