this may be covered some where in the archives here, but came across this today on the internet.. 90 year old anna bedford owner of one of the great camps of the adirondacks (preserve at green bay, 135 acres) dies and somehow the society becomes the owner.
they sell for 2.250 million dollars in june of l988.. see the bottom of page 2. .

When I get old and decrepit enough to start wearing Depends, I'm going to save up the used ones and bequeath them to the WTS. I figure after all the $h!t they fed me for 25 years deserves to be repaid in kind.
Scully, you are so funny--- your comment made my day. Wanna
welcome, welcome.
i hope you enjoy this forum and absorb the many benifits it has to offer.
Hi leagalchickie,
I read your bio. It is so similar to what most of us have endured.
I am happy for you that you have found this site. The guilt will go away as you read and learn more.
I want to send you my sincerest regards

my mum showed me this e-mail her jw friend had sent her last week.. in it the friend explained how wonderful the magazines are and how they provide food at the proper time because they had recently had an article in about ' being prepared for the unexpected'.
the article had told them to have a bag packed with emergency stuff in case they ever needed to leave the house in a hurry.
so they were told to pack dried food, a wallet with important documents in, waterproof clothing etc.. now this, it seems, was pretty relevant because i live in gloucester where were had terrible floods a few weeks ago, and some peoples houses were flooded out, the entire city had its water cut off for a fortnight because the pumping station flooded, and most work places were unable to allow staff in because they were not able to provide flushing toilets or running water.. so my mims friend was totally blown away by how jehovah is so clever - although having dried food and your passport in a waterproof wallet did nothing to help you flush the toilet for a fortnight.. but - now heres to point of this long and rambling story - i suddenly got super angry about this article and its survivialist mentalilty.
AAAHHH!!! ranting is good therapy. Let it all out.

her life story was the front cover on the july 15, 1979 of the craptower ... she is now dead.
the wt and the memorial program can be downloaded on the link below.. .
through his organization have i found.
I remember her experience in 1979.I was a teenager back then and can remember vividly how I felt sick to my stomach to think that she abandoned her little children and why would Jehovah allow her to abandon her family. It seemed so unnatural to me.
May she rest in peace.

we all know that the watchtower changes are supposed to allow more "pointed counsel".
this will be coming quite soon - i already have my september magazines - so only 6 more issues and we will be into the january 2008 issues.
what are some of the issues that may be addressed in this pointed counsel?.
What do you all think?
I don't really know what the nature and the content will be. I do know this from talking to longtime friends in the "troof", that many are sick and tired of all the negative talk about education and the solicitation for more funds.
I hope Watchtower does all of what you say. Some are starting to see it now and many more will see it then.
