during the many years of being a jw, i could never really bring myself to be exited about the co's visit.
this has been an issue that always kept me wondering back to religions.
why could not feel the same happiness that made everyone around me cry during the sunday service?
I always hated the CO visit. Those extra meetings were a real downer. I have been around long enough to remember all the additional meetings. The one I always hated was the talk after the WT study. Do they still have that? I still remember a few very insulting COs who discounted the efforts of the publishers.
As an elder, I hated the feeling that we were under inspection.
So, I miss none of it.
after almost 24 years in the school and doing it since i was nine years old, i officially resigned.
it has become increasingly difficult to prepare talks, especially with the new format for brothers.
i did not mind doing them; i actually put the time and effort into getting them out.
Brothers on the school can now be given assignments with assistants, just like the sisters.
Wow, do they have to wear a dress?

Sir82 "You graduated!"
We all know you never graduate. It is like the Hotel California. You can check in but you can never check out.

and here's how judah looks as seen in a recent video - especially posted for those who knew judah over the years.
closet factory testimonial from judah schroeder.
Judah is listed as a board member for Jah-Jireh Homes of America in 2012, although his name is missing on the IRS 990 report for 2013. You can get a copy of the full report from Guidestar.org.
richard ashe a full-time special servant of the order of jehovah's witnesses testified in the lopez case that every single disfellowshipping and disassociation and other things have all been scanned in 2011 and are and will be on permanent record with jw's forever.
is this legal?
another completely ironic and warped thing is the disfellowshipping form is called the s77 form.
The congregation you last attended is supposed to keep your card and the CO looks at them.
The last congregation I attended was Brooklyn Heights at HQ. I doubt they thought enough of me to know who I was - I think you can forget a paper trail. It was hard to even make eye contact with those people. That was the strangest congregation - ever.

Do they track faders? And if they do - I am not sure what effect it has on me or any other fader. In regards to keeping a file, they have too high a regard for their tracking system.
Unless they team up with Homeland Security, having a name means nothing. Just type in your personal name into Google and you will see how meaningless having a name is.
divining liability.
kimberlee norris began evaluating these cases in july 2002. with some 2000 cases to choose from, norris and partner gregory love came up with a rigid profile of what kind of case and where.
love and norris decided only to take cases where they could prove the church knew its member was a perpetrator and placed him in a position of authority anyway.
Lawyers are look at pending cases from the perspective of a rainmaker. I understand and respect their strategy of focusing on what are manageable cases. It is their money and resources and it is not an altruistic endeavor - It is all about the money. I say that with respect an honor.
God bless their efforts, may their efforts open the floodgates so that all the cases get a fair hearing.
to all those who frequent this discussion board:.
