""The same as when Simon Wiesenthal stole documents which proved the holocaust actually happened""
Unclebruce,
The only reference I found regarding Simon Wiesenthal stealing documents to prove the holocaust actually happened was on a site run by someone who claims that it's all fabricated anyway. Not much support there.

""You never stoop to THEIR level! ""
The very point I have been trying to get across. Thank you.

""Actually, it was an elder (?) that gave RR the keys to go in a locked room to get something for him...in the process he saw the book. ; Technically, if someone gives you the keys...they are as responsible as he is.""
So then someone hands me the keys to the local hardware store for the purpose of getting a pipe wrench and I go ahead and take the tablesaw or drill press that happen to be there, I'm NOT responsible?
Can't agree with you on this. Unsound reasoning on your part I think. A certain level of trust is needed between individuals and stealing anything betrays that trust.

""You're worried about the "theft" of ;a book. We know where your loyalties are.""
Really? Just where are my loyalties then?
Richie's taking that book is wrong. You complain how the witnesses do this and do that. That they are evil and therefore it's ok to engage in ILLEGAL activity to bring them down. I can't agree. Two wrongs do NOT make a right. Unless of course you see nothing wrong with sinking to the level you accuse the witnesses of using.
These kind of actions will only re-enforce the view witnesses have of those who opppose them. It's a step BACKWARDS in my opinion.

Sorry. Taking the book was wrong. Plain and simple. There is no excuse for theft.
Encourage child molestation? Please! Get real.

""I predict that the elders, under the direction of the Watcthower, will be demanding that Richie return the "flock" book.""
Any reason why they shouldn't ? It's STOLEN property isn't it? Richie has even bragged that he took it didn't he? Theft is theft. It's amazing how you all condone this kind of action
what would the watchtower say to that?
notice that no public talks are shown on their official site.
ever wonder why public talks are not really public.
""Ever wonder why public talks are not really public. One has to actually go to the nearest Kingdom Hall to hear a public talk..""
Not public how? As far as I know there is no special knock needed to open the door, nor does one need a magnetic card to open it either.
As far as having to go to the kingdom hall for it so what. A local college had a public lecture advertised. However the catch is YOU had to GO there.
Sorry the door is open to everyone the last time I was there.
i'm going to the meeting on sunday, i'm over 1000 miles away from anyone who knows me and i have a goattee, what do i do?
i'm planning to be a naive "interested one" with hard questions.
""Mention to them you are from the area where CT Russell's grave is located (I forgot the place's name). ; Tell them you've seen it, and it is a pyramid marker. If they don't believe you, tell them they can see pictures of it themselves online if they google for it.""
And this is what they will find. Sorry but it doesn't look like a pyramid to me. Suggest you do not try this one!
ok, i'm sure all of us have met some incredibly bizarre jws over the years --- i have met some that could have been characters in a movie...just unbelievably weird.
i've shared some of my stories with a good friend (non jw) and she swears i'm making this stuff up.
how in the heck could i make these people up??
""They decided to buy a used hearse ... ""
I'm not sure I find this all that weird. I went to school with a couple of guys who bought such a hearse. They left it basic black but installed one of the brightest red interiors I've ever seen. They installed massive speakers,amp and the then state of the art 8 track player.
The mortician that sold it to them refused to sell then a casket to complete the scene.
