    I was wondering if I could ask a favor of some JWN posters?

    At the moment, I don't have the WT Library CD available. I know some of these people on the 1984 Watchtower cover had their life stories told in various Watchtower in the past. I imagine most of these life stories are in the 60s. I'd be interested in what issues these stories appeared? If someone would want to add what year they were born (if mentioned in the article) that'd be great. Many thanks!

    Great talk. Splane totally stammers his way through an explanation he clearly knows is nonsense.

    This should go into the "best of" section, as a reminder of the lies and failings of this evil cult.

    Very enlightening thread, thanks for the sharing of the recording of David Splane's talk.

    Thanks, Bluesbrother!

    One friend has contacted me and said she has a couple more names to add to the list of those on the cover. When I get these, I'll post them here too and then eventually will update the blog article to reflect the additional names and the brief biographical stuff posted from here. Again, thanks!

    Cabasilas, Johnny Errichetti worked at the Laundry dept.

    @asilentone, I worked in the Factory (most of the time on the night shift in the bindery -- Smyth Sewing Dept) so most of my memories are from there. Right now, I don't remember him, sorry. My memories are fading on some points and some others are crystal clear. One good friend I knew who worked in the Laundry dept was Lauren Sanborn. He had been my housekeeper (I had a room in the Towers when the Society was just leasing floors and didn't own it yet and they put male housekeepers over there for awhile) and then he got transferred to the Laundry.

    Anyone else have a WT Library CD handy. I know that the Hannans (George and Mary) had their life stories in the WT and also Babbette Herrlinger. I'm looking for the particular issues they were published in and, if possible, their birth year if it's mentioned. As I recall, all 3 go back to Russell's day.
