Not as easy to verify in NYC, as in most states. There are many reasons to keep OBITs out of the paper. Wills, estates, legal process...until one can get a handle on the estate and find a replacement officer. Hard to do during this shutdown, especially in NYC...most Courthouses are closed. Watchtower possibly has a multitude of financial reasons to delay, not to mention lots of elderly donors who this might shakeup. $50 and a good reason will get a cert. https://www.health.ny.gov/vital_records/death.htm

It looks like a verified news source with a date and cause of death to me. The position and job were correct. What source shows he is alive still?

FYI. This showed up on my google feed. I couldn't find an earlier story in the search box. I never met him at Bethel back in the day. Did anyone know him personally? Any feedback from the rank and file?

Has Robert Ciranko replaced Don Adams as president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania ?
by EdenOne inrobert ciranko has been a "helper" of the governing body in the writing department.. don adams (born 1925, presumably 91 years old now) has been president of the wtbts since 2000. .
however, in recent official posts (april 2016), robert ciranko is identified as "president of the watch tower".
does anybody know what happened and if this is an official change?.

Why do you need to make the same mistake?
I find Mormans wacky, but they would at least be good to hit up for some decent toilet paper this year. :)

Do You Believe Joe Biden Sexually Assaulted A Woman In The 90’s?
by minimus inthere is an allegation floating around saying he assaulted one of his female staffers .
most mainstream media do not report on this claim.
they either don’t believe it or don’t want to believe it.. funny how if it were brett kavanaugh or donald trump, they would be all over it.

I watched the initial interview on the far left PBS show "Democracy now!". I have read some of her statements. Very believable. Says creepy Joe slid his hand up her dress and penetrated her with his finger. Claims she filed the written complaint contemporaneously. She was constructively fired and filed more paperwork. If true there should be a paper trail and she would have a decent case to ruin him.
With the major players all over 75, and COVID19 running amuck..who knows what will happen in November?

I miss working in San Francisco. There was fabulous Chinese food there. 2cd Gen and I have been home 99% of the time, and she is a great cook. We will probably order some take out - Uber eats next week.
The P.R.C. is Bats!#!t crazy and our attitude towards the government is negative but unchanged towards the people....and food. Kung Pao bat sounds good.....

Welcome.
You can now sleep in and have a nice breakfast Sat & Sun mornings!!! yay!
Install a caller ID block on your phone. Let everything go a nondescript voicemail or simply ring.
Don't answer the Door Sat around noon- or go for a nice drive with the family!
There is no rule that says you must engage every nut on their time table. :)

Some late 60s early 70s Bound Volumes. Red "Life Everlasting in the Freedom of the Sons of God" book. Lots of references to 1975. Orange Paradise Book. Blue Truth Book. "Why is wise to examine your religion" . We sold some old stuff on eBay. When we ran out of TP last month I wish we had a few volumes still... :)
