the infamous cover of that 1984 watchtower (27 years ago) was perhaps the last prediction / prophecy of the watchtower society.
will there be any more or have they finally learned their lesson?
some think they are like a race-track junkie and are addicted to predictions.
Dear VM44
You are absolutely correct on the part of N.C. that you came up with.
That is the Congregation he was in when i knew them.
Thanks for posting that. Great hunting on the internet as well.
According to that it was with one E tho and not 2. But that was his address in Franklin,N.C. when they were there.

FatFreek 2005,
I just wanted to let you know that the names of the Steemans on this cover of the WT (the chiropractor and his wife) was Willis and Louise.
They lived in N.C. for a time in the 1970's.
I may have her name misspelled but his name most certainly was Willis.
I asked a friend that is a little older than me that was in same congregation in N.C. with them about the spelling of their last name and he said he feels sure that it was Steeman. I always thought it was Steiman but according to him it was 2 E's in the last name.
Thought I'd pass that along to you if it would help in any way.
The odd thing is I did a Google search on his name and got nothing about land ownership in N.C.
So I asked two others that were in his congregation in N.C. and they both said his name was Willis.
Only thing I can figure is he either didn't own the property were he was located and rented it or it was listed in another name.
And if I 've got the story straight it was after he left bethel that he and his wife went back to Florida.
i just read this phrase on a thread about the 7-15 wt and how shunning of family is so important....it just made me laugh.....some sins feel so damm good....so why do they have to be temporary?.....i am starting a revolt....we need permanent enjoyment of sin!!!!!!
!.....hahah....see i made myself laugh....needed that......oompa.
Oompa you remind me of that song that Billy Joel sings "Only the good die young".
Especially the part where he says he'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun.
i'm in n.c. but in our area we were spared the most severe storms but still had some minor damage.. i'm just curious if anyone has heard from any of the other n.c. posters and if they're alright.. if any of you have phone numbers or any other means to contact them let us know how they are doing.. also if any n.c. posters are reading this just weigh in and say hi to let us know you're alright..
jamie I got your pm and sent you one back.. :)
well like exdubs my adult life has been a horried rollercoaster of ups and downs.
whilst attending a marriage counselling sesiion for the first time last week, the counsellor told me that is appears strongly that i have ptds and linked it back to my childhood as a dub.
i started doing some research and memories came flooding back.
Hi/Hello from the U.S.A.
Welcome to the forum
May your stay be long and prosperous.
This was also the second one in a row that me and my family missed.
It felt so good to be at home and enjoying ourselves without the feeling at the KH of being crammmed like sardines into a box.
Welcome to the forum moonguy!
That was some first post.
Very interesting how it turned out for you and your girlfriend after all that time away.
Hope to hear more from you in the future.
And my opinion is right now that both Apostates and college are creating problems for the Org.
If it wasn't causing problems for them,we wouldn't be hearing about it in the magazines and such.
Not sure which one is the biggest thorn in their side right now, but both are having an impact.
I will say this though. College was able to cause one of my in-laws to finally open her eyes and start to question the Org.
ok i try and stay calm in the event of an emergency but there is just no way i can be as calm as the guy in this video when you see the tornado go right beside him.
his truck is getting blasted with all kinds of debris.. i would have had to been on tranquilizers or drunk to even come anywhere close to being as calm sounding as he is.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugwjfoz-12c&feature=featured.

Oompa glad to hear you were not in the path of the worst of it then.
Robert7 you were one of the others I was thinking about. Good to hear you're alright as well.
I'm still getting pm's on Facebook from others that don't post on here and it seems that most of them made it through without too much damage or hardships.
Oh and by the way Robert7, I don't know if you still have the PM's from a long while back where we talked and you asked what part of NC I was in, but my offer still stands for both you and Oompa and any others you want to bring. It's coming up on summer and we will be going to the lake boating,camping and grilling out etc.. If you get some vacation time and want to head over this way you have an open invitation. We have a blast and usually have anywhere from 10-20 peeps show up.
If you don't remember what part I'm in, just send me a PM. Don't want to post the exact details here in case any of the snitches from my last congregation may be lurking trying to figure me out. I always leave enough plausible deniability to turn their "theocratic warfare" right back at them.

Here is a link from msnbc talking about the N.C. tornadoes.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42625977
As you can see they hit hard all around Raleigh, N.C.
We've had many posters on the forum from near that area.
