Interesting. Always facinated by the oldtimers fondness of Freemasons and Rosecrucians in the 50s and 60s.

FOUR FREEMASONS receive honorable mention in today's WT Study...
by Calebs Airplane inthat's right... 4 freemasons are quoted with honorable mention in today's wt rag study... anyways, these are:.
paragraph 1: john greenleaf whittier (1807-1892) - freemason and quaker poet who wrote "masonic voice review".
there is even a freemason affiliated lodge in massachusetts named after him... the john greenleaf whittier order of demolay which is part of the "freemasons of the eastern star"... paragraph 4: albert barnes (1798-1870) - freemason and presbyterian who was directly involved in the gnostic liberation front which, among other false teachings, attempted to dissuade their members into believing that lucifer is not satan.

No calls this year here. One of the local halls with 2 notorious molester elders and a rapist MS has had to close down for the last few year's Memorials. Fences, gates locked, lights out. Too much fear of picketing and bad publicity by victims. Memorial held at other semi-secret locations with no publicity.

The Apostate Boogeyman
by RayPublisher inlondo has written a great article (imo) about how apostates are a figment of the jw imagination, fomented and concocted by none other than the watchtower.
not necessarily the dictionary definition of the word apostate, which simply means a person who leaves their religion, for by that definition everyone who leaves any religion to become a jw is an apostate.
no, it is jw conception of the apostate, both as an individual and as a group that is imaginary.. .

kelle lee jarka has already been convicted of murdering his wife, isabelle, but the murrieta man will make his case to a national audience as part of a 20-20 segment scheduled to air friday.. the abc news program will air at 10 p.m.. its a very intriguing story, said jeffrey diamond, lead producer for the segment, in a telephone interview wednesday.. diamond said 20-20 officials had been following the case for more than a year and decided that the circumstances warranted a closer look, given that there was no physical evidence linking jarka to the killing, although there were mounds and mounds of circumstantial evidence.. it was one of those rare instances where someone was convicted of this type of crime and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, and the case was almost inclusively circumstantial evidence, he said.. on a preview video posted on the shows web site, jarka can be seen on a video with his wife, both smiling as they celebrate a special occasion shortly after they were married nearly 20 years ago.

Tragic death leaves 'irreplaceable gap'

Pedestrian killed by truck in Yaldhurst Husband killed in road accident named
The family of a Christchurch man killed when he was hit by a truck while delivering Jehovah's Witnesses pamphlets say his death leaves ''an irreplaceable gap'' in their lives.
Grant Edward Cormack Smith, 43, lived only about 100 metres from the spot where he was hit in Pound Rd, Yaldhurst, about 12.10pm on Wednesday.
He had pulled over to drop pamphlets into neighbours' letterboxes.
His wife, Melinda, was in the passenger seat.
Smith grew up in the Jehovah's Witnesses church and was a member of the Avonhead congregation.
Church elder Rob Taylor said the pamphlets Smith was delivering invited people to a celebration memorial of the death of Jesus on Tuesday, the same day as the Jewish Passover.
Taylor said Smith was a ''very nice family man'' and the congregation was offering the family ''lots of support''.
''It's just a freak accident; just tragic circumstances. He was just a very nice, considerate kind of person,'' he said.
''They have freezer loads of food donated; flowers. They are overwhelmed with the support they are getting.''
A public funeral is planned for 1.30pm on Monday at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Winesses in Waitikiri Dr, Burwood.
A death notice published in The Press today read: ''Grant was known by all and especially his family as a very special, kind, generous and loving man ... His sudden death will leave an irreplaceable gap in all their lives. A tragic loss of a very special man.''
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Police said the southbound light truck had crossed the centre line and hit Smith and his car, which was parked facing north.
Road policing manager Inspector Al Stewart said the most likely scenario was that the truck driver "blacked out" because of a medical condition or fell asleep at the wheel.
The truck continued for about 10 metres after the impact before coming to a stop in a ditch.
The 52-year-old truck driver was to be formally interviewed yesterday.
A Pound Rd resident said she heard a "loud, long noise".
She saw Smith's satchel and Jehovah's Witnesses pamphlets were strewn across the road.
Smith's father came across the crash scene and was very upset, she said.
Smith and his wife have two teenage children.
The family lives on the same Pound Rd property as Smith's parents, Kevin and Sharon Smith, some of which is leased to Sharvin Lodge.
Lodge owner Manav Soni said learning of Smith's death was "the shock of my life".
It was tragic he was killed while "delivering God's message", he said.
Following motorists stopped and tried to resuscitate Smith but he was confirmed dead at the scene by ambulance staff.
