  GB Members Greenlees and Chitty

  by Greenlees_or_Chitty in

  2. scandals

  leo greenlees governing body member leo k. greenlees was forced to resign and leave bethel in late 1984. he entered the toronto, canada bethel in 1936, eventually becoming treasurer of the canadian branch and of the ibsa of canada.

  in 1964 he went to brooklyn bethel, and in 1965 was elected as a director of the society's new york corporation.

  as a director greenlees automatically became a "governing body" member when that body was formally instituted in 1971. he often spoke at gilead graduations, and was the concluding speaker for the day at the watchtower centennial business meeting at three rivers stadium in pittsburgh, pennsylvania on october 6, 1984. a 1982 watchtower mentions him as being on the teaching committee of the governing body.

  Welcome G/C

  There have been lots of posts on this subject already, but nothing concrete on it. In fact Ray Franz spoke warmly of Greenlees in COC.

  If you've got anything new to add to the picture many would be interested.

  In Memorandum

  it was the 14th of april last year that i had to sit my mother down and tell her i was an apostate.. i was closer to her than anyone else.

  my father and mother are still married, but he let her raise me as a witness, and that meant it was me and mom.. me and mom in field service for 100 hours in july because she had to make her time as a regular pioneer.. me and mom fighting over what to bring for lunch to the district convention.. me and mom up late at night, when she would berate me, and then unload all her problems on to me.. me and mom and our 4 hour family studies, where we discuss 2 paragraphs of a random book, and then she would browbeat me until early in the morning.. somehow, through all that, i pretended to be a witness for years, just to appease her.

  looking back, i don't know if i loved her, or if i was just afraid of her.

  (((((RR))))

  I'm performing an emotional biopsy.

  Writing things down like this is an important step in healing and moving on. You expressed yourself so well and I hope that you gain a sense of peace from having got it out. Your mum sounds like she has much more issues than just being a jw. I was wondering how your relationship with your father has been recently, and I would encourage you to speak with a counsellor, maybe at uni to work through this more.

  Take care,

  best wishes

  alot bloodless hospitals. and its proven that bloodless surgery is better and safer

  Yeah right, Source: The Awake, top-notch commentator on current affairs(NOT)

  As a health professional I'd be interested in knowing where all these "bloodless hospitals are"??

  But at least your brother read the email, the very fact that he's defending things means that it's had an effect.

  YES,

  I've tried to post pics in the past but can't work it out. On other DB's I've used the HTML code from images stored in photobucket.

  http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank">http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/deeskis1/pms-bitch-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting">

  But that doesn't seem to work here, neither does the URL link http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/deeskis1/pms-bitch-1.jpg or the IMG code [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/deeskis1/pms-bitch-1.jpg[/IMG]

  So....................???

  I really want to use pics

  You know I have always said that I could NEVER go back. But...........being a parent I would do (almost) anything for my kids.

  I read Hopie's book http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/member/23278.ashx It was an inspiring read of a mother getting reinstated. Thankfully in that case it all worked out for the best.

  Best wishes Gumby, keep yer pecker up!

  Welcome and I'm glad you shared your story.

  I was faded over 20 years when I found this site and had a similar reaction to you, Aud, and many others here. I was literaly shaking as I read different stories. It's that sense of wonderment that I was not the only one...............I had sort of felt that It was my shortcoming, even though I did not feel it was the truth, I still felt that it was pretty close.

  My husband's worried that I'm becoming obsessed. I'm not really

  hmmm, my husband has said that too, I think I am really, but It's a good obsession!

  We took the kids over 4 years ago Disneyland, Vegas/Grand Canyon, Ski-ing at Steamboat then Hawaii at the end. The Grand canyon was spectacular, we went down to the river by helicopter and had a boat ride.

  but not to the most touristy parts..loved it

  that was the only drawback, it was a bit like a conveyer belt, so many people. But time was limited and it was a great way to experience a lot. I'd love to go back again.
