fulano: "what were the assured financial benefits offered?
DO and CO: " you will never have financial problems again " This to a pioneer / special pioneer couple, living on 45.- a month. giving 100 / 150 hours to wt service, plus looking after a congregation, maintaining a car, me, declining and asking sarcastically to myself : what financial problems ?

first talk at circuit assembly : 1957 top rung refused to climb: circuit overseer. was offered, but refused, despite assured financial benefits: that fully engaged CO wt schedule lifestyle was too controlled for my freedom loving spirit that had seen the nazi and commi equivalent.
Now looking at those on this dead end organisational structure: the taller they stand, the harder they will fall.

when the high DG ladder rung they were standing on, was suddenly missing. ouch, ha ha. better have a parachute, or prepared cushy bed to fall down on. like a super cleaning company.
for example: Charland & Filteau
Crepeault arrogant? no, knowledgeable, he knows things you do not! after all he is an accountant. figures figure. smiling by the numbers. like the Mona Lisa.

"One of the biggest illusions of JWland is that their is a ladder when there is no ladder only the illusion of one"
like the district overseers found out, when the high rung they were standing on, was suddenly missing. ouch, ha ha. better have a parachute, or prepared cushy bed to fall down on. like a super cleaning company.
Saumur and Crepeault had something in common.
hi its been on the bbc website that in the uk they got 25% of the power that the whole country needed for friday just from solar power alone.
last year's flight of a solar powered plane around the world. stopover in beautiful Hawaii

to all you young and old alike what would you have as a farewell party from this earth , would you party with friends months before or would you go out quietly and rather have input into the wake.
i have heard of these duck hunters who put their ashes in shotgun shells.

No wt propaganda at my funeral, not having a glory seeking elder shine and, stealing the show. have seen celebrations of life in the neighborhood, live music, passing photos, viewing videos, having food, a drink. earth burial in an already ready casket. or?
in view of the terrorist attacks going on in the world right now, as well as the high degree of animosity towards jehovah's witnesses as a result of their shuning practices, etc., i think it would be wise for the wts to discontinue meeting for large conventions and use live streaming and broadcasts instead.
even with the increased security measures being put in place this year, it would not be surprising if some incidents take place.
has anyone heard any talk in this regard?.
wt/jw are quite safe from extremist attacks. how close is "theocratic order" actually to sharia law? may be they are searching for bull horns ? banners?
a thought occurred to me that simply because something is old does not make it valuable or worthy of sacred reverence.. the bible is held up as sacred just because it is "old" and apparently preserved.. but, that does not make sense.
if in thousands of years someone finds a notebook of my scribbles or sketches that i threw away, that doesn't elevate them to "valuable status" simply because they survived.
they were thrown away because they were worthless.. or if an archaeologist finds an ancient broken bit of pottery that was used for garbage disposal, it doesn't change its status from what it once was - a garbage bin.. i guess what i am trying to ask is, why is it that we as humans give value to writings just because they are old?.
Majestic language: " In the beginning God created heaven and Earth", preferably read with Bach organ playing in the background...... and wrong.
conditions are i want to see it in print..
at an assembly they said about the 1975 timeline: "we regret to have published that" . not an apology really, but someone, at another assembly said" what should we apologize for? the millions of extra hours, new brothers we have because of it?
If wt has real regrets, they will be still to come.
