  Paradise becomes a Prison

  by JAVA in

  2. friends

  while doing some research, i came across a cnn.com article, nov. 18, 1998, about the jonestown massacre, and reflections 20 years after.

  one subtopic, "paradise becomes a prison," caused flashbacks from my time in the tower.

  towards the end, i felt like a prisoner serving time.

  I'm still within the prison camp. I have engaged my escape strategy. Right now, I am scaling the wall and it's deep into night. The guards have spotted me, although at this moment they don't recognize me. They are aiming their rifles and my temple is in the dead-center of the scopes.
  Will I escape? If not, I'm going to die trying!

  Dim-
  I would feel sorry for you if you'd stop giving me the finger!
  Just kidding.
  It's a pain in the arse, but you will get all of your money back eventually. It can take anywhere from two weeks to 90 days. Trust me, I worked at a bank for years.
  Try to have patience.

  Hi, Jerome.
  I understood what you meant. Many people here who peruse this Board didn't have the internet or COC available when we were raised OR chose to be a JW. But, you have been fortunate enough to have these vehicles available to you in the year 2002. You only meant what I've been telling some friends I have made on this site and that is: If I knew the things back in 1984 (when I got baptized) that I know now, I wouldn't have become a JW. The Org will lose many potential "sheep" because of the internet and books, such as COC.

  Now, to answer your question:
  I just finished reading COC and I must tell you that it's a very candid and honest book. I already had doubts prior to reading it. So, it definitely enhanced or broadened my doubts. There was so much other terrible things that I learned about the GB in reading that book. If your girlfriend is open-minded and willing to read it, then definitely offer it to her. However, if she's seeing you on the "down-low", then as soon as you offer her the book, she may go running scared back to the elders. The last thing a JW wants to be shown is something 'apostate'. My advice, go with your inner feeling.

  i was in the 5th grade the last time mom was on and quite serious about it cause she started scheduling them at the time i got home(this went on for almost 2 years)...u should have seen my face that first day this unwelcomed surprise was sprung on me...not a happy one, fo sho...oh sure i thought many wednesdays (@ 3pm) about not going straight home...but my mama didn't play and although they were the longest 1 hour anythings i've ever had to endure (or so it seemed) i would rather sit through it comfortably, than in pain....u know somethings just ain't worth it...besides, the answers was in the book...not a biggie.

  Police search for suspect in Durham slaying

  By AISLING SWIFT, Staff Writer

  DURHAM - Police on Saturday continued searching for a 29-year-old man wanted on murder charges as a disabled man's family questioned why he was stabbed.

  Jerry Lee Smith of 104 S. Hyde Park Ave. has been charged with murder and is being sought in the death of James Ray Murchison, 48, of 603 Carlton Ave., who died after an altercation with two men at 7:18 p.m. Thursday at his boarding house.

  Police initially said Murchison was shot in the back, but his mother, Mamie Redmond Robinson of Greenville, said Duke Hospital doctors told her he died of a large cut under his armpit that severed a major artery, causing him to bleed profusely. She said he also was slashed on the back.

  "To me, a person who would do that is a coward," she said.

  Her son, who had a weak heart, was on disability, after working as a bricklayer and nurse's assistant. "His heart was so weak, the doctor said he couldn't survive it," she said.

  Autopsy results haven't been disclosed. Robinson said funeral arrangements are pending.

  Police, who haven't disclosed what the altercation involved, said Murchison jumped out a window and ran two blocks to 504 Oakwood Ave., where he was found sitting on a porch. A resident there called police. Duke doctors pronounced him dead at 9:45 p.m.

  Smith's criminal record includes soliciting for prostitution, carrying a concealed weapon and resisting arrest. Murchison, who also had lived in Raleigh, had a lengthy record that included larceny, possession of stolen goods, breaking and entering and passing forged documents.

  But Robinson said her son had turned his life around and attended Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses until about a year ago.

  Robinson said her son attended Pitt Community College in Greenville, was certified as a nurse's assistant and worked in nursing homes. He was the second child and oldest son in a close-knit family of eight children. Murchison, whose two children live in Vermont, moved to Durham about four years ago, she said, and was married until about a year ago.

