in 1990 john wischuck one of the heavyweights (member of the factory committee)at brooklyn hq committed suicide jumping from the window of his room down to the ground) this episode passed unnoticed for most of the jw all around the world.
a few weeks later that year, max larson was visiting the branch in spain and he didnt mention anything at all of the dead.
only good news and how jw were succeeding and all that kind of rubbish.
This is the story I heard from somone that was their at the time.
It was a very sad turn of events, for a good man.
Richard and his wife were at an convention or zone visit when she tripped and fall.
I don't know the details of her injuries but she had complications and died, Richard blamed himself.
He never recovered from her loss, a rotten human tragedy.
If any "good" came out of it, I believe their was a new examination of depression and suicide.
anyone know how you to get a nice assingment with the rbc?.
thanks.

boy she didn't know what she was walking into.
it was a wealthy (she drove a lexus and was very well dressed) middle aged woman with a younger girl.
she used the typical line this time of year asking if i knew where the origins of christmas came from.
Ding, you just remained me of the counsel at Matt 7:6
Do not give what is holy to dogs, neither throw YOUR pearls before swine, that they may never trample them under their feet and turn around and rip YOU open.
Thanks

When shown that celebrating the birth of Jesus had actually become of greater interest to people than the ransom provided by his death; that the revelry of the holiday and the spirit in which many gifts were given did not honor God; that the magi whose gift-giving was being imitated were actually demon-inspired astrologers; that parents set an example for their children in lying by what they told them about Santa Claus; that “St. Nicholas” (Santa Claus) was admittedly another name for the Devil himself; and that such festivals were, as acknowledged by Cardinal Newman in his EssayontheDevelopmentofChristianDoctrine, “the very instruments and appendages of demon-worship” the church had adopted—when made aware of these things, Jehovah’s Witnesses promptly and permanently stopped having any part in Christmas celebrations

I feel sorry for the sister; going from the typical mind numbing 30 second brush off to a serious decision is default at best. I wonder how she would have done if she was able lay in wait for someone to come to her door to jump on.
i'm trying to put a library together for myself, if anyone has older literature they no longer want please let me know.. books published before 1970 would be especially helpful.. regards.
