I used to collect audio tape talks and came to actually idolize ppl like SINUTKO....when he spoke it sounded like it was coming from heaven...he gave a talk on 1975 where he said, " i dont think the Society has ever told you u couldnt read literature critical of the Society...." wonder if he ever left or Phil Hayworth from australia, amazing speaker who's gave a talk on the last days of jesus and made it really personal...Anyone know if this guy ever left?
Curious-Anyone know if Charles Sinutko/Phil Hayworth are still in ......?

Is the Hayworth guy a CO?
I have a tape (remember those??) of an Australian CO giving a talk entitled "The Last Days of Jesus."
It was quite the thing at one time...those copies flying all over the place.

I have been listening to talks by this Sinutko character recently myself. I really enjoy his speaking style a million miles away from the talks I remember. I would also like to know his status.

I wonder if he was rapped over the knuckles for that.

I know Charles Sinutko is still active. He serves in a congregation somewhere out in the desert here in Southern California. I believe he lives near Palm Springs.
If you recall, it was Sinutko who used the "Stay Alive Til 75" sloganeering in his convention talks back in the 1970's. Maybe his great grandson can recycle that slogan and use it in convention talks when we approach the year 2075.

Phil Hayworth is still around, maybe in Adelaide?? I think he cares for an elderly/sick mother. Not a CO any longer.
Not 100% sure of that..
But I remember his Jesus talk - boy that was a goodie! I looked around the hall and nearly all the sisters were crying.

I'm sure there is only 1 Phil Hayworth and I knew him. He was from the cong next to ours and yes - top speaker. Last I heard he had a breakdown (mental). I could possible find out though. Really sweet guy.

A possible mental breakdown-wow-as a JW i remember looking up to people like him and thinking that they had so much spirit and spirituality that it made them more of a SUPERWITNESS and i would idolize those guys..they became my subsitutes instead of sports figures.( God i hate to admit that) Especially JRBrown and Sinutko, Phil Hayworth, Colin Quakenbush, Eugene Rosom, Fred Mays,Dan Sidlik,..a Jewsh NY CO...gave a talk on "friends"..cant remember his name....not BARRY HOROWITZ.!!!!..anyways you never know how they feel inside even with so much life invested in the CLUB.....
