I thought the Watchtower announces Jehovah's kingdom. How can they announce the kingdom to the people on earth if only a certain few get the magazine? Very strange.

local response to NBC news report
by Mulan inmy jw friend told me this from the meeting for service last week:.
one of the "sisters" told the group that she had spoken to (dave h*********) one of the bigwigs in this area, about the report.
he told her he had been to monroe prison, nearby, and asked about the pedophiles there and if any of them were jw's.

If he has a lap top, you can get map soft ware and an antenna. Of course a cheap 12 volt to 110 volt converter is handy so the lap top has power. I have a kit from a company that starts with a D and is located in Maine. The moving map is far superior than any hand held unit.

My thoughts on JW pedophiles
by TooBad TooSad inwhat disturbs me the most is not that there are pedophiles in the congregations of jw's because.
there are pedophiles in all religions, it is the fact that the wtbts has always pointed an accusing.
finger at the churches of christendom for not following the bible, thus not being christain.

I hate when Watchtower uses the word "only" 11 times. To me once is too much!!!!!!! They love putting a spin on numbers. In fact they live for numbers..

Ciro Aulicino - Watchtower Man for Life
by VM44 inusing various online databases i looked up what was available on ciro aulicino who is well known for getting the watchtower signed up as an ngo with the united nations.
the following information was returned.
note that his residences have all been at watchtower owned addresses.. considering his age, and dependence upon the watchtower for most of his life, ciro probably won't be considering any change in his relgion!.

I remember Ciro back in 1963. He came over our house a few times to stay over night. He would come Sat morning and leave Sunday night. He would give the public talk at our KH. I was 12 years old then and we thought he was funny.

Pioneer Heavy at the Top
by OnTheWayOut invirtually everybody above the rank of elder is/was a pioneer.. you can't become a c.o.
without pioneering.. bethelites (even sisters who marry in) were pioneers.. the administration is full of pioneers that worked their way up.. missionaries and senior overseers at all branches were.
pioneers.

I am a little disappointed about this thread. I thought it was about good looking Pioneer sisters. But it is true I did know a few "Pioneer's" and by my standards they are odd ducks. They have never taken a reality check. GH

This was not a scandal but a great story of how we good boys we were. Back in the early 70's we went to a circuit assembly. The assembly was held at some big public center that had a stage and ceiling spot lights. Well we all volunteered for night watchmen. All 5 of us got on the stage and figured how to lower one of the spot lights on a cable. We got some apples from the food counters and turn off all the lights in the auditorium. So one guy on the stage would look for the other 4 guys with the spot light. When he spotted us he would nail us with an apple. We all took turns being on stage and the game was when you had to run to the stage in the dark without being hit with an apple. I got more crazy stories to share if anyone is interested........GH
