    MTS was Jaracz's baby... And very much the last real link to Knorr...

    You know, its sad to hear of anyone having a stroke. But consider, the man is in his 80's and has lived a long life of power on the company dime. He has never lacked for anything, and because of his immense influence, more or less ruled.

    I agree, I don't pity him at all. Whether directly or by decree, he has adversely affected millions of lives.

    Thank you for the news Barbara.

    Even though he is responsible for the mental bondage and suffering of millions, I still wish him the best.

    I feel anguish at the passing of any person; however when TJ dies, my feelings will be tempered by the knowledge of the unhappiness that he wrought, and how he passed up the chance to be a better human being.

He absolutely detested the October 8, 1991 Awake! about molestation and the following April 8, 1992 Awake! article that contained letters thanking the GB for the Oct. 8th Awake! He actually ordered the factory not to print that Awake! He sent out Circuit Overseers to intimidate victims with disfellowshipping if they continued to accuse elders and MS of molesting them. One of these Circuit Overseers became a GB. This man is Pierce who was rewarded for his deeds. One of the other COs who also threatened victims was named Beagle? He died after he was in Bethel for a year. He didn't like Bethel and wanted to go back out in the field but then died of a virus in his heart.

    That is the closest thing to the "inquistion" I have read in recent memory.

    Regardless, I hope he finds PEACE.

    Maybe I should go to our kingdom hall and break the news,,boy the remant will probibly need a replacement because he is definately not gona make his heavenly calling, O well Jehovah will just have to pick some newbe born in the 1980's or something because the 1935 people are mostly gone now.

    I wouldn't doubt that his ghost will walk the halls, tunnels and bethel rooms for many years after he dies, because he won't like leaving enough to leave. Any way the place is probably haunted already who knows how many ghosts live there.

    Well it's sad sad news,, I probably won't pray for him because you not suppose to pray to jehovah about people who sinned wickedly,, says so in the Wt so you know it's true.

    Well they need some younger guys to take his place,,not anymore oldies or else they are not gonna get many years out of him. Those men are getting way up in years, they need more up and comming company man.

    Getting a stroke could freeze his mind in some hellish nightmare based upon his own worst fears fostered by his deeply held mythological religious beleifs,, remember his comment to the reporter at the Covention about childmolestation,, some babble about scripture and not going beyound what is written,, his mind was already stuck hell then if you ask me.

    I wonder what will happen now. Seems like Brother Jaracz was the one who ran everything. Seems to me anyway.

    Hello Barbara,

    Do you know why he was removed from Australia?

    Bonafide,

    Your comment is the only remotely positive comment I have ever heard about Jaracz. He was definitely my least favorite GB. In many ways he was just a jerk. At the time I told myself he must be under allot of pressure. But looking back he was just an asshole.
    I also sent you a pm.

    C. T.
