Am I recalling this correctly? Ray Franz depicted in WT as dying at Armageddon?
by freddo ini seem to recall years ago that someone posted some watchtower "art" with a typical wiping out the wicked at armageddon scene - you know, city blocks crashing to the ground - guy with a gun, cars falling into crevices, and there was a middle aged guy with his eyeglasses/spectacles hanging off his face led dead in the foreground.. it was suggested that in this was supposed to be ray franz.
not in words but in what the character drawn looked like.
a sort of sick "in-joke" for schroeder and jaracz worshippers in the writing department.. am i dreaming this?

Mummy's (Mommy's) Boys - Old school Elders are mummy's boys.
by freddo inin the congregations i have been in there are many long time dyed in the wool elders who were the sons of women of a certain age.
let me explain - must you?
yes.. mom "finds the truth" (often because a loved one died in the war, or died when she was young and she bought into the nice ladies calling to offer the resurrection hope) sometime between ww2 and vietnam.

Governing Body Meeting today - Agenda item ... (speculation alert)
by freddo inopening prayer: (lett) dear heavenly father jehovah god please bless this meeting with your loving direction, in jesus' name amen.. morris the turd: well brothers we have a problem - 99% of the worldwide work figures are in; and those lazy slackers in the field have come up short so what are we going to do?.
sam turd err ... herd: get the circuit overseers off their behinds to tell the secretaries to phone every non-reporter and inactive publisher and "remind" them that they "must have" done some preaching in the last six months and offer them the "fifteen minute" option.. david ex-splane: and if that doesn't work let's introduce some overlapping figures from last year; it worked on the generation chart that i explained so well!
kenneth "give us our daily bread" flodin said so!.

Convicted Pedo and Rapist Ex-elder Mark Sewell on BBC Wales News
by freddo ini don't know how to put this up on the forum but if anyone goes to the bbc news website and clicks on wales/south east there is an interview with one of the victims of sewell who gave up her anonymity and who is decrying the cover up by elders she endured in cardiff wales.. this brave woman is interviewed for over two minutes - you can see all the watchtower bound volumes in her room.
it is dated july 3rd 2014.. i don't live in her area but typically this would have been on the local bbc news for south wales area including the capital, cardiff and so i reckon over half a million people might have seen the item broadcast.. if you can put it up on here please do.. .

hmmm, so i've got to present this pos so that i can stay in my board and lodging and get all the perks of being at the top of the organization in australia and my wife likes being queen bee around bethel and wants to see her mother in the resurrection poor deluded soul (or was she anointed i don't know it changes so often, if you're up there ma-in-law then thank you so very much for not interceding with jah and getting me off the hook) so i daren't say what i truly know to be true.
but i've got to look my brothers and sisters in the eye.
