I knew the man that died, Monty Hardy, from when I was a JW in Texas. He was a nice man. I think he went to Grapevine or Bedford congregation ... can't remember which. So sad he died while in service to the 'borg'.

Does anyone find it too painful to read the WTS publications?
by dissed inbeen out 13 years and even for research purposes, i find it way too painful to read this wt stuff.. and why?.
all the painful memories it brings back.
don't misread me, it has nothing to do with a guilty conscience.. it has to do with the real pain, the anger of being ripped off and lied too by the wts, the anger of seing how they have protected child molesters, sacrificed its followers by refusing blood transfusions, the treacherous way we and others were treated by the 'unloving brothers'.

The name was released today. I heard he shot himself in the bathroom. He torched the place and then ran to the bathroom to kill himself. Odd and tragic. He did go by Ed, so I assume his middle name is Edward. http://www.kansascity.com/news/breaking_news/story/727229.html

Sisters with Kleenex on their head
by LearningMore inso, i keep hearing reference to this.
was this just taking place in really small congregations?
i mean, i know the philosophy behind it; my mom would put a hat on to pray in front on my "unbelieving" dad.

In the congregation I grew up in, Kleenex were only used as a last result when Dairy Queen napkins were not available! Then one year, the visiting circuit overseer put a stop to the practice and the ladies went out and bought a nice silk scarf to keep at the back of hall.
And I remember hearing Bethel being called "Mother" too. In fact there was a circuit overseer that even called it the mother ship. This was back in the early 80s.

Watching that made me sick and very angry! I cannot BELIEVE he likened going to college to someone putting a gun to their head and trying to kill themselves.
He told the "experience" of a man with obsessive compulsive disorder who attempted suicide by shooting himself. He survived and was cured of the OCD because of the part of his brain that the bullet pierced. He asked, "but would you recommend other people shoot theirselves in the head? Other people go to college and also survive, but would you recommend other people go to the college?"
How ignorant!! What is wrong with those people? Fifteen years ago they lightened the restrictions enough to where I was able to go to college, and now it seems like it is getting worse than it ever was when I was a kid. Good grief! My poor neices and nephews! Their only prospect for a career is cleaning houses and washing windows!
