Russell's Gravesite Pictures - (just got back from Pittsburgh)

by thecarpenter in

well folks, got back from my trip to see russell's grave site.

it was quite a interesting experience and sobering to see the pyramid right by his tombstone.

i'm kind of tired and will be hitting the sack soon but i wanted to post a few pictures.

were you at Russels grave?

by Albert Einstein in

anybody of you got the chance to visit russels pyramid grave?.

is it true it is at freemasons cemetery?.

is it public, or only freemasons are buried there?.

This reply is to RR: Did you feel a sense of forebodace (nervous fear) as you were about to approach the area, especially near that thing?! I have watched (and only once!) YOUTUBE footage of a bro and his friends driving to reach the cemetary and the pyramid is not far from the road. A person can stop their car and get out to see the darn thing up close! Once more, really CREEPY!!

The C.T. Russell pyramid

i wrote this thinking that maybe some of our new folks would enjoy it, but i think i may have given the posting a bad or misleading subject line, because it has been little read and not commented on at all.

tell me how much the story sucks, and why it sucks as much as it does.

si vous plait.

Still CREEPY-CREEPERTON!!! As I stated in other post boards re: this subject, this is freaks folks out! Again, my person-of-interest cousin thinks that this artifact should be used in a scary movie--this object is certainly NOT CHRISTIAN!!

Documentation on Russell's Grave

by teenyuck in

jw
friends

i know that there were some pics of russels grave posted sometime back.

does anyone know the link or where i can find some info on russell?

i am trying to send this to my mother.

All I know that it's Creepy with a capital "C". I also noticed that in the pub. "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES--Proclaimers of God's Kingdom", within one of the chapters explaining the death of C.T. Russell, the Society only printed the photo of his tombstone and not that Creepy pyramid artifact. What were they thinking way back then? JW's are controversial enough! (P.S.: my crazy person-of-interest cousin has this idea of that thing being removed and thrown on Liberty Island--nuts, huh?)

I bet when the bros opened the damn thing, it looked CREEPY inside!!! (My crazy a.. cousin, who is a prsn-of-intrst, made a jokey senario that the pyramid was removed from that plot and thrown in the ocean where the Titanic now lays dormant---nuts, huh?) Anyways, still CREEPY!!!!!!

Still no disrespect, but this is an artifact that is still CREEPY!! (It looks like it would be used in a horror flick--still no offense!)

No disrespect to anyone re: the above--all of this is VERY CREEPY! (BEYOND CREEPY!!!!!!) In fact, each time one of my family members sees a pic of this thing, we yell at him to minimize the photo! What were they thinking back then?!!

Remember the clean rooms at the KH

by greenhornet in

i am not sure if this topic is in the right place but.......... back when i was "in" i remember some kingdom halls had clean rooms that were for poeple that were alergect to every thing.. do they still have them.

(also they had them at the conventions also).

friday77

There was about 16 years or so ago, in a KH 3 counties over of a C.O.'s wife who had to placed in a clean room setting. However, one of the elder

's wives was so perturbed about this that she deliberately came near with an opened perfume bottle and poured some of it on her back when she was sitting down

!! 3 of the friends were shocked and astonished by this sister's action. The C.O.'s wife started to weese deeply and they had to take her out of the KH. The elder's wife? She claimed and feigned innocence and begged pardon. This sister (elder's wife) later on was reproved for adultry and the elder remarried. The C.O. and his wife are now still pioneering on the infirm list in another state, or so I've been told.

Did You Personally Know Any JWs That Were Sexually Molested By Other JWs?

by minimus in

i knew of a handful (which is too many) that were molested by a jehovah's witness.

it was not typical in my experience.

what about you???.

friday77

I know of 3 past situations:

1. a young bro who molested his nieces, nephews, and 4 neighborhood children over a period of 16 years! His guardians knew that he did this (the male guardian studied on and off; the female guardian was d&b, but was inactive for sometime). His fostermother (the female guardian) verbally scolded him and pleaded with the parents and guardians of the 4 neighborhood children to drop the situation. She also totally ignored and was in denial regarding the abused relatively, and strongly lamented to the aunts and uncles in defense of her foster son. The fosterfather beat him (he was sent to the hospital with a few cuts and bruises); the fostermother begged her husband to stop and sheilded this bro away from him. The parents/guardians of all decided to let this all go (this happened back in the mid-80's). He (the bro.) was put in a coma for 6 months, came out of it a vegetable [1 person of interest, and another delinquent person told a number of us that 1 woman and another elderly man got in an altercation with him, pushed him down an alley and he fell and was left for few hours, until an elderly lady with a dog who they said was homeless found him].

2. in a KH with many bethelites in it, an older bro. (about in his 50's) was coming up behind many of the single sisters (Between the ages of 14 and 20) and breathing on their necks and shoulders. Startled, the sisters would look back askanced. He would make the excuse that he saw something (i.e., a bug) crawling on them, or that a collar was out of place, etc. 3 sisters got fed up with his actions, went to the P.O. and told on him. The P.O. angrily and vehemently accused them of slandering him, "He's really trying, since he's been deleted 3xs before! How dare you say that about him! You're wrong! ALL OF YOU!!!" Two of the sisters ran away in tears. The 3rd one, got mad and stormed off in a huff, and

muttered that he did do what he did. (She later told me herself of this horrid experience). This abusive bro. later died of cancer 6 years later (survived by a wife who was d&b and an RP); the P.O. I hear was deleted to an elder in name only; someone said he was later deleted and possibly left BETHEL, but don't quote me here on this portion of this deplorable experience.

AND 3. An elder in another county (about in his60's) made himself and another MS (like a sidekick of his) like a "guardian ad lideum" to a number of the young people, including the sisters and a few young bros. He would actually (esp. in the field) rub and stroke the necks/shoulders/backs of them all. He even took some of these to financial institutions, "I'm helping the young folks here in the truth to get financial advice, so that they could do this as a means to an end spiritually; this'll help them to progress spiritually for other higher privileges of service!" His sidekick enthusiastically agreed. One evening he came to a building that an older couple had that housed 12 young bros and sis. and wanted to take the younger ones of the group (all ranged in ages of 17-28; with the exception of 4, all the others were transplants--the 4 were "townies") in an unmarked van with his sidekick to go for a ride one Saturday evening in the late spring. The 6 younger ones were the ones he asked about. 3 wanted to go, but the other 3 plus 2 of the older ones were quite unsure.

The 6, thankfully, decided not to go. The 2 older ones mentioned to the older sister and her elderly mother that this 6 would not be going with these bros. The bros then started an argument which turned out into a screaming match with the older sister, her elderly mother, a nephew (who used to study) and a neighbor next door that came by because the van looked suspicious to him--it was quite disheveled and rusted looking. These bros then ubruptly stormed off out of the building, got in the van and quickly sped off. The next day, Sunday, the MS couldn't even look at the group of young people, nor at the elderly sister. The elder did not even attend that day. This elder (about 9 years later) was deleted--mostly due in part of a relative who lived in his home who torched a few items in a vacant lot and was prosecuted for it. The MS was deleted and left the state. Some say this MS wanted to in his new congregation to get his MS privileges back, but the elders said his
"ways and demeanor" as well as what they were told by a new set of elders in his former congregation via the C.O. made them feel hesitant and leary about appointing him.

Sorry for this "encyclopedia" of horrible experiences, but that's what I so far have been told.