  Police said Smith frequents Wiggins Street and the 2500 block of South Roxboro Street. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911, CrimeStoppers at 683-1200 or the Criminal Investigations Division at 560-4440. CrimeStoppers pays rewards up to $1,200 for anonymous tips that lead to a felony arrest.

  Eastie man held in wife's strangling

  A nasty custody battle and divorce turned deadly in East Boston when a city tow truck driver strangled his wife with a necktie and then fled to a New Hampshire ski resort where the couple vacationed and tried to kill himself, officials and sources said.

  ``He just wanted to stay in the house with his kids,'' said a close friend of Kevin Hensley. ``I think it just got too overwhelming for him and he didn't know what to do and this is what happened.''

  Hensley, a 55-year-old Boston Transportation Department employee, allegedly strangled his wife, Nancy, in the family's Byron Street home Thursday afternoon. The couple, who have four kids, were in the midst of a bitter divorce that began just three weeks ago when Nancy Hensley, 45, tossed her husband out of the house and got a restraining order against him.

  According to police, the couple's oldest daughter made the grim discovery in the basement of the home around 2:15 p.m. and called 911, saying that her mother was unconscious and her head was covered. A source said Hensley was strangled with a necktie. Kevin Hensley, described by friends and neighbors as a hard-working father, was not at the home when police arrived. Thursday night, Waterville Valley police officers found Hensley unconscious in his wife's 2000 Buick LeSabre. A source said he attached a hose to the exhaust pipe and stuffed it in the window in an apparent suicide attempt.

  He was taken to a local hospital where he recovered and was arrested by New Hampshire state police on a Bay State warrant charging him with his wife's slaying. He was ordered held without bail after a hearing yesterday in Plymouth (N.H.) District Court. He is due back in that court Feb. 28 but prosecutors hope to bring him back to Massachusetts sooner to face the murder charges, Suffolk County District Attorney's Office spokesman David Procopio said.

  Kevin Hensley's friend, who didn't want his name used, said the couple used to vacation at the New Hampshire ski resort.

  ``Waterville Valley was a place where he and Nancy would go in happier times,'' the friend said. ``He just went there and was trying to remember the happy times.''

  The friend said Hensley was ``embarrassed'' when he was served with a restraining order last month at work. He described the Hensleys as ``the perfect couple'' and said they ``fought no more than anyone else.''

  In court papers, Nancy Hensley claimed her husband was ``violent,'' verbally abusive and once punched a hole in a wall. She also said he recently spied on her at a local gym, sporting a phony beard and sunglasses.

  ``I was at Bally's and he was there in disguise, with a fake beard and sunglasses, stalking me for 45 minutes,'' she wrote in a court affidavit obtained by the Herald. ``Then he seen (sic) me speaking with someone for 3 minutes and he came over and verbally abused me and left. I stayed out for a while going food shopping because I was afraid to go home.''

  She also alleged that he violated the restraining order several times by going to the Byron Street home. The divorce and a motion to extend the restraining order were still pending but the case was moved out of Suffolk County to Middlesex County because Nancy Hensley's sister worked as a secretary for the Suffolk judge assigned to the case, court papers show.

  Kevin Hensley's friend said Nancy Hensley was a recently converted Jehovah's Witness and claimed that "someone was guiding her in this (divorce)."

  Neighbors yesterday said the Hensleys appeared to be a happy family. Nancy Hensley often jogged and rode bicycles with their daughters, ages 20 and 10, while Kevin Hensley shot hoops and worked on the house with their sons, ages 17 and 6.

  Nancy Hensley, who was unemployed, was recalled by one female relative yesterday as a ``good mother.'' Alice Norton, the Hensleys' 81-year-old wheelchair-bound neighbor, called Nancy Hensley a ``beautiful person'' who often stopped by to check on her. ``She was a lovely, lovely lady,'' Norton said. ``They're very nice people. I'm just shocked that this happened.''
