Jw kids setting off fire alarms in hotels

by purrpurr in

a friend of mine is staying at a hotel next to one of the big convention sites this weekend.

yesterday she tells me one of the hotels had to be evacuated and the fire brigade called when the fire alarm went off.. it turned out to be a bunch of jw kids having a prank.

she had been speaking to the hotel manager who told her that this happens every year and only when the jw's come to stay!.

I know a sister who teaches piano and she says that the non-JW kids are much better behaved than her JW students, Interesting, but not surprised.

I wonder with all this sex abuse drama if Wt would ever apologize to Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson.

by joe134cd in

wt obviously must realize now the value of those that tried to enforce change on them.

i think if it wasn't for these people doing what they did wt would be in even more drama now.

so my question is do you ever think wt would voluntarily reinstate and publicly apologize to bill bowen and barbara anderson for all their hard work in bringing reform.

ShirleyW

The title of your post is a joke right? The Borg doesn't not admit there's such a word as apologize.\

someone please tell me how or if i can find proof that the rumor [that is pasted below] that was posted by a friend [still in, but should know better] on my face book page is false, [which of course we all know it is,] this makes me so angry, i have to stick my neck out and comment on this post but need something to back me up....anyone want to enlighten me where this got started?

i need proof he never said such a thing, it seems to me its false.

whats interesting is this, the bible in the photo accompanying the statement below is the latest version.... [photo].

Seems like Alex actually said "It's the most NON ACCURATE translation of the Holy Scriptures."

THen of course the answer would be The Washtowel's edition of the Bible.

Just the Post and the NY Daily News ( don't if it's in the DN though)

Now I hope people will see the Dubs are NO DIFFERENT than any other so called religion out there, same problems

Do you remember the 15 minute break at the Sun. meeting?

by 3rdgen in

a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.

break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.

the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.

ShirleyW

It was a time for us kids to load up at the nearest stores with candy to eat during theWatchtower study

the caption reads:.

ShirleyW

I saw one of the carts last week, isn't the title on one of the mags how to deal with anxiety or something similar, surely all of Jah's happy people will be cured as soon as they read that article won't they?

Missing London (JW) Man Located Wednesday in California

by AudeSapere in

does anyone in socal or london kentucky-area know this person (m!ch@el g0etze)?

anyone know how to contact him?

just a hunch, but i'm betting he needs a kind and patient listening ear.. http://m.thetimestribune.com/news/missing-london-man-located-wednesday-in-california/article_6d34848c-30fe-11e5-9642-bbb7d810ffaa.html?mode=jqm.

ShirleyW

Sounds like he probably got fed up with da troof and had to get the heck outta Dodge .

If he was in London that means his flight had to stop in NY, but that wasn't enough, he had to go to the other side of the U.S. to California, he really wanted to get away from it all.

Angelo Catanzaro

by Room 215 in

jw
friends

i recently heard angelo catanzaro, a rather prominent figure in the organization .. a long-time district overseer and a favorite of knorr's, died recently.

there was some indication that he and his wife figured out ttatt in their latter years and turned "apostate"... .

does anyone out there know what happened to them?

ShirleyW

This is leading me to think that there was more than one CO with that name, we had him in the k

late 60's early 70's. Then awhile ago the word was that he committed suicide, we're there two CO'S named Angelo Catanzaro? The one we had had a very pleasant voice,he could have done Voice over work.

People who study for years ??

by Clambake in

in my cong ( my wives cong.

) there is a lady who attends every meeting , minus the field service just like a regular dub.

it just seems odd she has not taken the dip yet.

ShirleyW

What happened to the six month rule about if they don't progress that the study should be stopped, this was back in the early 80's when I remember them saying that. I guess they flip flop so much that it's probably not in effect anymore, and plus they need people to join now since folks are falling away now.
