The latest awake is terrible
The Society is saying how they were heroes in the New York tragedy
How they provided help to the rescue forces, how 14 jws died - of them a fireman and an elder in the congregation. How people crossing the Brooklyn Bridge flocked to the bethel as it was a beacon of hope. How wonderful it was for all the dubs in New York to call on every home to give an expression of hope.
Terrible - the hypocrisy stinks,
Anybody want me to post a transcript?

Hi Jim;
I would LOVE to get that stuff, and scans of the article and frontpage. I need scans in 250 dpi.
That makes them possible to fix, color correct, etc.
Do you have the article as text as well?

Daily News On The Watchtower and the Jehovah's Witnesses:

I wonder what C.T. Russell would have said in his time, if he had watched the breakdown of the WTC from the Watchtower building...
Nauseating!
That's what it is when one compares the paucity of the WTS reaction to such a tragedy of historic magnitude, especially given the size and location of its resources, so near Ground Zero, to the unstinting, life-endangering efforts of thousands of others who seek no credit or reward.
Mayor-elect Mike Bloomberg, the self-made billionaire, is but one such example. Quietly and without fanfare he placed his depository facility four blocks from the disaster at the complete disposal of the rescue efort, donating computers and electronic equipment, first-aid materials, a food service catered by one of NYCs best kitchens, all manned by hundreds of volunteers from his own company, many of whom he shuttled to the site by limos and car services. He spent, and continued to spend millions of dollars without crowing about it. Of course, he has no objection to others mentioning it, but not one word came from him. Not bad for a ``greedy commercialist,'' one of Revelation's ``traveling merchants,'' eh? And he's but one of many,. maybe one of the foremost, but hardly unique in this gruff but big-hearted metropolis.
And why do we particularly need to know that 14 JWs died? The implication that JWs regard those lives lost as in any way more precious than the other 3,500 some-odd victims is more than a little unsettling to me.
Kent, Im scanning it today and hopefully will be able to provide you with a copy.
I posted a thread about it yesterday.

Why the need to scan it? Why don't you just go to the nearest KH and get one?

People living in glass paradigms shouldn't throw stones...
``Join us or share their fate-- and real soon!'' What a wonderful way to ``bind up the broken-hearted!''
And to think that most of us here once swallowed this, hook, line and sinker......
: How they provided help to the rescue forces, how 14 jws died - of them a fireman and an elder in the congregation. How people crossing the Brooklyn Bridge flocked to the bethel as it was a beacon of hope.
Did they also mention that right after the attack they locked all their doors for HOURS and wouldn't let ANYONE but dubs in? Thought not. Cowardly, selfish, hypocritcal bastards.
