Any information about an apostate from the 30s?
by paradiseseeker inhere in spain we have just had a special visit from the central branch representative (well i'm not sure what his position is) and in his talk he mentioned an episode in which an apostate and his supporters were expelled from bethel in the early 30s under rutherford's rule.
i didn't catch the name, it was something like "shutter" or "shulter".
this event was mentioned to bring attention to a woman who was very close to this apostate and just because of that she was unfairly expelled from bethel as well, but she was "humble" and "content" enough to leave the matter on jehovah's hands and she was reaccepted in bethel after a while.

Farkel, Norm F, Alan, JanH did so much of the heavy lifting years back that laid the foundation for many mentioned in this thread. There have been so many individual efforts that it is of very little value to make it 'the best of'. Thank you to all that did the research, created the arguments and pushed people out of their cognitive dissonance. Past current and future warriors, named and unnamed, are deserving of praise and thanks. It isn't about any individual

Trudeau panders to his audience. This alleged joke was his attempt to win over a particular segment of society. It only became a 'joke' when he realized (or his staffers realized) it was not acceptable.
He will always include women, girls, LGBTQ2, and other special interests whether they are relevant to the conversation or not. I agree there are issues that need to be addressed with each of these groups but it is his apparent mandate to make everything somehow about these groups.
I prefer a leader that focuses on all of Society not just special interests. That said one group that deserves a lot more of his interest and passion are veterans. His focus on refugees versus those that made a country safe for refugees is despicable!

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

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.

For Minimus, and other old timers who remember H2O and the early days of exJW discussion boards
by Broken Promises ini'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?.

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