  Craig who was onacruise was a great guy. I often wondered what happened to Little toe, Ozzie Oz, JGnat, and some others.

  Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated

  sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.

  they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.

  although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..

  The pieces of the pyramid are being stored at the Coraopolis Assembly Hall garage for now. It had deteriorated to the point that there was a possibility of it falling in on itself. If a "person" was near it and injured, there could have been a lawsuit against the WT since they do own the plots there. I don't think the WT would have liked that. Now I'm not saying this to favor or defend the WT society, but it makes common sense to either fix it or remove it. It provided an excellent excuse to get rid of something that sheds unwanted light on their past history. Not much different than removing confederate statues from various states to forget, deny, or rewrite their legacy.

  onacruise - Craig Mills 1952-2011

  i was given the link to a bit of information regarding on old poster/moderator of this forum.

  i was not sure of the validity of the information so have been trying to find out if it is true.. earlier today craig's estranged wife, kate, (bikerchic) confirmed that craig died at his home on aug 10, 2011.. i am sure that many people here remember craig's time here and how he went out of his way to offer support to posters, even calling them, to give whatever help he could as they adjusted to their post-jw lives.. i know many people here will grieve his loss.. --------------.

  ps i tried posting this earlier but the computer i was working with would not allow the posts.

  Many many years ago I had the privilege of talking to Craig on the phone. He was a fantastic person and so was his wife Kate.

  The person who took the video should have followed the truck carrying the remains to see where it went.

  Not much different than those who are having confederate statues and whatever else is deemed racist these days removed. Rewrite and forget the true history of everything.

  Jesus and his disciples had TV but he took the viewing privileges away from them after the transfiguration. Matthew 17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell (th)e vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

  1996 University Of Cleveland Convocation Center, Cleveland, Ohio. About 3 months after my wife died in April, 1996, I drove to the convention. It was the first convention I ever had to attend by myself. When I got there, I saw others from my congregation and exchanged pleasantries. After a couple of agonizing hours and just before the lunch break, I decided that I didn't want this anymore. I left and drove the almost 3 hours back home and never went to another convention. It took another 4-5 years for me to do my fade and I have never looked back. Life is wonderful without Watchtower and congregation goons deciding your life for you.

  for any who can't (like me) muster the masochism necessary to sit through an 18-or-so hour commentary on a 30 minute talk from a certain famous/infamous commentator, here is a link to a transcript from splane's saturday afternoon "apostate" talk:.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/ot7z2e/splanes_apostate_rant_transcription/.

  there are many topics worthy of consideration, but this particular section really stood out to me:.

  Splane's talk just tells me that they are monitoring this site as well as Reddit and whatever other forums there are.
