The branch coordinator wept during his convention

  The local branch office coordinator, Mr. Kankaanpää, delivered the final speech in the summer convention held in Tampere, the third largest city here in Finland, and demanded all the ex-JW's to return back to the Org. Suddenly he began to weep. When he got his emotions under control, he instantly returned to the tradiotional WT phraseology: threats, intimitation and almost name calling (you know, that apostate stuff). Let he cry his crocodile tears. I'm not gonna return back, noooo'o way!

  Interesting post Liquidizer,

  Did the branch coordinator say "return to the org" or "return to Jehovah"? That's the usual line.

  BTW welcome here to this happy place. We're glad to 'see' you.

  Cheers,
  Ozzie

  Yes, that is a curious approach, demanding our return. I wonder if the org has ever considered making changes to allow people to do that.

  Welcome Liquidiser!

  Hi Ozzie,

  I wasn't myself among the attendant's, but my PhiliaFinland (a support group for ex-JW's) friend was and she told me about the incidence. As far as I remember her words, the coordinator used the word organisation.

  Welcome, Liquidiser,

  I think I got censored above, or some glitch ... Getting some VBS Runtime error.

  I wondered whether the good Brother K also had some other problem troubling him.

  Many years ago I spent time with him while he was undergoing special training in the U.S. He was in total misery. He taught me the only Finnish word I know, sounded like parapukama, or parapukamata.

  Hemorrhoids.

  Wonder if God smote him again like he did the Philistines of yore?

  The apostle Paul stated that God gave him the 'thorn in the flesh' for a reason, so Max, perhaps you're right!

  Cheers,
  Ozzie

  Maybe he realized for a brief moment that he was completely full of crap.

  Hello,

  Hate to sound cynical but Max is correct, this is very likely the result of spontaneous heartburn rather than a Christian heartburst. This man eats razors to strengthen his fortitude and self-control ( compliments of a Finnish CO buddy whom he once ate for breakfast}.

  Rather reminds me of a fellow well known to me who always sobs when he announces a disfellowshipping in his Congregation. I once questioned him as to why this ocurred specifically at the same juncture in the announcement, since I knew him to be a sob-free zone with a heart of ice. He admitted that it was an act but that it helped the congregation to understand the sorrow that Gods Organisation felt on losing one of the sheep.

  This way to the Oscar’s……

  usually when someone weeps onstage for no apparent reason it is the result of hiding a secret or past sin.....hmmmm
