  Feet and Toes Research and Noo Lite

  by Mad Sweeney in

  2. beliefs

  this has been discussed in the district convention thread but i felt like all the "toes" info would be nice to see in one place.

  [from the late 1950s through most of the 1970s the toes of the image meant all coexisting powers and governments at the time of the end].

  35 but there was a final or completing part of the symbolic image, namely, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.

  JW's are so hot on their views being respected but they do not respect anyone elses!

  jw's face a tide of "no"s and "not interested"s everytime they go banging on the doors, surely it would have occurred to them by now that the vast majority of the public don't want to know and don't want them at their doors.

  but do they acknowledge or listen to this?

  regardless of wether they have priviously been told not to call or not still they come.. they claim that its because jesus has comanded them to do so.

  Some JWs are rude and insensitive. I have attended Catholic Funerals that have high mass and sit in the back respectfully. I have had the same experience as Mr. Monroe with the eye rolling JWs during mass and it is embarassing.

  i attended a convention recently but didn't wear a badge i was treated with the utmost suspicion.

  particularly when i arrived during the sessions one day.

  the attendant didn't want me wandering off to find a seat on my own.

  I hardly ever wear a badge ( the pins ruin my clothes) and to think of it most of my friends do not wear one either. We never get the "look".

  Star Chamber Tactics by the Governing Body (related to Merriman/May)

  by Dogpatch in

  the following is an excerpt from edmund gruss' "the four presidents," a book that consists of interviews with former high-level officials in the brooklyn headquarters of the watch tower society in brooklyn, who spent years working with the members of the governing body and presidents of the watch tower society.their true identities will be kept hidden likely until they pass on due to family connections still within the wt, but peter gregerson, barbara anderson, ed gruss, and dozens of others including myself personally know these interviewees and can attest to the truthfulness of what they say, based on total harmony with our own experiences which often overlapped.. .

  what is a "star chamber?

  "wikipedia defines it thusly:.

  Thank you Randy, very informative and easy to read. Makes me sick that one "brother" has a difference of opinion and is tossed out at 70 years old.

  WOW alot of RI/MA names I remember.

  The Gotts owned Johnston. Have not seen them in years.

  Ron Mansi - I believe he was the one who had a cleaning business.

  Jeff Gity was a piece of work, a pompous ass. Jeff was always nice to me but I could see right through him. I heard he is the assembly overseer for his circuit in Natick.

  John Nardillo was a jerk not living in the real world.

  John Crispin - loved him and his wife Mela
