  i too have fond memories of fred franz.

  i served in brooklyn bethel from 1978 to 1987. brother franz would go to the 119 columbia heights sauna every wednesday night.

  he had a small following of brothers, including me, who would also go on wednesday nights to the sauna just to pick his brain.

  I can't vouch for his being a Rhodes scholar but he was very well read. He had a good brain about hin but was pre-disposed to a certain belief.

  While I was at Bethel I had heard of thes sauna discussions. I had an opportunity to chat with Fred Franz on a couple of occasions (non-sauna)and enjoyed the intelectual excahnge. One of the things we discussed was the generation understanding which led me to help write the 1995 Watchtower article about the change in belief about "this generation".

  Fred had a bit of an ego but was a bible student. This current GB is all about Organizational structure but less about being students of the bible. Franz was really one of the last actual students of scripture within the GB

  New to Halloween...What do YOU do?

  i've never celebrated halloween (too bad none of you live around here - jacksonville fl), but for whatever reason, i have alot of good memories from the anticipation of the various holidays as a child (i'm originally from a state that actually had seasons), even though we as jw's did'nt participate.

  i still remember being at friends' houses, seeing them apparently happy and found myself wishing that i could have something to look forward too that was fun and not just the memorial (such a solemn occasion).

  i have swore to myself that when (and if) i ever have children that i will celebrate them (the holidays + birthdays) as would want them to have some of the memories that i was denied.. am i making too much of this?.

  I love Halloween and now that I own my own home I am sooo into decorating it for this holiday.

  I am away this year on business and am a little disappointed I can't decorate this year but I really loved giving away candy to the kids last year. Next year I am going to have a "house of horrors' for kids to go through in my car port. IT is all good natured fun and a memory of fun times as a child.

  Just because I didn't get to enjoy it as a child sdoesn't mean I can't be a part of other childrens' memories.

  It is harmless fun.

  Try hugging and/or hand holding until she falls asleep. She might like that better than watching you type.

  Just sayin...

  She's awake now and in tears, so excuse me while I go back to console her, prolly give her some Tylenol PM to help her sleep.

  Let me get this straight, your wife is in tears from a phone call about 40 minutes ago, yet you left her alone long enough to post this and now apologize for going back to her. WTF Dude?!?!?

  Get your priorities straight! Why the hell would you leave her alone if this just happened simply to post to a bunch of anonymous people.

  Simple solution that would be easily found with a little research on your part ... <sigh>

  You've stated you have called the police. Good

  You stated that youhave changed the locks. Good

  If you are still afraid, install a motion detector by inside of the front door and/or other doors. Have it plug into a light in your room that will turn on if the motion detector is triggered. Very inexpensive solution.

  She has been an accomplice for how many years?!?!? She is just as guilty as he!

  I am so sick of hearing how women can't be the aggressor. If the transcripts ever become public of the Bernardo/Holmoka hearings (Ontario incident - Kristen French/Leslie Mahaffy murders), you will be repulsed at the sheer evilness of Karla Holmoka. She helped drug, rape and kill her own kid sister.

  She helped cut up two dead bodies after they had jointly brutally raped two other teenage girls.

  She played the innocent victim, and is now out of prison, changed her name and is living well in another part of the Country. Her husband, the weaker of the two but male and therefore "more evil" is still in prison.

  It is time courts acknowledge that both genders are equally capable of despictable acts and should treat offenders the same way.

  i was just downloading the 1969 awake article that proclaims the end is giong to be in a few years and youth should expect to not grow old.

  as i was reading it i was reflecting on all the people who are around my age (mid 30's) who were not even born when this article came out.. then my dog started barking.

  i looked out the window and seen a mini van group full of 30 something jdubs preparing to call on me.

  Apology to Barb & Clarification

  by Amazing in

  2. friends

  i misunderstood a number of things about what barbara anderson did or said.

  she and i were just starting to exchange thoughts on this when unfortunately i was strongly challenged in a way that moved me to defend myself, and in the process, my defense may have appeared like an attack.

  i would never do that to barb, and i am sorry it was taken that way.
