I was VERY impressed by the journalist's approach which is one of the reasons I agreed to be interviewed by her despite being an ex-JW is really no longer a part of who I am.

She did a great job on the article

Have you met anyone on the Governing Body?

by Christ Alone in

i posted on another thread about a couple of my experiences of meeting the governing body while i was in brooklyn.

i wanted to see if anyone else had any experiences along these same lines.

i met most of the ones that were current during the 2001-2003 years.

I had a chance to meet Knorr, Jaracz multiple times (his wife was Canadian), Sydlik, Franz, Barr, Losche (before he was GB) had dinner with him and Jaracz in Poland (1989) and wine in his Bethel room while visiting their branch.

Franz was entertaining. The rest other than Sydlik were boring and unimpressive. The only point of agreement I had with Jaracz was his taste in scotch.

i remember the morning conversations that always brought me laughter, and i think there were only a but about 9 or 10 regulars back then!

i will now turn 57 years old in a few months.

Those were interesting times. Great to see some of the "old timers" still posting. You were always a ray of sunshine Somebody. I am not that far behind you age wise.

And to the poster who mentioned the site that shut you are probably thinking of H20 or else Kent's site

i'm having a debate with someone on facebook who claims he came up with the term "borg" in reference to the wts back in the mid 2000s.

however i'm certain the term was used on h2o as early as 1999 as well as here when this site was first set up.. can anyone confirm that i'm not dreaming?

what's the earliest you remember seeing the term being used?.

Uzzah

This is one reference I found from 2002. Definitely not "mid- 2000's"

I no longer have the 'Data' (ST-TNG pun intended) from H20 but as FD2 (H20 Forum Director 2), I can assure you the Borg, Borganization were terms used back in the day' at least as early as 1998

Ex-Wife of Canadian JW Attorney Speaks to NATIONAL POST about KIDNAPPING sick JW kids

by AndersonsInfo in

jwn poster, uzzah, posted a link to this article in one of his older posts which he brought to the top, but i think this excellent article deserves a thread of its own.

ScenicViewer. Dan had a temper and Police were called as a result of his violent behaviour towards others.

As an Elder and as a lawyer working for the 'elite' legal Dept, a blind eye happened. Glen How kept a protective blanket over Dan.

I don't know the specific details of this particular act of violence but it is not out of character and I would tend to believe the witness testimony of her daughter rather than the speculation of any anonymous Discussion Board persona. I knew Rinna when she was in her teens and was good friends of the family during my years at Bethel. Donna had her flaws like the rest of us but know her heart was huge as was her devotion to her family and her desire to help others. So too Dan had his issues including ego and temper but he was my friend for several years. Like so many Witnesses, he is misguided and delusional and unfortunately dangerous due to his legal activities defending the Borg.

Would you give up one year at the end of your life if you could relive any one day in the past?

by Esse quam videri in

like the question asks: if you could relive any one day of your life, any age, any place and remember everything about it afterwards, would you be willing to live one year shorter at the end of your life?

one day for one year?.

i realize that someone well on in years would think twice about it, but, what about you younger ones?

Uzzah

Yes. I would have kissed/made love to the love of my life regardless of impacts. One of the only regrets I have ever had.
