i just came across something saying that one of his adopted parents was a jw and he was raised one as well.. there's something about ex-jws that just go against the flow of what's expected of them.
there's the wayans, latoya jackson, patti smith, xzibit.. i also read that dwight d. eisenhauer left, but not only left openly spoke out against it's teachings.
can anyone verify this?
Dwight Eisenhower's brother was the branch overseer in Argentina long ago as far as I can remember from a conversation that I held with the branch overseer in Spain (John H. Kurtz) in the 90's.
Probably someone else could confirm this as I'm not 100% sure of it.
this will be studied in two weeks time but it's such a special .

Have a look at the picture of the GB as a clear example how they manipulate people and information.
Fist of all, there were not to many copies available for reading, as it was a hard work to make a copy of the scriptures. Second, not many were able to read or write. better approaching would be just one reading for the others.
The only thing missing that they will include in the future pictures is a calendar in which the Wednesdays of the months will be in red colour.

in the early 1960s, a jehovah's witness named max hatton was living and working in albany, a town on the southern coast of western australia.
when he was challenged by sda geoff rogerson, who lived in the nearby township of denmark, about the watchtower society's neo-babylonian chronology, max investigated geoff's claims.. after four years of intensive research, max resigned his position as a "servant in the organisation".. max documented the result of his research, and his 77-page study is remarkable and deserves to be widely known.
it is quite likely that the copies max and i have are two of very few copies that now exist.
Hi Doug Mason
Very interesting your post regarding Hatton's findings. I didn't know anything about him untill reading your post. I've read also that he's mencioned in Edmond C. Gruss' book on JW. D
Because all this issue took place in the earlies 60s, I wonder whether Carl Olof Jonsson did know already about Hatton's work? Anyone knows?
Regards
i believe i did in 1974, but i was just coming into the org and didn't realize the significance of the part he played.. it was a sunday at a stadium on the campus of the university of alabama in tuscaloosa.
all the "friends" were almost beside themselves with excitement, so looking back, it must have been f. w. franz!.
i'd worked until 6 pm that saturday night, had a one year old teething child, and had to arise at 3 am to get ready for the bus trip.. when we arrived, the weather had turned colder, the stadium was quite warm, and i fell asleep a few minutes into the talk.
I heard him in 1983. He gave the main talk in the dedication of the new bethel at the time in Ajalvir, Spain. I was in Bilbao. Main cities in Spain were connected with Madrid to be able to hear all these layers.
i would like for dorothy "betty" dunlap to listen to this, but i need them to be .mp3 or .wav files.
.
i can't convert realaudio files to a audio cd.. could someone help me?.
As Ray Franz wrote in one of his books (In search of ...) when Ed Dunlap was disfellowshiped went back to his homeland in Oklahoma. His brother who at that time was JW and city overseer there was disfellowshiped as well, because he employed his brother.
hello everyone.... honestly i dont know how to start my first post.
i have been an avid reader of jwd for some time now, and now have decided to say hello.
i was raised as a witness, and have been baptized for 17 years.
Wellcome
Thanks Spike Tassel
Yes, He's the man.
I knew the info you posted from Freeminds. However he still was in a high position at that time. Any updated info about him nowadays?
i read on another thread something about c.o.s going down to one visit per year.
is this speculation?
...or has new infor come to light?.
The same subject was posted in same Spanish forums and blogs more than a year ago. If true...still to come. At the moment seems to be just speculation/
Hi All
A few years ago was told that the former branch overseer in Italy (Farnetti) had been kick out from Bethel and sent out. Till now I haven't been able to know anything else about the truth of this. The last thing I heard was that he was sent as a special pioneer somewhere in Italy.
Otherwise, he was one of the heavyweights in Europe who did visits as a zone overseer. He visited Spain in 1988 and seemed to be rigid business man.
Anyone know something else about the issues around this old timer JW???????
