My mother had this arrangement. What it actually accomplished was isolating her from the Cong. As she was 89 she didn't drive at night. She also had macular degeneration. She would study all week for the meetings. This arrangement released the cong from the responsibility of seeing her, calling her, etc. When she died she felt very forsaken by them. She only served the borg for 59 years. I hate them.

Yeah, that's been the thought for a long time. There is the "little flock" annointed and then the "great crowd". The "great crowd holds on to the skirt of the Jew. Whatever. Wasted a lot of time.

i was a little early and decided to say hello and make a new friend a couple of weeks ago.

The borg has such deep pockets. I find it interesting there is a woman as an attorney. She must be pretty good. (Does she wear slacks to Court?) If Australia is like the US there are probably dozens if not hundreds of cases to prioritize. That would slow things down in itself.I hope things turn out well but if not the ice is cracking. There is no difference between the borg and the catholic church. Thank you Steven!

I read somewhere that the family was embarassed by Mrs Eisenhower's standing on corners with the magazines. It would be interesting to see if he referenced his mother in any way in his writings and what ever happened to everyone in that family. Any JWs left?

Did I read somewhere here that the Gov B members are paid $100.000.00/yr? If so where is that prooved or written? It kills me that if that is so they booted Franz out with no skills and a literal lifetime of service with $10,000.00. What a bunch of greedy as.h..es.

I stopped at a coffee shop yesterday and coming out was a pod of jws in the service. I hadknown several of them. The gal driving is the daughter of a jw who was a very close friend of mine who lives out of the area now. She seemed very glad to see me and we spoke for a while. It happpens the circuit overseer is in the big Tahoe for that day. She told me that they had a new Kingdm Hall and invited me to the talk sunday. I told her to tell her mom that I loved her. We parted. I wonder if she got a lecture about talking to "inactive" ones. when I see those that I loved back in the day I still love the good things about them. I treat them well and with respect. I would not have any problem being in a discussion and I think that the higher position men have the more they must know what a sham it is. I'd love to talk with him....especially when he doesn't have an audience. Anyway, it's just kind of bitter sweet.

Women who have affairs...are they DUMB to think he will leave his wife?
by Witness 007 in"yes he does love me....it's just a bad time now with the kids and all...and money...he doesn't love her anymore, it just the kids....he said we can keep meeting at $40 hotels for "awhile" longer....till he sorts things out...and we can be together.".
this could be 1955 or 2011 and dumb girls still fall for this crap????
for real????

I am surprised that he can afford a 40.00 room. I'm sure things will go up from here, unless you end up in the back seat...cheaper yet! Can you imagine how much his kids will love you when the marriage ends?

OMG this makes me laugh because when my mom would badger my dad into going to the meetings he would time the prayers to see which one was the longest pray-er. It was Hysterical!!!

Does the society assign circuit overseers based on their personalities?
by hoser inthe reason i am asking is that lately i've noticed a trend.
we get a real good down to earth guy who is easy to work with and we get used to his way.
of doing things and then 3 years later we get a self righteous abusive a$$hole that thinks he is above all.
