The Sun's article doesn't say...the article mentioned that he has contacted family members time to time...maybe there are some indication that he is up here...bringing it back in the news could help find his whereabouts...

by NVR2L8 ininstead of going to the special talk i went out for breakfast and on page 3 of the toronto sun there was an article with several photo's of one of the top 15 most wanted man on the us marshall list...frederick maclean...the article said he used his position as a ministerial servant of the jw to lure and abuse several young girls, one more than 100 times.
it is said that he left the us with some $400,000 after selling all his assets including a car-restoring business and sharing the proceeds with his now ex-wife.

I wonder how many JW will actually read this news item...and realize that this pervert could very well be in their midst...

Do COs have a cushy life?
by A question indo cos (and dos) have a cushy life in comparison with other jws, or others in fulltime service?.
it could be said that they do, since they have an apartment provided for them, meals out, green handshakes, and invites to social gatherings.
it could also be said that they do not, since they may have to live in a different house every week, accept whatever food they're given, and they have a lot more meetings than the average jw.. .

I agree with Dozy...my dad's best friend was a lifetime full-time servant, CO and DO and now in his mid-80's he has nothing for himself. As he was too old to keep up the pace, the society gave him a Public Relation job and he serves as an elder in a local congregation. His younger second wife always had health problems while her husband was involved in different training schools. They do it out of loyalty to God.
In my district the DO had a stroke and later died...there was a collection to assist them because they had nothing after they left their assignment...he later passed away and local witnesses had to support his wife because the rich WT does not assist them...even those who gave up everything for them.

I remember being on a business trip in Quebec City and I went to the KHall for the Memorial and on my way there it started snowing very heavily...when I came out of the KHall there were snow drifts half way up my car door...it was very difficult leaving the parking lot or even driving on the highway...I almost didn't make it back to the Hotel...but I was present at the Memorial and was able to relate my experience and show how determined I was to obey the WT's instructions...And how could one consider cancelling the Memorial when brothers in concentration camps risked their lives to acquire the emblems and celebrate...

How did/does your congregation view going out to eat AFTER the Memorial?
by OneDayillBeFree infor us it used to be a big no-no, but i think it has slowly grown more acceptable since many of our elders would be starving during the whole reject jesus party.... i always thought it was a bit funny when i saw brothers and sisters almost celebrating with a big feast and drinks on the night that the good ol' messiah sacrificed himself for all humankind!
it seems now more recently that since it is the only thing witnessess can celebrate, they go all out!
maybe i'll join in the festivities too.. so what about you guys?

A few years back an elder, his wife, my wife and I drank the wine used for the celebration...it was a good bottle but one glass had to be discarded because a "weirdo" we had never seen at the KHall decided to partake...I guess he is one of these "emotionally disturbed" partakers of late. I didn't have any feelings regarding this wine, but the other couple was kind of making a big deal out of this. I guess they had bought the bottle and were anticipating tasting it. Cheese and crackers accompanied the wine...

Your parents will only approve if she becomes a JW, so her attending the Memorial may give them a faint hope that she has some interest in the "truth"...Maybe they will expect her to come to the special talk...to study...What if she falls for the love-bombing? Have you thought of that?

CoCo,
When I was a teenager I used to hang around with some kids from the neighbourhood and we all owned motorcycles...the most popular was the Kawasaki 350, while mine was a Honda CB350 - 1972....On some afternoons we would meet up a one of the guy's home and the boys would all smoke pot - except for me because I was a good JW boy - and we would listen to the whole Dark Side Of The Moon Pink Floyd album...I guess some of that second hand smoke made me a little mellow, while all of my buddies would lie on the living room carpet soaking it all...One day the boy's mother came home early and she kicked us out of her house...in those days 18 year old boys still feared their parents! That was the end of our Pink Floyd experience in that house anyways....

Emblem stupidity, and the bizarre dance of the confused memorial-taker
by cedars inwell, i went along to the memorial with mrs cedars.
it was my first since my "awakening" just less than a year ago.
apparently i made a lot of people happy by being there (even if it was only building up false hopes), the most important of which were my family.

Cedars,
My wife mentioned the Memorial for the first time today...but she did not dare to ask if I was going....I acted surprised and told her that the Jewish passover was tomorrow...so my son said "well the days started after sundown...", so I replied that I meant Friday after sundown...I should know since I there is a Jewish girl at work who strickly observes jewish celebrations...So I told my wife that Jesus would have ate passover tomorrow night and not tonight...Her reply was "well Memorial is tonight!" I hope she and my son think about it when the speaker says that Jesus ate his last passover this very same night so many years ago...JW "scholars" must know better about jewish holidays than the jews themselves...

I remember that those who passed the emblems had to arrive earlier so they could rehearse the process passing the wine and the bread to each other....so after having passed the emblems to the audience, the wine glasses and dishes were placed back on the table set on the platform, then the speaker would pick up the emblem and hand it off to the first server sitting in the front row, then he would rush to the end of the row and sit waiting to receive the emblem...Like in NFL football, a poor hand-off resulted in confusion and a failed play to the amusement of some of us...

On another note I was thinking: How would have Jesus reacted if some of his disciples would have passed on the offer of wine and bread thinking that they were not worthy or that would snob his offer? Or can you image Jesus saying to some who attended that they were not invited to partake of the emblems, that they are not invited to be part of the kingdom?
