The great coco nutty monkey adventure...you have to read this it's uncanny
by HappyGuy inokay, last night my wife is still on the road trying to get home, and she calls me and asks me to go to the store and buy her nephew a "coco nutty monkey" playdoh toy.
i have no idea what that is.
so, i go to toyz 'r us and i find it.. then i go next door to a clothing store to buy my wife a gift.. as i am coming out of the store a couple (black gangbanger types) are coming out of the store at the same time.

How "worldly" people REALLY view Jehovah's Witnesses
by HappyGuy inwhen you are a jw it is pounded into your head that the "world" hates you, wants to kill you, runs around saying all kinds of horrible things about you, and would take away all your rights, freedom of religion, etc, if it could.. when i first left the wtbts organization i told "worldly" friends and family about being a jehovah's witness.
not one of them said anything disrespectful, rude, insulting, or even unkind in any way.
i could just as well have said "i'm a baptist", or "i like comic books".. a few people who know that the wtbts is a cult were concerned over my emotional health, but that was out of a sense of friendship.. i have never met anyone who on hearing the phrase "jehovah's witness" got upset or said "those xxxxx".

JW child forgotten and left behind at assembly when family goes home
by HappyGuy ini was a precocious child.
i started studying in april of 1973, i was 15, and was determined to be baptized at the international assembly in atlanta in july of 1973. my parents were opposed so i hitchhiked from beaufort sc to atlanta, a trip of about 6 hours.. as i was leaving on the last day to go hitchhike back to beaufort, i saw a 10 year old boy crying.
i asked him what was wrong and he said "my family forgot me and left without me".

not sure how william salter was exactly.
someone high up in the organization at some point.. i didn't go looking for this, i was rooting around on doc bob's site looking or the baptism questions and i stumbled across this letter that salter wrote to rutherford.. he just comes right out and calls rutherford a liar.

Do the "top" men in the WTBTS go in field service?
by HappyGuy ini read in a letter from walter salter to j. f. rutherford that salter states that rutherford does not go in field service and salter admonishes rutherford to start going in field service so that he will "know what you are talking about".. i found this a bit surprising.
so, i want to ask anyone who knows the inner workings at the hqs.
do the top men go in field service?
