  There are many well-mannered JWs and XJWs. A few ill-mannered ones/experiences seem to mar the good in our minds. I'm always impressed with manners/respect displayed by young people -- most parents are doing a good job.

  this young jw lady was shunned by her parents since she was 18 or 19 years old.

  she was befriended by the older man that you see in the picture.

  perhaps you recognize him?

  Sea B -- I read this article couple yrs. ago -- it was in a special news reporting paper. Where did you find this info? As I recall, Sarah Kellen was known as the Lieutenant under Ghislaine Maxwell.

  WT and society in general needs to have Cotillion, etiquette classes, social-skills workshops, manners class -- something.

  BadAss Bethelites, did they really peak in the 1960's?

  2. experiences

  in the 70's a bethel elder told me that every morning in the 60's the paint and scaffold crew, (which was located on the 5th floor of building 4) would go up to the roof and walk around the perimeter on top of the ledge, which i doubt was more than 12" wide.

  then they'd go render sacred service to jehovah..

  NotFormer: "BTW, did Mr Olsen really jump, or did he accidentally fall while proving his bravery, as mentioned at the start of this thread?"

  My question, also.

  A Coin With a Remarkable History

  over the years i have shared a few examples of objects i have found while metal detecting near my home in northumberland in ne england.

  i live in a rural estate that was the site of a medieval village with a manor house and defensive tower.

  many of the things i find illustrate the amazing history of the location.

  What a unique property -- recall photo you posted few yrs. ago of the beautiful estate. Your grandchild is going to be thrilled with this historical coin collection someday. I've saved my father's silver dollars but not one of them is of real value except to me. My husband collected silver dollars as a child and I keep telling him to check the dates on them. Seriously doubt he has one of the valuable Nevada gold/silver (both minted/late 1800s gold strike days) but the fond memories of collecting is special.

  Ditto BluesBrother's comment. Happy treasure hunting.

  The GBs sit there in their ivory towers

  YES - most likely being protected by the best trained security in NY or at least most highly recommended. Bet they don't trust Bro Deadeye & Posey to donate time doing this very important job all paid/provided for by the loving congregations. Live, roving, security, costs a fortune.

  It's enough stress worrying about family members attending meetings these days. I'm sure halls are taking every precaution to ensure safety but without trained, armed, security, they're limited -- sitting ducks at any/all venues.

  Heart wrenching -- religion (especially WT) promotes such vitriol/evil, IMO. I couldn't believe only 1 death reading the first topic of this tragedy last night. Unfortunately, it will most likely strengthen the JWs faith to carry on.

  Longy/Beth Sarim -- exacty re/public events and travel. Canceled 2 trips past couple mos -- this is not good for the dismal world economy. We'll all be afraid to travel to the edge of town.

  Exactly, Longy and Beth Sarim. Afraid to travel -- canceled 2 trips past couple mos. We'll all be afraid to travel to edge of town. This ongoing world horror is going to drag the economy down more.

  Unfortunately, this convention tragedy will probably strengthen the JWs faith to carry on.
