  i use this extensively rather than re-inventing the wheel.. paul grundy, the admin, keeps it up-to-date and welcomes any corrections or new information, especially in a well-written article, supported by wt publication quotes.. the 2 places i check first is www.jwfacts.com and then searching on jwn with key word(s) to see if the topic has been already extensively researched or commented on.. don't be frightened away by the material being more than 3 paragraphs.

  the quotes from wt publications is are extensive and from publications that are older and less available.

  i find it good to read many posts on a single topic and expand my knowledge and sources.. blondie.

  I like JWfacts, very informative. I like to call it: Preaching at the church of the painful truth

  An interesting side story. I knew a brother that was DFed for a day. While at Watchtower Farm there was a brother on the concrete crew was framed by two sisters in his congregation. The sisters confessed to the scheme a day after the DF'ing. No judicial action was taken against the sisters as they were the daughters of one of the elders. The brother was kicked out of Bethel and was not aloud back in even after reinstatement.

  Watchtower volunteer injuries

  i was recently talking with a zealous 'sister' who for years was assigned to use a certain chemical while taking care of wt property, only to have it irreparably damage her immune system partly because she wasn't trained properly.

  she said there was a potential lawsuit but she didn't want to bring reproach on jehovah's organization.

  has anybody else heard of similar situations, of people being hurt or injured in service to the org, maybe even because of them, and taking the loss so the org wouldn't look bad?.

  There was a young brother that fell down the elevator shaft at Squibb in '73.

  Several brothers had fingers cut off in the press room. Phil Wilcox was one of them. I helped take the press apart to look for the finger.

  Almost had a bad accident at the farm when I had an all night night watchman duty. On the top of the factory before it was complete I walked to inspect something but stopped (I don't know why I stopped) and noticed that I was one foot away from the edge of the slab. There was no barrier! I would have fallen 3 stories. Another time I had an all nighter at farm 2 and around 1 in the morning a calf got out of the feed lot. I grabbed the calf and put him back in the lot only to look over my shoulder and see the mother coming at me with head down and charging. I rolled under the enclosure (made of steel pipe) and got out just in time. I would have been dead if she had caught me.

  i dropped my old computer 2 weeks ago and had to get a new one.

  i tried to log on under "new boy" for over a week and since there was no way to retrieve my old pass word i gave up and started a new profile as the bethelite.

  i just want to thank everyone for the help in getting my new book out, in fact i put this website in the dedication in the book.

  I take issue with Kenneth Copland on one point and that is demons are only in the coach section of the plane and not in first class.

  The WTBS keeps track of the numbers for all conventions. They see the 1/2% baptisms as we do, I'm sure that they have an end game plan for the future. Of that 1/2% how many will become elders, or support the financial needs of the org. They have something up their sleeve.

  Sparky who was that sister? I think I might know.

  Knorr hated bicycles, his new boy talked indicated he had a problem with sex, his demeanor was from his "dutch" back ground. Would talk to him each Wednesday around 10 am when he would make the rounds at the farm and stop by the press to ask about the productions (paper quality, wire quality). He was a businessman running a corporation and wanted to find out every detail of production.

  Sat next to wacky Fred Franz at the Squibb dining room for about four months. Love the green plaid shirt with a yellow tie and weird comments he would make while chating with him at the table. He loved the bongo drums and would drink wine and eat cheese on the weekend.
