  A few memorable characters from various KHs over the years:

  - two extremely obese sisters who roomed together and had horrific fights and would call the elders on each other. They would rip doors off and overturn the kitchen table in their fights.

  - another very obese sister who had no car and who expected everybody to pick her up and take her to meetings and out in field service, etc. Trouble was, she had to urinate every 10 minutes and everyone needed to be able to accommodate her urgent... needs. She never once ever offered anyone money for fuel.

  - another sister with a small bladder who was a bit more practical and would pee behind or beside a bush. (Erm, this person would actually be me! Haha!) The sister with her in field service would stand in front of her or behind, holding up a coat to shelter her (me) with, LOL.

  - a pioneer brother who made his living selling Avon products to the sisters. He desperately hoped to marry someone. Anyone. Right now.

  - a Circuit Overseer who, for EVERY TALK OR LOCAL NEED, would bring out the evils and sins of oral sex. He would drool and spit as he frothed on about it. *shudder*

  - a young pioneer brother who bought himself - get this - gasp! - a 2-door sports car!!

  - a young brother returning from Bethel who expected everyone to be bedazzled by him and worship him and provide him with all his needs. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen someone behave so arrogantly and with such a feeling of entitlement... oh wait... Donald Trump suddenly comes to mind.

  - cruel elders, elders with dementia, elders on power trips...

  - sisters like sharks against each other when an eligible brother appears in their midst...

  - ... elderettes....

  jw regional conventions scheduled to be held in rochester ny in august 2019, will instead be held in wilkes-barre, pa.. here is the story:.

  looks like the new management of the rochester arena didn't like playing "hardball" with the jw negotiation team, and just decided to close their doors.. the group is looking at returning to rochester next summer, miller said, adding this is "not a cold, hard break.

  It sounds like the disagreement was about the new owners of the arena insisting on having their own security, janitors, and parking attendants as per their own safety & liability requirements.

  We can imagine the JWs balking over all that nonsense when they have their own (superior and theocratically-trained) voluntary workers for these positions,

  Attention Lurkers- the Paradise Resort Bus

  imagine boarding a bus with your family for a long anticipated vacation.

  the destination is a place that is promised to be beautiful warm and sunny.

  as you are boarding the bus you are given a ticket stub with several paragraph's of fine print.

  May 2019 Broadcast - Country Music song

  by Muddy Waters in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  good grief.

  had to stop at the end of the song (about 30 minutes in), with much forwarding.

  so far it’s been a half hour about anxiety and worry and burdens - heavy, boring, depressingly blah (nothing new there), with the magic jah making everything better.

  Good grief. Had to stop at the end of the song (about 30 minutes in), with much forwarding. So far it’s been a half hour about anxiety and worry and burdens - heavy, boring, depressingly blah (nothing new there), with the magic Jah making everything better. And a heavy emphasis for unburdening yourself to others.

  And then we get to a professionally recorded version of a song, somewhere around 5 minutes song (much longer than a kingdom song of praise to the grand pooba!) about take good care, pray to Jehovah, you’re not alone, he’s always there, blah blah.

  But you know, somebody had to take some music lessons somewhere along the way or had to pursue a talent to this degree. Is that putting the kingdom first? How would that be viewed by others - using valuable kingdom resources (one’s own money) to perhaps pay for music lessons and investing all that time in music practice?

  (Jut like becoming a doctor or such... tsk, tsk! - oh, but maybe it’s okay if you can be a doctor at Bethel, but nowhere else! God forbid you might have to do something for a *worldly* person!)

  They are so hypocritical they make me sick!!

  It’s disgusting what the Organization does in “God’s name”!! I could feel so much of your pain and bewilderment as I read your heartfelt, honest, candid words.

  Do you know, I really think a movie producer somewhere should get their hands on your book, it would make a fascinating movie, or even series! You have produced gold here, dear Mr. Keith Casarona.

  It is said that “truth is stranger than fiction” and this would make a great “based on a true story” drama and exposé that should be told.

  I am serious, please consider this!

  Like Leah Remini and her Scientology series, this would make a fascinating account of what goes on behind closed doors in the hidden world of JWs and their leadership and lifestyle.

  Thank you for putting pen to paper and recording this. Your memory (or journal keeping?) is impeccable.

  Amazing work. It really is a peek inside “the most holy of the holies” and so much more.
