    I was sitting in Lower dinner at bethel just 2 tables from the GB table when Martin Potizer aka GB -- (the german gb who along with his wife Gertude were in the concentration camp) made the annoucement to the bethel family that morning in 1984

    usually when an annoucement of such a sort is made a speech is given basically about how wicked the bethelite was for humilating the bethel family, the org , etc

    but NOT THIS MORNING

    in fact he stated basically the following:

    "this is to informed the bethel family that leo greenless is no longer a member of the bethel family and THE MATTER IS CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    THE entire bethel family all dining rooms upper lower, 124 dining rooms, towers and i'm not sure it WT FARMS WAS TIED IN THAT MORINING OR NOT

    but you could hear a pin drop, i sat there as a young buck scare as shit- thinking WE MUST BE LIVING DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP in the last days in that Satan and reached right into the inner chamber of THE HOUSE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    AND SNATCHED A FAITHFUL SERVANT AND CAUSED HIM A DOWN FALL.

    IT WAS VERY SAD THAT DAY, and on the way to the factory NO ONE WAS TALKING IT WAS A SAD DAY FOR THE BETHEL FAMILY

    BUT in a few days the Rumor mill was in full swing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    and that is when i heard about the molestation.

    i will say this anyone who meet him would have to admit

    "HE WAS A LITTLE ON THE SOFT SIDE"

    I recall some 25 years ago Leo Greenless was at our District convention as the GB representative. After the public talk I recall seeing him in the hallway and as a young impressionable youth, you would have thought I saw God himself. I walked up to him, said hello and shook his hand. The thing I remember about him was that he seemed a "little light in the loafers". I never gave it much thought at the time but now with this revelation it all seems to fit into place.

    The silence of the Watchtower on the Greenlees matter is very telling!

    Why was there no announcement of the Leo Greenlees departure from the Governing Body?

    Why did they announce Chitty's departure, Raymond Franz' departure, but not Leo Greenlees!!??

    Violet Anai,

    Keep on living and pretty soon the Governing body will become to you even less than 'regular' men.

    Because the JW's is a CULT and the GB can do whatever it wants, whenever it wants. Its main function is to CONTROL the "dumb sheep" who worship them like god. That is why!
