Hess tried to broker a peace deal. I personally don’t think he should have spent his whole life in jail. He probably tried to do some good. The others obviously deserved their fate, or if anything, got off lightly, as in the case of Speer.

I’m not in favour of giving him any just cause to feel aggrieved. This whole sorry situation is so completely of his own doing and the result of his own moral bankruptcy, it’s better to leave it that way so the issue is crystal clear for any new onlookers.

Not to get over biblical, but straining the gnat and gulping the camel springs to mind.

Meeting attendance
by Benavidez ini was wondering what your guys' meeting attendance was like.
our meetings here is like 50/50 with zoom and in person.
the spanish has it a little "better" with it being like 30% zoom attendance with most attending in person.. i've heard of congregations in other states having attendance where most (even elders and ms) attend meeting only via zoom and even have their cameras off.

Was about 60/40 KH versus Zoom, increased to around 70/30 following the letter telling JWs to get back to the KH.

Dumb 'experiences' you were told as a JW
by BettyHumpter inthis one stands out in my mind.
it was reported that 'a brother', unnamed of course, was out in field service and was set upon by a pack of vicious dogs.
he made it back to the car and was injured quite badly with his arms, hands and leg bleeding heavily.

The leaflet in the kangaroo pouch was a classic.
One I heard that was a variation on a theme: while in the hairdressers a sister was told, by someone who worked there who, in hindsight, must have been a “demonic”, or a possessed person, that because Jehovah killed the demons’ children (the Nephilim) in the flood, the demons are now determined to snatch as many youngsters away from the truth as possible so they will die at Armageddon. Why at a hairdressers? I’ve no idea. I think this might have been an idea about the demons targeting young JWs, made in a talk at some point, that was grossly embellished and set in a conversation in a public place.

A look at Robert Alter’s translation: The Hebrew Bible
by Wonderment ina look at robert alter’s translation: the hebrew biblethree volumes labeled as, "the five books of moses"; "the writings"; and "prophets.
"verse numbers appear in the margins.
my take: some view this as a plus, since this allows for continuous, undistracted reading.

Kim he keeps calling you a liar but also refuses to identify a single lie. In fact he himself confirmed the things you said in his own livestream. When challenged, he says that he has no obligation to share what he considers lies, and acts as if it’s some sort of imposition to even ask what he is talking about. He is a pure chancer. (I don’t know if that phrase translates outside Scotland: roughly it means he is somebody who overreaches themselves, pretending to be something they are not, thinking they can get away with it if they act convincingly.)
Kim he has publicly called you a liar so often, and with no evidence whatsoever, it makes me wonder isn’t he himself vulnerable to a charge of libel at this point? Perhaps it wouldn’t be worth pursuing legally, but it should be pointed out that the one guilty of making false accusations here is LE himself.

Absolutely disgusting. Remember he pulled a similar trick on this forum when he outed hundred of fading JWs to their families on facebook? Instead of apologising, he demanded proof from those he harmed that they had been harmed! The way he told it he was the real victim because people were being mean to him, while at the same time he was insinuating that people who got shunned and disinvited to weddings were liars unless they post all their private details for him to verify. How warped do you need to be?
And now this. Where is his proof that none of the dozens of sex workers he visited had been coerced or trafficked? Given the percentages of of underage and forced victims in the countries where admits using sex workers dozens of times at least.
He turns logic upside down to make himself out to be the victim. If this was a made up story I would say it’s too far fetched. Nobody in real life is as cynical and malevolent to act as he does and claim it’s okay, are they? I continue to be shocked by every instalment of this saga.
Is Leah Remini aware of what an odious person she has been helping to promote? Still “no comment” from Paul Grundy either. Grundy was crucial in LE’s. To say nothing about all this is a complete copout.

It looks like he has decided to quietly drop it. If so, it would be a rare flash of insight on his part to stop digging the hole deeper.
