Armando Montelongo from A&E's "Flip This House" -- Ex-Witness?
by Olin Moyles Ghost inif any of you have watched the a&e show called "flip this house," you have probably seen armando montelongo.
if you haven't, here's the cliffs notes version of the show: armando and his wife (and last season, his brother and his wife also) buy run-down houses in san antonio texas and "flip" them...hopefully for a profit.
hijinks ensue and the a&e network films it.

Anyone remember this former C.O.: Kevin Wright?
by Olin Moyles Ghost induring the early 2000s, kevin wright was the c.o.
for a circuit that included several of my friends.
i remember hearing my friends complain about what a tool this guy was--and these complainers weren't just "lowly" publishers--some of them were elders and pioneers.

Alternative Service Banned - Cite?
by Olin Moyles Ghost inas most of us know, alternative civilian service (e.g., working in a hospital) as a substitute for compulsory military service was banned by the society until 1996. my understanding is that this ban was instituted in the 1940s.
does anyone have a cite to a watchtower article or other publication that explains the basis for this position?
in my research, i have found several of wt articles and yearbook experiences that mention that jws consciences won't allow them to perform anything that is a "substitute" for military service.

has anyone on the board tried to challenge this rule?.
on its face, the rule is absurd.

Was Michael Jackson reproved in 1983 and DF/DA in 1989?
by Olin Moyles Ghost inthere seems to be quite a bit of conflicting information about michael jackson's jw status as a young man.
it's clear that he was raised a witness and that he was a practicing witness (a publisher) in the 1970s and early 1980s.
but there's some uncertainty about (1) whether he was baptized, and (2) whether and when he was df/da.. i was looking around on yahoo answers and found the following question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=aqerwd.lhqkco.59fnqahbrty6ix;_ylv=3?qid=20090628174024aafwsky&show=7.

2010 District Convention - Some Thoughts on the Sunday Afternoon Session
by Olin Moyles Ghost inout of a sense of morbid curiosity, i recently attended the sunday afternoon session of the district convention.
the session consisted of a drama and the infamous "remain in the secret place of the most high" talk.
overall, i got a sense that the wts is in damage control mode because the end hasn't come yet.

Former WT attorney Olin Moyle's papers at Princeton University
by Olin Moyles Ghost inolin r. moyle was an attorney for the watchtower society from 1935 to 1939. he left bethel in 1939 due to becoming disillusioned with "judge" rutherford's conduct.
a copy of moyle's resignation letter can be found here: http://www.watchtowerdocuments.com/downloads/1939%20olin%20moyles%20letter%20to%20rutherford.pdf.
the letter enraged rutherford, and he immediately dismissed moyle and his wife from bethel.

Witnesses "can't take the heat"
by Olin Moyles Ghost inhave you ever heard a witness say something like "why do apostates have to keep talking about the wts/jw faith?
why don't they just go on with their lives?
if they've found something better, why don't they just focus on that instead of us?
