Do you recall someone buzzing ( plane) during the construction? lol funny.
Donny, I was at that meeting where Ralph Deal gave that talk. I do recall that him saying that. It does not take much to freak out FB, however.

Shunned by the world, then by the JWs and then shunned by Theists, when does this end?
by cyberjesus inwhen i was a jw i always hide my jw status to people of the world because i was taught that we were hated by satan and his world.
and indeed in school i experienced being ostracized by my religious beliefs and everytime i had to take a stand not saluting the flag i was the object of ridicule.. then when i left the jw now i am shunned by my family by taking a firm posture on my beliefs or disbeliefs.
now i am ostracized by my own jw family because i dont go along their set of doctrines.. now that i have abandoned any religious belief altogether feel how most people who dont believe in a god are ostracized from the majority of the populations.

That is so true, Terry. So many of us were made to whimper and grovel to be accepted by the super righteous jws. Now I find that many of the churches are just as judgmental. I don't hate the Bible, I just want to be able to be able to read and consider whatever I please. Maybe I am asking too much. I will keep on though, b/c I could never fit in with jws. They have too many rules.
Actually, being a secular jew is pretty good, just say shalom and show up for the holy days if you please.

I understand also. I live in the Bible Belt and it is miserable here. I like the Bible but the religions around here are very legalistic , a lot like Jws. The church of christ can get downright mean. If you do not attend church somewhere around here you are judged to be a very bad person. We do have a growing Metaphysical community but they are shunned by the majority.
There must be some place to live where a person is not held hostage by the churches.

That was a very interesting call. Tony Jones, (LMS) Ralph Deal (MIA) and Wessley Ruddell ( rip) are brave men. That is putting your money where your mouth is. Sounds like they may have ( in the end) lost the KH by default, ie the poor guys were just out gunned. WTS has all kinds of lawyers and they were 4 to begin with, then there were 3--men against a corporation run by lawyers.
Tony mentioned at the end that there were some papers from a lawyer but they more or less ignored them, due to it sounds like growing weary /disinterest and lack of funds. The hall was sold and so someone did get the title away from our brave elders -who the judge said were the rightful owners.
This was kept so quiet that even members of the cong- which btw was pretty small- did not know what was going on. Elders in the Dallas area knew b/c Deal was fairly well known and they traded speakers . I attended a meeting once at Bonham and recall the speaker going off topic and heavens, they used the Bible . I was floored and perked right up and listened.That happened once at a book study and I was so inspired, someone actually was using the Bible to answer questions. I joined right in, not b/c I was an apostate, but b/c they were actually using the Bible.
I hope someone with an eye to a book wrtites this story. It's not be enough for an entire book, but would certainly be a chapter in kingdom hall takeovers, and other bizzare things that have happened in the org.
LMS- last man standing
MIA- missing in action

I'm listening to the six screens phone call now. A man named Frank Brown is talking about YHWH. If someone has heard this program, do they go on to talk about Bonham? Seems they have gotten off on something else.

It sounds like one of those jws urban legends. I'm no John Lennon expert but it is common knowledge John and the other Beatles were very involved with eastern mysticism . I just think it is a beautiful song --peace on earth.
