gotta admit they handled the situation reasonably well ....

I just have to compare this with the reception that "Brother " Knorr gave a couple of children which must have taken place in 1953 at the big New York assembly. One of the children involved if I gave you his name most of you would have heard of him. He was born in England during the war, he never knew his father, he was killed in action as one of the Dam Buster pilots. Later his mother became a Jehovah's Witness.

At the NY assembly he would have been about 12 or 13 years old. During probably between sessions, this boy was wandering about the grounds, he came to a young negro lad who was hanging around a spanking big Cadillac limousine type car. So naturally, he had ask what's up?. The negro lad says he was waiting for "Brother" Knorr, the Cadillac was Knorr's car. Knorr showed up and was greeted by the boys, "Hi, Brother Knorr, Hi Brother Knorr" They received a severe stern reprimand from Dear Brother Knorr.

Way to go, Pappy! Look down from your celestial digs and swallow your past actions.

The "Son of Man" says, Let the little children come to me, for to such is the Kingdom of Heaven"

Well an Elder told me why all the new revised NWT bibles are grey/gray in color

while in discussion with an elder from my old congregation, he asked if i had been given an opportunity to see the new bibles yet.. i told him yes that a family member had showed me one a few days back and some of the improvements (changes) that were in it.. as our conversation went along he asked me what i thought of the color.

i said well its certainly different from the black cover i was so used to or even going back further a few decades the green covered bibles when i was a child.

(we both got a chuckle out of that).

The scriptures are supposed to be the pure crystal clear waters of life. In a household there are various uses of water, one is to flush excrement out of site. Then there are systems for eliminating ******GREY***** water. That is. water that flows from the kitchen sink and bathtubs etc. So New World Translation committee polluters have muddied the waters, just like Ezechial says in chapter thirty four Here I am judging between a sheep and a sheep.....Is it such a little thing for you men that on the very best pasturages you should trample down with your feet and the clear waters you drink but the ones left over you should foul by stamping with your very feet."

For those who are unfamiliar of who MacHislopp is.

He is the first one to blow the whisle on the UN scandal, the Watchtower involvement with the wild beast.

For those of you who weren't familiar of the posters twelve years ago.

"You know" was the one of the resident trolls at that time. Anytime you rolled your wagon across the stone bridge, he crawled out and jeered at you, especially if it was especially damaging to the Watchtower image.

"Maximus" also was a famous poster, He had an association with NH Knorr, he was a district servant or something similar. He was sick, and faded away but not forgotten.

Hillary Steppe also was an excellent thoughtful eloquent poster. The nay sayers torrented him continously until he gave them the finger and faded good bye.

Island Woman too was a thoughtful woman who was a great influance on the board.

Mouthy we all know. I have known her since about fifty years, before we both were booted out, back in Montreal.

Ros

today i read at the xjw.com forum that ros died.. since the start of my internet connexion in 1997 i remember the topics of ros.. ros, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

you helped me getting ttatt.

i pray for you and your relatives.. gorbatchov.

belbab

In 1991, Myself and another brother went to Atlanta , Georgia. We went there to build a shop, garage, book storage building for Ray Franz and at the same time attended the BRIC conference. While there, I met Ros, a most enjoyable person. She knew computers and stuff, and helped Ray in the writing of his books proof reading etc.

For me, she is an unsung heroine, unassuming staying in the background type. She even climbed up on the roof to try and nail shingles, but was afraid of the heights. She took pictures and surprised me once catching me off guard. Years later she sent me the pictures, but she didn't want them pubished on line, not for her sake, but for Ray's sake.

She has gone way of all flesh, she lives on in my memory and also in the memories of many others.

Open letter to David Splane and "Buddies"

hi dave!.

long time no see.

Hi Dave!

Long time No See. Just added up the years since I last saw you. Forty years to the month! Boy, how time flies!

So tomorrow, Saturday, October 4 is the big day. There is much speculation on thiis forum about what the 'big deal' is. Is this what it is? Was it a figureative little bird that told me, or was it a Stool pidgeon ? How about this as to what the big day is about:

A new Bible is in the works. Big bucks required to put it out there. Price of paper way up there. Ink is expensive. Machinery, hydro, maintenance very, very, expensive. Yadda, yadda, yadda! WE NEED MONEEE! We need it NOW! "To hasten the work in the Day of Jehovah (tm) Let all of God's people dig deep and ****CONTRIBUTE**** the funds in advance to get this great work underway. The local congegation elders are ready to take your orders for the book, credit cards OK. Pioneers will get special treatment, they will receive a copy at reduced prices and the congregation will over the expense.

As the congregation receives "donations" for the Bibles "that covers the cost of printing" (tm)and it is forwared to the Society, Bibles will be sent to congregations.

Smart move, Dave! What faster way exists to raise money, than to print Bible copies? Even Joe Public will be enticed to cough up funds. Imagine this! Even the dammed apostates will be a source of fund s. It's like the Egyptians paying the Israelites to leave Egypt. I spent twenty years of my younger days, mostly full time giving generously of my time and energy. I lost my wisdom teeth for Watchtower. But God is great!

I am now in a position to pay double for a copy of the New Bible. So if there is anyone out there who cannot afford the asking price and reads this needs a free copy, let me know.

If anyone wants to know how come I feel free to write dear brother Dave. Go here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/10619/1/David-Splane-and-THOSE-TAKING-LEAD

PS: Dave, I see you took a trip to High River, Alberta to visit the JW flood victims. Never heard any feed back. Did you establish insurance scam to raise funds or did you chicken out because of too much publicity?

Belbab, just had medical exam, still looking good at eighty two, born in a depression, can exit in one also, if necessary.

Amen, Lord Jesus.
