This doesn’t surprise me. I seem to remember gates and doors @ Bethel being locked (like Noah’s Ark!) during the horrific 911 attacks in NYC.

Can this rumor be TRUE?
by Debra Ann Romano inrumor has it there is “new light” (gag!
) regarding blood and organ transplants since a recent royal member on the wts board found reason to ok one for himself!
i mean this shit is so far removed from my life now, but hearing something so outrageous, that once cost people close to me their lives, is too unsettling to not want to know..

Disillusioned It was a sarcastic reference to the self appointed lofty position they believe they have.

Diogensister: Don’t feel sad-he was a violent alcoholic maniac behind closed doors but a savior to the deaf community and others in the Eltingville Staten Island congregation. I was 31 well removed from any residual influence. My only hurt was that my mother who idolized him, never fully recovered from the trauma.

I bought property, not that far from Watchtower land in Warrwick NY.
by Dunedain ini wound up buying 26 acres of land in upstate ny, a few years ago.
i bought it strictly as an investment, due to rumors of there going to be huge development of the area.
it seems like casinos, walmart, and tons of building have started in the area, or are now breaking ground, since i purchased it.

Do you still own the property? I left SI after my (ex-elder) father was murdered in 1988, and now live about an hour north of Warwick, next to the Ashokan Reservoir and travel often to visit my son and his family there on the Orange/Sullivan border.

Here's hoping Dunedain is still around. I would love to connect and discover what you knew of my family! I only recently rediscovered this forum.

Yikes: Yes, I have been away for a very long time! In fact, it was only by accident I rediscovered this forum when an old post of mine popped up on google while researching my childhood home on Staten Island. There was a response from someone who evidently knew my family, but I failed to connect. This transplant acceptance blew me and my lifelong friend away!

My late Grandparents purchased 1065 Woodrow Rd in 1957 and that is where I spent the next 12 years of my life. Many JWs passed through that home as my wonderful Grammy was the ultimate kind and loving hostess. While clearing out their most current attic I came across this book signed on Sept 18th, 1942 by GM(?) Russell with our former address. Of course I realize this is not the Russell of JWs origin, but wondered if any old timers participate on this forum to know who he actually was?
