alan had posted the following inquiry on a less frequented sideboard so maybe here some of the greater number of readers will see and provide the answer for him.

my guess is that greenlees was probably in or near los angeles, but that's just a guess.

when his being a pedophile became too widely known, greenlees had to leave the governing body but he was not disfellowshipped.

I think you said in another place that Greenlees went to San Diego. Jaracz was in L.A.

Ponzi Scheme?

by Odrade in

speaking of kingdom halls... .

so the society asks for donations to build kingdom halls.

it then takes the donated money and loans it back to the very people who just donated it and charges them interest!

If a hall's congregation quits the Watchtower Society the building, per legal agreement, becomes the Watchtower Society. It did not used to be that way but became so after the Bonham, Texas congregation quit the Watchtower Society.

Leo Greenlees - Where Was He in California?

Many posters know that former Governing Body member Leo Greenlees was ousted from the GB in 1984 for molesting a little boy. I hear tell that he was in California after that, and died some years later after spending time in a New Orleans, Louisiana congregation.

If anyone can shed light on exactly where Greenlees was from 1984 until his death, I'd appreciate it. This is very important.

Two things. What are the names of the 4 other in-the-area peds? It would be interesting to see if one or more of them indeed are elders there.

A second. Could someone have avishai (or he himself if he reads this) email me at [email protected].

Thanks

Did you read the one about where on 60 Minutes the JW fathers saying their kids had lied about them (the fathers) sexually abusing them. It would be interesting to go back to those same kids now and see what they'd say since getting out of the houses.

Bonham, TX?

by mizpah in

does anyone have any information on what occurred after the society dropped its suit in the bonham kingdom hall dispute?

the last i heard was the society built another kingdom hall.

what ever happened to those in the congregation that sued the society?

A friend lived in a nearby town. She said the Presiding Overseer mailed hard-hitting letters to right to all members of the congregation and then when they were primed one time he got up on the platform, spoke and led nearly all the members to independence and the beginning of an effort to prove that the local members, not the WTBTS, owned the building.

Eventually the locals won so the WTBTS built a larger very fancy new kingdom hall. As a consequence the WTBTS Governing Body changed the statements of ownership so that they became direct owners of the kingdom hall buildings everywhere.

There was something I don't recall about the WTBTS setting the locals to tangle with each other. A Rahab tactic or something of that order.

I think my friend said the P.O. was married but then he divorced and married another one of the sisters who had also been married.

I haven't seen my friend in a long time and don't have much more that I can add. At the time of telling she was still an active Jehovah's Witness.

She was blaming the P.O. because he had left the Society with a lot of others at Bonham. She painted a picture of a strong-willed man who wanted things his own way and got it.

Something I can add is how it hit the Governing Body since a second friend was serving at Bethel at the time and was told some of the details.

They felt glum and at least some of them cried that a congregation "had left Jehovah" as they put it. It also made them angry.

Why don't you go to a large city library with indices of old newspaper clipping for that time period and approximate location to see if you can get the P.O.'s name and the like.

That's what I thought, Valis, that is, repentant NOT! Get 'em out of there! Put them all into prison, not back out doing door-to-door preaching! Didn't Solomon says there's a time and a place for everything.
