Did You Know Many Dumb Elders?
by minimus ini did.. there were some pretty sharp guys but there were a lot of not so bright ones.
the worst elders were the ones that thought they were very intelligent but really were stupid.. one elder that fits that description was a man that loved to speculate on prophecies, watchtower wording, someone's facial expressions or mannerisms.
he truly believed he was more enlightened than anyone else.

Do witnesses visit loved ones grave sites?

For the old timers
by ShirleyW inway, way back in 1962, when i was four years old and my family relocated from harlem to queens, ny, our tuesday night book study, as it used to be called way back when almost universally in jw land, was conducted by a woman !!
please don't think i don't remember correctly because of my young age at the time, but the sis.
who conducted it is still alive, and i practically know her whole family.

illegal cable
by ShirleyW inhave any of you (especially those familiar with the jw's in the jamaica, queens congs in nyc) heard of the dubs subscribing to illegal cable.
about ten or so years ago there was a big scam in the queens area with a couple of elders who ran a bogus insurance scam, some were df'd, was even mentioned here on the board, around that time a sister who is a hairdresser/teacher told me that she and her family had illegal hbo, why she pointed out that it was illegal i'll never know, but was just wondering did some " smart, insightful follower of jehovah" figure out a way for the christian bros and sis to get pay channels without paying?
i know for a fact that this family has been caught up with because they can no longer subscribe to hbo even if they wanted to (legitimally) through time warner, unless they were given a certain amount of years and the time has run out.. another thing that gets my goat with this christian family is that as mentioned above the wife is a special ed teacher, doesn't that take a certain amount of years of college?

Free Loader in the KH
by thepackage ineach cong.
those witnesses that are lazy, go from job to job, and just becasue the are "zealous" for the truth they expect help from other.
i remeber one elder (married with one child) expected people to give him and his wife gas monie to go out on service.

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.
