    "Barbara Anderson has released her nearly 100-page commentary found on the CD, Secrets of Pedophilia in an American Religion, Jehovah's Witnesses in Crisis, for general distribution.

    Found in this Commentary are specific, extraordinary copies of court documents indicting Jehovah's Witnesses leaders as responsible for making it possible for multitudes of JW kids to be molested. As an example, read the letter from District Overseer, Donald Amy, to the Watchtower, as seen November 21, 2007 on NBC Nightly News, when the secret out-of-court settlement made by Jehovah's Witnesses with victims of molestation in February 2007 was discussed.

    Anybody remember a Brother Fur (sp?) in the pacific NW in the 60's. I was really young but I remember people talking about him when he decided he was a remnant andhis wife was really pissed about it.

    Mostly I equated their "visits" as totally messing up the week, changing meeting nights etc. I didn't have anything much to do with them.

    Casino I think actually lost it.

    I heard that also. I heard he was depressed and wouldn't leave his bed for months. Anyone know what happened with him?

    Eiben, hello & welcome.

    A CO down under that was a large influence was Br Slaiman, he is no longer in the org, moved back to Sydney from Melbourne and faded due to differences with the society over dates and teachings, supposedly.

    JWfacts, hopefully you may know him as it was a big deal when he left the borg. Would love to get in touch with him.

    Yup, consider the word "simony". The Society brought up the issue of simony but (typically) failed to speak bluntly about its application.

    I bring this up because of Rodriquez and other egocentric itinerants who appear to exploit the Circuit Overseer 'system' by offering subtle favors to brothers who had money and could offer benefits to the C.O.

    Do you ever wonder why you see the same old brothers on the assembly program over and over? Do you ever wonder why Sister Welfare's kids get df'd in a heartbeat while Brother Elder-CashFlow gets every bit of mercy and understanding for his family problems? His weed smoking kid? His pregnant daughter?

    Enjoy your golf games, Brother "Rodricks". And the 'green' handshakes and the meals at the best restaurants.

    magwitch, did you know that Bro. Emshoff is no longer in the circuit work, where did he get married? Do you know? By the way, he was my CO for a short time. He replaced the CO that was terminally ill. It was Joseph Scagloni (sp?)

    Bttt again. I know there's another thread about Eastern U.S. COs, but I want to throw a few names out there to see if anyone recognizes these:

    Cunningham

    Tim Friebus

    Eric Hermanson

    Ray Hayes

    Frank(?) Hans

    Terry Barnes

    There are more, I'd have to really jog my memory...

    don sheldon... so "new" i had no idea wth was going on; when he came to my "study" (organized to accomplish brainwashing) he told me when out in FS it was never worth the time to argue with a trinitarian.... he had a memorable voice

    archie datok... wife mary, they were sorta fun; we hosted a dinner/game night for them and mary sent all the men and children away and told a very funny off-color joke..... they had to leave circuit work to take care of her parents or so i heard

    mark spencer.... kicked the BoE's collective ass because of the malaise in the congro... an elder we were friendly with let that cat out of the bag; i had broken my ankle in a motorcycle accident prior to a "CO" week and his wife (jane?) told me a few stories of her pre-b0rg life, riding motorcycles down country roads with "boys"

    rob burdges.... nice enough guy, cannot remember anything outstanding about him.... pretty sure his wife (annie?) was one of those "only drinks bottled water" types

    the last one before we faded completely was
    a japanese-american, tommy ????

    no clue since then
