Did you ever clean parks as a JW?
by JimmyPage ini remember several brothers who did this and sometimes when they went out of town our family would do their route.
they would bid on public parks to clean and as you might guess the job involved picking up the trash and cleaning the bathrooms.
the pickup would get pretty smelly from all the trash bags in the bed and the day would end at the dump.

Was the policy change to equate DA to DF because of Ray?
by teel inas ray says in the last chapter of coc, before 1981 da was quite different from df.
"persons who resigned were not treated the same as those disfellowshiped", they were not shunned for example, except when the dad person enters into politics or military.. i put it on account of humbleness that ray says he doesn't think they changed the policy just to use it against him, he probably feels he wasn't so significant as to warrant such a far-reaching change.
but it seems way too convenient that the policy change came at that exact time, too much of a coincidence.
