  Where is the part where they say they outfoxed the scarlet-colored beast by soliciting an affiliation?

  Someone should remind this guy that it was his signature that helped the tower get on board with the UN.

  Talk about disgusting...

  An excerpt:
  "What I always wanted to do was get a big booktype thing. get it leatered bound, have it gold embossed with 'BOOK OF LIFE' on it. So when someone tells us they arent interested we ask for their spelling and their exact address. and start looking it up to scratch it out."

  Sadly, the amount of time TR spends waiting on Sexyteen to make him a burger will still be dramatically less than the amount of time Sexyteen will wait for Jehovah to make mince meat out of TR.

  i saw a report on tv about the church of jesus chrisht of latter day saint and they have a lot in common with the jw.

  they go from door to door and as the jw, they believe that they are here to save the world.

  do you think that this church will become more popular while the watchtower is losing his popularity?

  Now this would make for an interesting family reunion! I wonder, Susan, is it just Mormons and JWs in your family or are there other religions represented? Also, where did the religious split occur? What's the religious family tree, if you will?

  I think Mormonism has it's pros and cons like any other high-control group, uh, religion. Some maintain that Joseph Smith was nothing short of a con artist himself. This site might be of interest to some of you:

  This is really too bad. It seems like some decent people who trusted got a bit abused in the process.
  
  I can see where you are coming from on this one Teejay. What happened to those who were hesitant or skeptical shouldn't have happened. If people don't understand what he's speaking of, I will speak of my own experience in this situation and maybe it will contribute to a general understanding. I definitely was the recipient of a number of not-so-nice remarks as this story was developing. I was mocked by Danni and others. It was intimated that I was a supporter of the elders and the organization. I was told I was something of a sissy-liberal who doesn't believe in taking action. I was nearly labelled a pedophile promoter. All this, simply because I didn't throw in my support whole heartedly. And when I asked people to refrain from personal pot-shots I was told to quit whining! Frankly, the only reason some people will consider what I'm saying is because "Danni" may be a hoax. Well, dammit, beggars can't be choosers so I'll take my "audience" any way I can! So...

  It was an emotionally charged situation and I realize that when you touch a nerve people respond in all sorts of ways. That's over now and somehow, some way...I think I'll be able to move on. I'm lucky that I have a sense of humor because it enabled me to let some of the uh, less than nice comments roll off and recognize it as the result of extreme, emotional fervor. Everybody has their moments where they'll take a swipe at the poster themselves but it really can feel overwhelming when many, many people start taking shots at the person behind the computer.

  I think the point is that those that didn't get on board were really taken to task over it. That's over now and we continue to move forward. Let's just try to keep in mind that this can happen and try to avoid it next time around.

  Thank goodness I'm insensitive or I really could have had my feelings hurt! I'm kidding, of course. I'd just hate to see you lose better contributers to this board than I'll ever be because people get so swept up in the emotions that they take aim at the people behind the counter-points instead of the issues behind the counter-point.

  Eastie man held in wife's strangling

  by Dave Wedge
  Saturday, February 2, 2002

  A nasty custody battle and divorce turned deadly in East Boston when a city tow truck driver strangled his wife with a necktie and then fled to a New Hampshire ski resort where the couple vacationed and tried to kill himself, officials and sources said.

  ``He just wanted to stay in the house with his kids,'' said a close friend of Kevin Hensley. ``I think it just got too overwhelming for him and he didn't know what to do and this is what happened.''

  Hensley, a 55-year-old Boston Transportation Department employee, allegedly strangled his wife, Nancy, in the family's Byron Street home Thursday afternoon. The couple, who have four kids, were in the midst of a bitter divorce that began just three weeks ago when Nancy Hensley, 45, tossed her husband out of the house and got a restraining order against him.

  According to police, the couple's oldest daughter made the grim discovery in the basement of the home around 2:15 p.m. and called 911, saying that her mother was unconscious and her head was covered. A source said Hensley was strangled with a necktie. Kevin Hensley, described by friends and neighbors as a hard-working father, was not at the home when police arrived. Thursday night, Waterville Valley police officers found Hensley unconscious in his wife's 2000 Buick LeSabre. A source said he attached a hose to the exhaust pipe and stuffed it in the window in an apparent suicide attempt.

  He was taken to a local hospital where he recovered and was arrested by New Hampshire state police on a Bay State warrant charging him with his wife's slaying. He was ordered held without bail after a hearing yesterday in Plymouth (N.H.) District Court. He is due back in that court Feb. 28 but prosecutors hope to bring him back to Massachusetts sooner to face the murder charges, Suffolk County District Attorney's Office spokesman David Procopio said.

  Kevin Hensley's friend, who didn't want his name used, said the couple used to vacation at the New Hampshire ski resort.

  ``Waterville Valley was a place where he and Nancy would go in happier times,'' the friend said. ``He just went there and was trying to remember the happy times.''

  The friend said Hensley was ``embarrassed'' when he was served with a restraining order last month at work. He described the Hensleys as ``the perfect couple'' and said they ``fought no more than anyone else.''

  In court papers, Nancy Hensley claimed her husband was ``violent,'' verbally abusive and once punched a hole in a wall. She also said he recently spied on her at a local gym, sporting a phony beard and sunglasses.

  ``I was at Bally's and he was there in disguise, with a fake beard and sunglasses, stalking me for 45 minutes,'' she wrote in a court affidavit obtained by the Herald. ``Then he seen (sic) me speaking with someone for 3 minutes and he came over and verbally abused me and left. I stayed out for a while going food shopping because I was afraid to go home.''

  She also alleged that he violated the restraining order several times by going to the Byron Street home. The divorce and a motion to extend the restraining order were still pending but the case was moved out of Suffolk County to Middlesex County because Nancy Hensley's sister worked as a secretary for the Suffolk judge assigned to the case, court papers show.

  Kevin Hensley's friend said Nancy Hensley was a recently converted Jehovah's Witness and claimed that ``someone was guiding her in this (divorce).''

  Neighbors yesterday said the Hensleys appeared to be a happy family. Nancy Hensley often jogged and rode bicycles with their daughters, ages 20 and 10, while Kevin Hensley shot hoops and worked on the house with their sons, ages 17 and 6.

  Nancy Hensley, who was unemployed, was recalled by one female relative yesterday as a ``good mother.'' Alice Norton, the Hensleys' 81-year-old wheelchair-bound neighbor, called Nancy Hensley a ``beautiful person'' who often stopped by to check on her. ``She was a lovely, lovely lady,'' Norton said. ``They're very nice people. I'm just shocked that this happened.''

  I was wondering how this turned out too. I refrained from asking about it because one poster (Dave I think?) requested that people stop discussing it. I don't understand why people don't want it discussed here but I'd be interested in hearing developments.
  I'm still skeptical about how some of these events transpired and remain curious but if those most closely linked to it want matters dropped I'll just have to be satisfied never knowing!
