In case you folks are wondering, these are clips of the 1990's era televangelist star Robert Tilton who was exposed for scandals and corruption that were almost beyond belief.

Thanks for all the comments so far, guys. I'm sure that his loved ones in other places on the net will like to see what we've posted here so far.
I forgot to include something in my OP:
Rick Henry is survived by...
his sister - Debbie Kratzer
his wife - Karen Hoover Henry
his son - Eric Henry
his daughter - Emily Henry
Maybe I didn't know Rick for that long but in the few chats I've had with him, I could see the old fella had a heart of pure gold. I'm really going to miss him.
Also... VIOLIA: If you see this, could you put a link here to the re-post of the OP that you put up on JWS? I'm sure at least a few of us would like to see what people have posted there too. Thanks for thinking of re-posting elsewhere. Others are welcome to re-post this in other places too...
Now for thank-you's for the posts so far...

I have an announcement to make:
Rick Henry AKA "animal" has just passed away. On July 26, 2011, Rick suddenly fell ill (for no apparent reason at the time) and had to go to hospital. Later on it was determined that he had a liver infection (at the very least) and was immediately given a course of IV antibiotics. A litany of tests, treatments and biopsies were performed on him over the next few days. On August 8, he was officially diagnosed with Stage IV Liver Cancer that had metastasized from his lungs and was immediately prepared for a course of chemotherapy. It was in vain however as he lost the fight this afternoon on August 9.
I admit that I didn't know him for very long or very well at all since he was just a Facebook friend of mine for a short couple of months. I know that there are at least a few old timers here who probably did know him and will want to know of his passing. Below is the link to his profile if you're not sure of who he is...

All-in-all, this is a very sad occasion. If you knew Rick, please post here and on his Facebook wall if you know him there too. I'll see if I can arrange for greetings and well-wishes from here to be passed on to his family but I can't make any promises. Peace to you all...

a guy who used to be a jw buddy recently gave me hope that he's waking up to the wt fallacy.
he's concerned about the fact that china is becoming the next superpower, which creates issues for the statue in daniel ch.
2.. based on current jw light, there's no room for a single dominant world power after the "politically fragmented" landscape appears (the feet of mixed clay/iron).
No room for China? How could there be when there's "No Room For George" either?... (hee hee hee)

i'd like the input of the guys, maybe some of you who have been married or in a serious relationship for some time.
if you were having an affair and your wife found out about it, would you want her to tell you she knew?
would it serve a purpose, that is, make you end the affair, or on the other hand, push it over the edge to be with the other person?
Damn skippy, Josie! You're thinking, girl.

its my wife's and i first anniversary today.
believe it or not, we are doing just fine despite being "worldly".
heck, my wife has never even been a jw and i've been a heathen for many years now.
Happy anniversary, unshackled.
It's hard enough to deal with when you have an anniversary ruined by anyone, but these vermin are especially hate worthy! I'm glad that you didn't let it get you down...

