  just curious if anyone out there has done or knows of an extensive biography of fred franz.

  since he was such a pivotal person in the wtbts it would be interesting.

  i know that the bible students are writing a biography of charles t. russell and alan f has said that someone is writing a bio of j.f.

  Announcing that Elders are no longer Elders

  by Spudinator in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the past year or so a local congregation has had several announcements that "so-and-so is no longer serving as an elder.".

  one of these elders has served in the watchtower organization since the 1940's.

  one thing apparent is the "organization's" lack of recognition and/or appreciation for its own.

  Are there any young folks who are sincere JWs?

  by Spudinator in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm closer to middle-age so that is why the question is posed; so those that are younger or really know some younger jws very well can give an older codger some insight.. i hear a lot of grumbling among those of my generation that the new kids just don't seem to get it.

  ("it" being the "truth.

  ") is this really the case for the vast majority?
