Mr. Coffee

by RayPublisher in

does anybody remember the old apostate guy they called mr. coffee?

back in the late 80s when i was at brooklyn he would dress in a suit, have a book bag, and come and stand in front of the 124 bldg or sometimes over by the towers hotel.

he'd easily put in auxillary pioneer hours.

Elderelite - Yes, the laundry boys used to talk about it- they hit him lafter all! He would stand for hours and hours, day after day when I was there. My room was in the 124 bldg and I remember being sick one day and he was there all day long it seemed, bellowing, "Slaaaaaaaave!" as I tried to sleep.

Also I recall there being a story about how a businessman went walking by (NOT a Bethelite but dressed well) and he started in on him, calling him a slave and a sucker and then the guy hauled off and punched his lights out.

Whatever happened to John Joseph May, Irish former JW

by RayPublisher in

he found christian freedom after leaving the wt.

he flew to bethel in 1981 to try and speak with the govenrning body but they refused.

he went to alabama and spoke with peter gregerson and ray franz and found out the truth about the truth.

Thanks Blonide. The link is corroborative evidence that there was such a brother and he did go to Brooklyn. I was just hoping that someone knew what he was doing or could recap more of what he did after this time. But it sounds like he did what the rest of us have done or are trying to do- be a good person and help others after leaving the slavery of the WT. There is also a youtube clip of him being interviewed around this time as well.

And the WT truck that bumped into him was called "The Coffee Creamer". I heard he sued them for some $$$ over that one.

He found Christian freedom after leaving the WT. He flew to Bethel in 1981 to try and speak with the govenrning body but they refused. He went to Alabama and spoke with Peter Gregerson and Ray Franz and found out the Truth About the Truth. His testimony is so encouraging and his story compelling.

Is he still alive? What has he been doing? I'd bet that many of us would love to know. I WOULD!

A link to his story is below:

Strange e-mail from Romania

by jakes in

i received this strange e-mail from romania.

to worship god in spirit , it means to have the understanding of his word , in spirit .

what is the truth ?

RayPublisher

Jakes - I have swapped emails with Rus Virgil a few times and and he is a very nice and humble brother. His English is not that good (as you gathered) but he is very sincere IMO. Sometimes he makes a lot of sense, and others times it's difficult for me to understand what he means. He definitely is a deep student of the Bible.

School for Congregation Elders

by C.O.B.E.Beef in

jw
friends

i attended the school late last year, and it was an emotional and mental rollercoaster for me.

i was already divided in my heart to say the least.

one of the instructors stayed in my home for the week, and my family genuinely enjoyed his company.

RayPublisher

COBE BEEF - I was squirming in my chair at school also- But it was my LAST. I stepped down a few months ago, feel so much better, and haven't been to a meeting in over a month. It gets easier bro and we have to remember "who we go to" - Jesus Christ, not "where", ie, men. (John 6:68)

Crisis of Conscience - The Movie

by cedars in

i know... how cool would that be??!.

having just commented on the post by trailerfitter about the situation with his wife, and how i have personally found the book crisis of conscience by ray franz to be the perfect antidote to the society's perception of itself as being god's earthly organisation, the thought occurred to me: what if there was a movie about ray franz and his life?

obviously the society would be in uproar, and letters would be read out to all congregations all over the world not to go and see it, but just imagine!

@Cedars - Fantastic idea- I am interested in helping and I have done small films before. There is also the scheming and hidden agendas of certain GB members, sympathetic figures such as Swingle. Vignettes of Witnesses being beaten and murdered in Malawi, others having their family destroyed, dying from no blood, no transplants, kids going to jail bc they wouldn't accept alternate service, etc. ...PM me if you can.

------------

Scene 1a: JW family going door to door walking a street w bookbags circa 1977 (3-5 seconds)

Scene 2a: GB "backroom" meeting, same time period. Round table bickering and snide looks from Jaracz and Henschel as 2/3 majority cannot be reached on alterrnate service.

Scene 3a: Young brother being sentenced and led away in handcuffs.

Scene 4a: African family being rousted out of their home at 3am, father being beaten in front of family, Soldier holding up political party card.

Scene 1b: Father and young son at door giving friendly, excellent presentation to householder,smiling and sincere.

Scene 2b: GB meeting continues, break is taken, several whispering off to side outside room about how the rank and file cannot be allowed to decide their own conscience. "Let's get to governing!" quote from Suiter (slightly out of time index but still authentic)

Scene 3b: Brother in cell writing letter back home talking about how he is rejoicing for being perecuted for righteousness sake.

Scene 4b: More terror in Malawi.

Scene 5a: Cut to bribe taking place in Mexico...

Scene 6a: A Bible study group at Bethel, with Ray and others discovering what the Scriptures really say about Jesus, how all Christians must partake of the emblems. The joy, dampened by whispered worries as how to proceed and is they could perhaps change things and get the Society on the right track.

on and on and on...

@NRFG - I hate to say it but you might be right. The last thing we want is to dishonor his legacy and be hateful. That said, I think the audience may be larger than you think- The "Faith and Spirituality" genre is quite popular among Christians, and done correctly, many would eat it up since some churches devote significant portions of their ministering to ones trapped in cults. Can anyone say Passion of the Christ? It wouldn't be that big, but it could go someplace if funding was secured from some of these richer Churches to do it properly. Just my opinion!
