google is not my friend anymore, it seems, i cant find a thing.. i was searching for the audio file where john may, the elder from dublin, tells his story when he traveled to brooklyn to find out the truth about the ray franz incident.
i do not mean the talk of his that you can find on 4jehovah.org or 4witness.org, this was a different audio testimony where he just basically tells what happened to him and to his irish elder friend merriman when they wanted to discuss the rf issue with the gb.
i had this file once but cant find it anymore.

it's funny the things you find out about the young ones in the cong..isn't it??
there are so many stories, and i mean true stories.
it baffles the mind as to how they get away with it for so long.
It's funny the things you find out about the young ones in the cong..isn't it?? There are so many stories, and i mean TRUE stories. It baffles the mind as to how they get away with it for so long. One of the young guys in my old cong, well actually 2 of them at different times were sending nude photos of their genitalia to young girls, who weren't witnesses. I heard nearly all of the young couples had had sex before marriage too. Thing is that these are elders' kids mostly surprise surprise! They all seem to get drunk regularly, and most are either pioneers or MSes or whatever. I just heard that there is a new paedophile investigation going on in Athlone cong against a bro who molested a 5 year old and then threatened him he wouldn't see his mother again if he told her. He eventually told an elder who told the mum, but she has been tarred and feathered as usual JW custom here, and her family aren't talking to her... after all this bro is well liked. I would just love for something big to blow the whole thing apart. Something worldwide. Any news as to whether there's any truth to reports of IRS closing in on GB in USA? Lots of things going on here in Ireland but no one talking....
closure isn't needed.
in georgia recently, a religious "criminal" died.
this one had been brought to account.
wouldn't it be great if lots wrote to papers all over the world with the same message...the consequence would be interesting...good work though Maeve..I felt like I knew him, after reading his book COC and his words finally liberated me from imprisonment and a false life. I wish he were still alive so I could thank him. I wish a TV producer would do a documentary on his life and help others like me to rid themselves of a high control group.
ex bethelite (reassigned special pioneer status) in our congo has told me teddys funeral is monday night.
Nathan, I nearly wet myself reading that....stop it! Pity gravity will prevail but maybe he will plug up Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland, and all my friends can then resume their holiday plans!:)
yesterday, i brought a batch of cupcakes to my son's school.
in passing them out, i started to give one to one of the children, who was a jw.
he immediately started freaking out and screaming "no thank you" over and over.
That's really sad..poor kid.
former jehovah's witness and watchtower historian, richard rawe who hosts the program "dialogue" is having a special program in tribute to ray franz, former governing body member, saturday june 12 at 7p.m.est.
many of ray's friends will be calling in to talk about how ray influenced their lives and helped so many people to see the falsehoods of the watchtower organization.
some of richard's scheduled guests will be peter gregerson, randy watters, tom cabeen, ron frye, barbara and joe anderson and many others who were "touched by ray".
will it work from ireland?
we were at a party (get-together in jw speak) and somehow the ones i was talking with changed the subject to a talk given by the co that "the end is closer than we think.".
i just sheepishly asked the group ... "i don't understand that phrase, "the end is closer than we think.
" i said my parents told me i would never go to school, then later that i would never graduate from high school, and that i would never get married.. then i mentioned my parents were expecting the end to be in 1975 ... my grandparents were expecting the end numerous times in the 1920's and 1930's.. so i very nicely asked, "isn't is more correct to say "the end is farther than we think?
An elderly bro in my old cong said he was sick of waiting for the end..he's now nearly 90 and was baptized during his time in Burma, during the war. But he can't say that to everyone, which is sad. Even the prophets questioned why so long...I'm just glad I'm out and now SANE again. I have alot of catching up to do with life, as do my girls. Rubadub...love the post.LOL
the associated press is sending out on the news wire the information about the death of ray franz.
this story will be picked up across the world by all major newpapers, tv and radio.. fyi, there will be a tribute to raymond franz, saturday, june 12th, at 7 p.m. est on the phone conferencing dialogue program.
call.
I haven't been on this site for a while and hadn't realised he had passed...that's very sad. When did he die?? :(
25 years ago i lived in an apartment overlooking the grounds of the local high school.. at the time i still totally believed the lie.
a lot of the dub students went to my hell.. i noticed looking out my window, that the witless kids always looked miserable and isolated.
yet in the kingdumb hell they would behave almost euphorically.. what was going on?.
My 2 daughters told me tonight that i was really strict with them..until recently and they do understand why i was like that, but they said that now i'm COOL!!! 15 and 12 year old girls think mum is cool...great. I told my sister today that I'm leaving for good, and she said...GREAT! She said I joined when i was vulnerable and i agree. Most i know that joined were the same. I'm glad my girls didn't get baptized though. My daughter's 13 on 29th March and she wants a big fat juicy chocolate cake with triple fudge. And boy is she gonna get it! She was initially devestated but now is really happy....i still have to pick up the pieces, but will get there. My girls hated the isolation and taunts, but fought it well and have come out the other side. glad i got the TRUTH now and not in 10 years time....thanks leoking! x
i have never gotten a good answer for this questions from any other jw's other than "everyone was of the annointed back in the first century" or "we are showing our respect for the arrangement" or some other nondescript comment.. even the notion that we "celebrate" the memorial is not accurate since the "celebration" part is limited to 8 or 9 thousand people and the 15 million or so that attend are merely observing or watching.. is there some other biblical support for people to observe the celebration ???
in all my life as a jw, i still don't quite understand the significance of it from a biblical persective.. rub a dub .
.
should the memorial be celebrated yearly??
