Because I got to see these men on a daily basis in various settings, this post is dedicated to my fav/least fav GB.
Favs:
Milton Henschel - He was always friendly, down-to-earth and was never too high on himself to speak to the little guy. Always cracking a joke here and there. Tall mofo. At least 6-5. Didn't have an air about him during his time as WTS president.
John Barr - I probably liked him the best. He and his wife were equally kind, generous. Sat at their morning worship table. He would let you have your space. I wasn't a morning worship person, so he had the sense to leave me alone, while others would just try to carry on meaningless convos with you.
Daniel Sydlik - To new boys coming in, he was the man. Always gave humorous stories, talks and anecdotes. Had a thing for the ladies. Was the ORIGINAL PLAYER.
Gerard (sp?) Losch - One of the younger GB's. Was coming as I was leaving the Big House. Spoke 7 languages fluently. Hated football and would rag on the brothers that played football during lunch. Overall, good spirited. Not too judgemental. Level-headed.
Lyman Swingle - Dead now. When I was there he was always straight to the point. Always said things that you were thinking but wouldn't dare say.
Least Favs
Carey Barber - Moody, judgemental. Definitely old-school. His talks were always laced with the judgmental, we're better than you, support the org or you're from the devil mentality.
Karl Klein - Dead and gone. Was sick a lot when I was there. NEVER understood what the hell he was saying. VERY moody probably because of his various illneses.
Schroeder - Used to hate this man's wife. Had such an air about her. She ALWAYS had something to complain about. She was in 360 Furman Tape Dupe when I was there.
Gangas - Yeah, I know he was old and all, BUT I ABSOLUTELY HATED being quizzed by him on the elevators.
Lloyd Barry - Was always kinda aloof. Period.
Theodore Jaracz - He was a DICK plain and simple.
Freddie Franz - By the time I got to Bethel, he was a walking corpse. Never really some him outside of the infirmary.
When I have some time, I'll elaborate and get into specifics. But for now these were some of my general impressions of the GB. Join in, especially if you served a prison sentence at the house.
