Anyone know CO Gordon & Risi Lewis, used to serve North Carolina and NYC ?
by ShirleyW inthey may still be in raleigh, have no idea, before that they were in queens, ny area, in 1990's, last i heard they were in the raleigh area of north carolina, seemed like they were a couple that "knew what wazzup" with the borg, but since their room and board and car was paid for by the borg, hey, they had a good thing goin', .

Addendum . .Brenda's conf call tonite
by ShirleyW insince for somer reason i can't join the call and they are talking about suicide in the borg, i've known several dubs that took that route, the daniels family orignally from brooklyn, moved to queens, had a son, andre, that obviously was very worldly, clothes and hanging out (this was during the disco era) he was called into the back room, heard from quite a few that he cursed out the elders that were counseling him, however, he commited suicide, and of course his mother was saying in public (however, none of us know what was in her mind about losing her first born and only son) said "oh well, he didn't follow jehovah .
.sad commentary from a mother.
another family that endured suicide is the arthur goode family, last i heard they were in the poconos, had a very large family, one of their daughters whom i was told was quite popular and a pioneer, was learning the deaf hand language to use at the assemblies, pulled her car into the garage and let the engine run.

Furman building prime real estate
by ShirleyW infor those of us in the tri-state area, (ny, nj, ct) did anyone see in the new york post today the advertisement for i believe the number of the bldg.
was 360 not sure, but definitely on furman, it wasn't a photo but an artists rendering, and the picture even had that part on the top that had the sign "read the watchtower" on it, saying that they were ready to open for tenants in the spring, which we're already at.. the picture definitely looks like the old craptower bldg to me, any of you ex-bethtelites can confirm if that is indeed the bldg.
but what really bothers me (as if i didnt know is) just who's pocket did all of this huge real estate sale pockets does all this money go in, especially since previous posts state that they're pushing the same old' bs "tomorrow is the last day on earth" bs !

Something I remember from Tishie's Ex-Jub Board
by ShirleyW inonce again, it seems i only refer to things that us 50+ ex dubs would remember, (for the record, i just hit the big 5-0 last month myself) but i remember a co being mentioned on her board that committed suicide that served the cong i used to attend in jamaica, queens.. his name was bro.
catanzaro, had the most pleasant sounding voice, couldve made a fortune doing voice over work im sure.
i heard through the grapevine that he killed himself, and of course when i asked my mom, she made believe that she never heard that story, and surely a faithful servant of jah would never do such a thing!

Was jazz musician Ornette Colman JW ?
by ShirleyW induring his los angeles period, many wanted nothing to do with mr. coleman, a long-haired jehovahs witness dressed in clothes made by his wife.
in mr. cherrys description, he looked like some kind of black christ figure, but no christ anybody had ever seen before.. .
that's a quote from his obit in the new york times, the long hair and his looking lack christ thing is throwing me off, but the dubs are all a bit off anyway.

Hey Flipper set your DVR - Bigfoot Alert !
by ShirleyW intomorrow on the history channel there's a special called bigfoot: the definitive guide.. the picture that they used for this in the ny daily news which is supposedly bigfoot looks like a guy wearing a gorilla suit, when you look at his face, it definitely looks like some guy who glued hair all over his body and face, except for the eye area, his blue eyes are showing !.
