  JW GoneBad:Speaking of obnoxious & unpleasant...I remember C.O. Lou Razor. Many if not most JWs in the circuit were happy to have this A-hole transferred far away!

  I remember Razor. What an asshat. I recall one disagreement was concerning whether to leave back issues of the magazines at doors where no one answered.

  He went on and on about following directions from the F&DS etc. I argued that I think they are of more use left at a "not-at-home" than rotting in my closet.

  Razor was a true douchebag. Ego-driven.

  More than 17 years of service to the XJW community!

  by Nathan Natas in

  i want to take a moment to salute rick fearon, an "apostate" near boston massachusetts usa who more than 17 years ago started the sixscreens telenetwork on youtube.

  you can find it here: https://www (dot) youtube (dot) com/ (at) araretreat/streams.. like our benevolent host simon green here at jehovahs-witness.com, rick has not done his great work for his own financial enrichment or to collect followers for himself, as some xjw grifters have done and continue to do.. saturdays and sundays are the busy days at six screens, with call-in programs like:.

  Thank you for posting this topic. Rick deserves a shout-out as he works tirelessly to help others. While Rick is not everyone’s taste, he is a valued member of the ex-JW ‘community’ to many. I have had him on in the background for less than 10 times over the years and I have never listened for more than 45 minutes or so. So I am not a big consumer and certainly no expert on Rick’s approach.

  Much like Danny Hazard and the many others who have come and gone from JWD, they appeal to some and are repulsive to others. If Rick resonates with some (and he clearly does), good for him (and them). He does not beg for money. He does not attack others who do similar programing. He is not repulsive on many levels. So while Rick is not everyone’s “cup of tea,” he is far more palatable than some.

  BTW, I thought “Johnny the Bethelite” was hilarious! Just my opinion but… not objectionable at all. Of course, I am exposed to the ridiculous claims made regularly by US politicians and, as a consequence, may be a bit jaded.

  Were he a danger, I’d support warning others, etc. IMO, he is not. My guess is that most here don’t turn to Rick for any revealed Truth or, presumably, anything other than a form of ‘fellowship.’ I am not one of them but I see no value in devaluing Rick’s contributions.

  Thank you, Rick, for all you do.

  Worth the watch. Nothing earth-shaking but certainly gives a glimpse at Morris' personality.

  here he is in holyrood ranting about how scotland is too white.

  he is the 'continuity candidate' who will carry on sturgeon's woke agenda.

  this does not represent the people of scotland.

  Punkofnice: "I have totally given up on those in Political positions of power. I have no trust that they work for our betterment. They seem not to protect the people. Most are career Politicians only interested in their own wealth and prosperity. They all seem extremely out of touch with the people and even reality."

  Amen. My take on it also. Always enjoy your posts, Punk. You're a clear thinker.

  Twelve days ago, I was at an airport waiting and there were two JWs doing ‘cart witnessing.’ They were seated and their cart was ~10’ from them. I usually walk in the terminal and I passed their area several times with zero eye contact and zero ‘witnessing.’

  On one lap around the terminal, a middle-aged JW woman relocated and was standing next to her cart. I acknowledged her when I passed (head nod) and she asked me if I wanted any literature. No ‘sermon.’ No ‘preaching’ component. No reasoning with me.

  I asked her why Tony Morris is off of the GB. She replied that she didn’t know but she guessed it was for “health reasons.” She seemed to try to shut down that line of inquiry as she said Tony and his family deserve privacy. I scoffed and said that all of the other GB members who had health issues remained on the GB until they passed. Same with elders in a congregation. I stressed that she KNEW that is SOP and she was trying to obfuscate. She bristled and asked me how I know about JWs.

  I explained that I have an brother (who is an elder) and a sister who are JWs and I keep up with the goings-on. I asked her if she was raised a JW or did she convert. She replied in a very precise manner that she made her own decision as an adult after careful study, etc. etc. I pressed and asked if her parents were JWs and if they were JWs when she was a kid, etc. The complete truth is that she was raised as a JW… regardless of what she may have done at age 18.

  We discussed other JW stuff (including the ‘tight pants’ issue and that the JW.org video clip was being played on ‘worldly’ stations and being mocked by the gay community). When leaving I asked her to do me a favor: ‘When you are alone and it is quiet, please think about our discussion regarding whether you were raised a JW. You prevaricated and tried to muddle the difference between being raised a JW and ‘making your own decision.’ You knew exactly what I was asking but you chose to try to divert. Why?’

  No closer to discovering the story behind Tony’s departure but the interaction refreshed my sincere and deep-felt empathy for those still in.

  cofty could you answer how the single cell came about by chance?.

  i know the argument for complexity in nature says natural selection over billions of years but this could not explain the complexity of the single cell the building blocks of life?.

  Perhaps it would be helpful to expand upon your understanding of "chance"? Does that mean "random chance" to you?

  Your word choice kinda' seems like you might be leaning toward a Creator. If so, who created the Creator?

  I've yet to chance upon a truly satisfying explanation.
