    What surprises me how they all seem to live VERY long lives.
    Do you think that the waiting in anticipation helps>>>?
    I do hope he was really believing what he taught.

    By all accounts a very kind man, and, whatever the interior battles or blindspots, he certainly had a long and comfortable life. I grew up with his voice on the Listening to the Great Teacher tapes which I played again and again. I still think there were lessons there worth listening to.

    When I was at Bethel Barr was one of the nicest members of the GB that I was around. He was not someone you feared. He truly seemed like a kind man.

    He probably just went with the flow, not the right thing for sure but so many people just cannot stand up against stronger people.

    Sad in a huge way because evil prevails when good men do nothing.

    A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth.

    Why?

    Because now he has passed away, he knows the TRUTH!

    too bad, he being dead and therefore
    beginning the recycling into essential
    elements of star dust, he will never
    realize what a hoax he perpetuated,
    faithfully and unwittingly perhaps, but
    a bogus hoax with a dash of cruelty

    That is sad, he was always well spoken of.

    He's either unconscious now or conscious that he was wrong.

    Jack Barr was the last of the old guard, and the kindest of the GB. Too bad he dedicated his long life for a mindless purpose. He could have made a wonderful "apostate", LOL.

    Amazing how the JWs just dropped the 1935 doctrine to allow for younger GB's and hardly anyone noticed. Now only Guy Pierce was born before 1935. Of course he must be anointed, since when da judge asked the audience who were members of the great multitude to stand, Guy wasn't among them, as he was sleeping in his mother's lap, after gorging himself at her breast.
