Blondie, I never had a chance to get to know the Dykstras but I knew Ray, and Cynthia to a lesser extent. What you say is true and I second everything else you said. For sure I know this. Ray and Cynthia held the Dykstras in very high regard and trusted them basically with their lives. That's enough for me. Frankly, if the Dykstras made a ton of money off COC I'd feel just fine about it. But I know that's not what they're in this for.

Did you KNOW Ray and Cynthia or the legal copyright holder? Only a few maybe had limited contact.
by blondie ini have known all of them over the last 15 years, talked at length with them, and knew what their wishes were, the copyright holder and spouse spent even more time with them socially and helping them set up their arrangements for when ray and cynthia passed.
i don't believe that anyone else on this board or others was a confidant.
there is no need to prove it to anyone but the copyright office which is satisfied with this.

Witnesses killed my friend today.
by WasOnceBlind intoday has been a horrible day.
what began as a day of joy finding out that one of my lifelong friends had her baby, turned into a nightmare when her brother called me to let me know she had passed away after birth.
i was in shock and didn't ask how.

Outrage does not begin to describe the emotion these experiences stir in me. And Watchtower just absolutely does not care. It just does not care.
Watchtower has so much innocent blood on its hands. So much!

Hi Jookbeard,
I don't know if you were around for the Babylon The Great Has Fallen book (AKA the Babylon book, or as I term it above, the Babbling book), but the Revelation Grand Climax book does hold a candle to it by comparison. That Babbling book was, hands down, the most ridiculous thing ever written. I swear to god whoever was behind that thing had a strong LSD habit. If it makes you feel better, the Babbling book was all about the bible book of Revelation. No surprise then about why each of these book are so stupidly insane, but the Babbling book put more than a few otherwise good men and women into mental shock.

I almost died laughing at the meeting last night. OMG WTF is going on? Have I been away this long?
by macys inok so most of you guys know already that i am going through the reinstatement process for my parents but i do have a partially sinister plan which i will not mention here since someone told me that there are b-lites that read boards like this.
last night and it was the funniest experience i have ever seen.
besides that the brother doing the sound and video screwed up the whole thing when showing the videos and it took 3 brothers to fix it after 10 minutes, the whole thing was a joke.

i think the main reason Watchtower is using animated and/or silhouette characters in videos is because they don't want to put actors onscreen that later on go "apostate". Hence we see very high-level persons used for broadcasts. At this point Watchtower does not know who it can really trust to be around 3-5 years from now.