This may be the most important article you’ll read about dealing with your husband’s affair. There’s plenty of information available on what to do if your husband is cheating. But very little has been written about the things you shouldn’t do.
You just found out your husband is cheating on you. You’re still reeling from the shock and you're not quite sure what to do. Before wrestling with that decision, let’s focus first on what you SHOULDN'T do. Most women react blindly when they find out their husbands are having an affair. They let fear, anger, hurt, or a desire for revenge compel them to do things they later regret -- things which make it difficult or impossible to implement any worthwhile infidelity advice they may later receive.
This article will keep you from making a mistake that could sabotage the course of action you eventually decide to take. Regardless of whether you decide to leave your husband or stay with him and try to work things out, doing the wrong thing at the outset can make a bad situation worse. Let’s look at 5 key things you shouldn't do and discuss the reasons why.
1. Don’t put him out or leave him - YET.
Instead of your first move, putting your husband out or leaving him should be your last resort. You may eventually decide to do this, but for now, it’s the worst thing you can do. Right now you need to keep a close eye on what’s going on. It’ll be easier to do that if the two of you are still living under the same roof. If you put him out or leave, you’ll be hard-pressed to know what he’s doing, short of hiring an investigator. As long as you’re still together, you can keep your finger on the pulse of his affair and gather some much-needed facts. There’s a lot you need to know about the situation before you can make an intelligent decision about what to do. Continue monitoring your husband’s activities, attitude, the frequency of his contact with his lover and any other details concerning his affair. Write everything down in a journal for future use. Also bear in mind that as long as he’s still there, you have a chance to work things out.
2. Don’t tell the whole world about his infidelity.
It’s natural to want to confide in somebody about your husband’s affair, or rally friends and family to your side. But be very cautious about who you tell. The female friend you confide in could turn out to be the “other woman.” Make sure you’re confiding in someone you know you can trust. Confiding in a male friend about your husband’s affair could complicate the situation. There are men out there who take advantage of women when they’re in a vulnerable state. Telling your husband’s friends or family may not produce the results you want. They might not take you seriously, or they may lie, make excuses for him, take his side, or warn him to cover his tracks. Confiding in your own family and friends can eventually come back to haunt you. Elephants aren’t the only ones who never forget. Some people have a tendency to remember unpleasant events long after they’ve been resolved. If you and your husband decide to reconcile, they could make things difficult by harboring anger and hostility toward him for what he did to you. Or they may show resentment toward you for taking him back. Exercise caution in who you tell about your husband’s affair.
3. Don’t ignore his affair or pretend it’s not happening.
Going into denial will only make matters worse. As traumatic as it is to find out that your husband has been cheating, you need to face the reality of the situation. Ignoring his infidelity gives him the go-ahead to continue his affair. Pretending it’s not happening will make him think he’s getting away with his cheating, or give him the impression that he has your silent approval. At some point you should inform your husband that you know about his affair and make it clear that you want it to stop. The sooner you confront him about his cheating, the better. The longer you wait to bring it up and express your disapproval, the more attached he will become to the other woman. And the harder it will be to get your marriage back on track. Remember too, that affairs thrive in secrecy. Sometimes, just telling your husband you know about it, will be enough to put a stop to his affair.
4. Don’t confront him without the 3 P’s – Proof, a Plan, and a Purpose.
Most experts agree that you should confront your husband about his cheating. But you need to have a plan. Choose the time and place carefully so you can discuss the affair at length without interruption. Do not ask your husband if he’s cheating. CHEATERS LIE. Present the evidence you’ve gathered that proves he’s having an affair - names, dates, places, times, absences, phone calls, physical evidence, etc. Then ask him some pointed questions about his affair: why he did it, how it started, how long it’s been going on, how he feels about the other woman, what he intends to do now that you know. Listen carefully to his answers so you can accurately assess the situation. Then you’ll be able to make a wise decision about what course of action to take. Do not confront your husband without proof of his infidelity. To do so will be a colossal waste of time. Unless you can prove he’s been cheating, the information-gathering phase will never get off the ground. If you need proof, there’s a way for you to get it without hiring a detective or buying software or surveillance equipment. “Is He Cheating on You? - 829 Telltale Signs” lists practically every known signs of infidelity, and will help you find all the proof you need using only your eyes and ears, your personal knowledge of your husband, and the information in this book. (more aboout the book at www.InfidelityAdvice.com ).
5. Don’t waste your time and energy on the other woman.
One of the worst things you can do is become obsessed with the other woman. It’s natural for you to be curious about her, but she’s not worth your time and energy. Repeatedly questioning your husband about her, referring to her or dragging her name into the conversation puts the spotlight on her instead of on the real issues where it belongs. Don’t obsess over the details of what happened between the two them. Concentrate on working things out between the two of you. Do not humiliate or frustrate yourself by calling or confronting the other woman and demanding that she leave your husband alone. She’s not obligated to take orders from you. Harassing her or threatening her will put you on the wrong side of the law. Name-calling, criticizing or belittling her will only make your husband come to her defense. You’ll be driving them closer together instead of forcing them apart Forget about the other woman and focus your energy and efforts on getting your marriage back on track.
