  In praise of Randall Watters

  exjw's of a certain age will remember randy's site well.

  freeminds was instrumental in waking me up along with ray franz's books.

  if net soup and armageddon okies mean nothing to you you're probably under 30.. whatever caused randy to post what he did recently is something i can only guess at but it won't be what i remember him for.. randy, i wish you well and thank you for all you've done over the years .

  There is nothing easy in the journey Randy has taken, they are rough, just a down right bitch. The physical conditions encountered from the vast investment of time sitting that deteriorates hip sockets and lower spine is to live with pain that won't go away. It takes a big man to endure both the journey and the pain. I have been there and done all of that.

  My 26 year writings have not appeared on any web site but they were the ones the WTBS referred to in their famous 2013 "Human Apostate" talk where they said "now apostates are writing to the homes of the publishers" that was my workmanship. What was accomplished there was penetrating the church's wall of silence enforced by shunning policy to plug into the internal church 'grapevine' to where I had open access to minds. I go by the handle "Rabshakeh". That has been a 26 year mental chess match between me and the church Service Dept. which has been set on a stage viewed by the local 'grapevine' of which the church has been unable to shut down.

  I have had to learn the hard way that writing projects take more time than what was envisioned when the project was started.

  The Watchtower has been the architect of its own demise by means of their own policies. The events since the Conti case really are developing very fast as church 'policy' is more and more becoming the focus of the "governor" 1Pet.2:14-16. A lot has happened since what ever project Randy and Barbara discussed how ever many years ago, of which is going to affect the development and direction of said project.

  I too had an occasion to talk to Barbara a few years ago, she asked me if per chance if I was the guy in Northern Calif. who wrote the most offensive letters of any one in the USA to Bethel when she was a researcher, to that I said bingo. In this thread there are two giants being talked about, neither have been diminished! This situation is just a part of the nature of the journey. Once one can conceptualize a true 'movement' that focus on breaking the mental bondage of 'Babylon' then is to understand this situation is just part of the process.

  vigil help for burney man who died after being set on fire.

  community members shared their memories of wicks, a member of the jehovah's witness hall in burney.

  many of them remember him from his post at the shell station, where he worked along with his wife.

  Don Garloff I remember him well over 25 years ago. I remember him being one of the more leveler heads of young elders.

  The answer to where the money is going is staring you right in your face. Look at the Lorenz Reibling video in Argentina! He is offering multiple multi million dollar funding for development of real estates. Read Orphan Crows research as to his connections to the WTBS. Show respect for the woman's workmanship she is one of the sharper posters on this forum.

  Wow I did not know he was a JW. But being a apostate cuts off all ties with Burney area. I have been in and out of the Shell station when I would go on service calls to repair trucks east of Burney. Repaired several in the parking area of the Shell station through the years.

  The area has changed from a working mans town ever since the spotted owl shut down the logging. The whole Northern Calif has changed from being lumber communities to pot growing. Sad. When I first read about the attack this mornings paper it was very depressing as to the inhumanity that has made its way to a small community, now to learn he was a JW makes it all that much more saddening.

  Burney/Johnson Park has two Kingdom Halls the old one [I gave public talks there] right next to a new one, I guess the got bit by the drive to build newer hall and could never unload the old one. They set side by side, the old one deserted.

  The con is completed - comments from the US branch's LDC chief

  recently attended a special assembly day.. guest speaker was thomas chicky, a member of the us branch committee and the head of the us ldc (which has replaced the rbcs).. the last talk of the day is scheduled for an hour.

  it was the usual boring mumbo-jumbo.

  he appeared to have blasted through his hour-long outline in just about 45 minutes, so he "treated" us to informal comments on recent developments.. he commented on the new wt complex in fishkill ny.. then he dropped the bomb (well, to anyone with ears and at least 2 functioning synapses).. the following is not a word for quote, but presents the gist of his comments:.

  sherri papini is that woman kidnapped in california and released on thanksgiving day making the news right now.. during one of the reports this morning on the today show there was a quick scene of an investigation going on at a kingdom hall.

  there was crime tape up and everything.

  credit goes to my wife for catching it.. i just wondered why the kingdom hall was a crime scene when she was abducted and released somewhere else?anybody else catch this?.

  She was not a JW. She was branded with a message. The Sheriff is fighting the release of information, he did not want her husband to release info about the branding. As of yet what the message contained has not been released. When that becomes known then the vast majority of speculation will be put to rest.

  I haven't heard any reference of her being a JW. Her step-father [I think, not exact on relationship] was a really big time business man in the area who went bankrupt, who had no connection with the JW's. So even though the 'iron curtain" of JW shunning surrounds me, I would of heard something.
