He's not jealous, he just loves gossip and new 2x2 "news"! This is a gold mind for RJS/Shiloh. He will use this info to create at least 10-15 new threads over the next year.

Shouldn't this be on the Hatched, Matched and Dispatched Board?

Is it mandatory for them to become old maids or old geezers? How did you supposed he meant that? Perhaps he's just sharing the news. Congrats to the soon to be newlyweds!

...which could be driven by fear, anger, joy, or some other form of excitement.
You still haven't answered my question.
Why are you not assuming he was expressing joy?

How did you supposed he meant that? Perhaps he's just sharing the news. Congrats to the soon to be newlyweds! Since he ended the heading (or declaration) with an exclamation point it gives the impression or emphasis of one's surprise; whereas, if he had ended it with a period it would have been just a statement. His punctuation mark has two legitimate names: exclamation mark or exclamation point. It adds emphasis to a sentence, indicating emotional stress, which could be driven by fear, anger, joy, or some other form of excitement. In our writing, we should be careful not to deaden the effect of the exclamation point by overworking it. Right, shiloh? Right!

Is this the Kelli of the money in the MI debacle?

Is this the Kelli of the money in the MI debacle? Didn't Jerome bring one of those Workers from Kentucky with him (and the other came from FL where he was an Overseer very shortly before P Hunter's death returning him to KY)? Where's White Knight? Well, now, Ron has another opportunity to be a grandpappy since our days at Michigan State University. I'd heard the one went back to Fl. and started going to mtgs. again...but I don't remember which one that was but it seemed like it was the younger one, which is likely Kelli!

I wonder where Sharon J. is these days? She used to preach in Florida before coming to Michigan. I always like her.

I would like to hear of some current workers getting married.. and STAYING as preachers of the gospel.
Nothing wrong with this biblically. It didn't violate the early workers' doctrine, obviously. And there's some big practical advantages.
Consider:
- in homes where there's only one spare bedroom for worker visits, much healthier having a married couple sharing the one room/bed.
- essentially removes any suggestions or temptations towards homosexual behavior (nothing illegal about this but many would argue against such in the ministry).
- ditto CSA (definitely illegal & abhorrent).
- adds a practical marriage counseling string to those workers' bow.
- means the pair of workers can reach out more effectively towards all ages and both genders in their ministry.
I think married preachers would add significantly to the effectiveness of the 'work' of the F&W ministry today. Let's face it, any improvement would be welcome right now.

If I were terribly concerned about the possibility of workers engaging in some type of illicit sexual behavior in the middle of the night at my house, I guess I could build another spare bedroom, then lock them in their respective rooms from sundown to sunup! One of the reasons they go 2 x 2 is for "moral" support. That's why our church is better than yours! YUK! YUK! YUK! :>) OK, Guess I'd better go back to my room.

Marriage? OH NO! That might mean that workers are capable of romantic/love emotions and are more than mere robots. BREAKING NEWS! Seriously, that's great news.
