  Here's a link to perhaps the most bizarre twist of all: Longo's impersonation of a New Tork Times reporter while on the lam in Mexico -- and the eventual friendship of the same reporter: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/261598/christian-longos-latest-con-wesley-j-smith

  Thanks, Randy for posting this... Barbara Anderson would seem to be an ideal participant. Trieste, by the way, is a lovely city; few Americans visit it, but it does draw seasonal visitors from European countries.

  No more 3-day DCs starting in 2013?

  by respectful_observer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  apologies if there is another recent thread on this, but i have heard from 4 different people in 3 different geographic areas (including someone who does advance work for the dcs), that beginning in 2013 the three day dc program will be replaced by a second two-day circuit assembly.

  some people were passing the info along like a secret, others seemed to think that everyone already knew.. if everyone in j-dub land is already talking about this, how is it not all over this forum??.

  anyway, can anyone confirm or deny?.

  They're already holding District Conventions at Assembly Halls ... Turnersville and Jersey City, NJ are two examples.... If they do the math and calculate that the savings by going this route are greater than any earnings from public venues, hotels, etc. then they'll find ways to make it happen.

  So it appears that they're really closing the books on the Fred Franz (died December 22, 1992) era. As De Gaulle once said: " The cemetery is full of indispensible people."

  DC Ramblings: A non-comprehensive review of some lowlights

  by sir82 in

  recently attended the dc.

  there have been mny threads already on this, but here are some random thoughts giving my take on what i saw & heard.... .

  -- attendance was about the same as last year, averaging around 8000 per session.

  "Jehovah provides all the spiritual food that is needed - but some feel it is not enough. Some are studying the original Hebrew and Greek that the Bible was written in, as if to check the accuracy of the New World Translation, then discussing their findings in private groups and online. You should read the foreward to the New World Translation. The New World Translation Committee had Jehovah's backing, these other groups do not."

  ... So I guess we older JWs will hae to expunge the Kingdom Interlinear Translation of The Christian Greek Scriptures (of which they produced at least 850,000) and Wilson's The Empahtic Diaglott from out home libraries. ....

  Watchtower Society Fate?

  by mind blown in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  from what i'm seeing on other sites many are now coming out of the woodwork to file charges against the wts.. in all reality with the conti case payout, could the wts and individual congregations (also having to pay) really sustain these blows?

  and if so how would this play out?

  they're not as rich as rc religion.

  ...Not only against the Watchtower, but when will Caesar prosecute local elders who willfully conceal the identities of kinwn pedophiles in their midst, and the WT lawyers throw them under the bus?
