  I remember when they removed him for a while. They used his visiting a disfellowshipped person in the hospital as the beginning of the witch hunt. I don't recall the ringleader's name anymore. In our talks back and forth I know he was hurt, but took it in stride in typical Weldon fashion.

  When I told him some years later of my exit plans, he simply said .... I understand completely.

  I believe there was some jealousy from the Service Dept and others at times respecting Weldon's popularity as a speaker. I helped him with the second go around of "Youth what is your future" tweaking the audio files to freshen it up a bit. He and several others, including myself, gave that talk in many places. All of us eventually got a letter from Service telling us not to give the talk.Those were the days. If you had a special self prepared talk that got a lot of raves the self righteous many began taking pot shots.

  I'll miss his candor and kindness.

  Many of us knew or knew of Weldon Howze. Weldon was a good friend for more than 40 years, even after my fade from the dubs. This came to my in box today.

  To all of Weldon’s friends and family,

  I am very sorry to say that this is not Weldon writing to you. I am just a friend fulfilling Weldon’s request. It is with great sadness that I am writing to you to inform you that our Weldon has passed away. He died peacefully from a brief illness on Friday evening (12/11/2015). Weldon requested that a final letter that he had personally written be sent to all his contacts after his passing. That letter will follow shortly and the title is “My Final Letter”.

  It goes without saying that Weldon was well known and very well loved. He touched so many people with his kindness and encouragement. Some have expressed the desire to share their personal stories about their experiences with Weldon. In order to help with this, a website was created where you can go to share your own story, or post a photo, or video. Several pictures of Weldon through the years have already been posted and some personal stories of his, written in his own hand.

  You can visit this site at:

  http://www.forevermissed.com/weldonhowze

  IMPORTANT: Arrangements are being made, when they are finalized another email will be sent with the details.

  
  

  My sincerest condolences to you all.

  A friend and brother

  Nathan Knorr was a pompous horses butt. He was the one that had the devil in him. Poor Karl, a meek man who fell to the trappings of Beth-hell.

  has there been any discussion about why jehovah would guide his people to a polluted property to build their world headquarters?

  Any developer worth his weight in Botchtowers would have done a Phase 1 environmental review during the due diligence period prior to closing on the property. If the property is as bad as they portend then the Phase 1 study would have been expanded for further review. I can't believe that Crooklyn is ignorant of these procedures. Their myriads of free lawyers should have picked up on this immediately. Could it be that they went in well aware of these issues but are feigning ignorance in order to scam some more money? Wouldn't surprise me one bit. A pock on all their houses.

  is this supposed to placate the ones who have been recently fired?

  is this a sign of the aging jw leadership?

  I didn't watch the whole stupid thing. I was disgusted the minute I saw Rodney Thompson. This guy was a dick. When he was here in Florida he pranced across the stage at assemblies like a king holding court.

  I recall his crusade against one of the assembly hall overseers. He had a real vendetta going, but didn't realize that the guy he wanted to unseat had more clout than he did. Hah! What a jerk.

  Could that design be any bleaker? Gray, and gray, and more gray. Guess this will make it easier to sell when they are ready to make the bucks off its' sale.
