Dedicated to the memory of my Father, who while dying
said to me, "Son, have we been wrong in our religion?"
Dedication by W.J. Schnell to his father, Thirty Years a Watch Tower Slave.
What a way to go ... too bad he didn't have our opportunities.
Your thoughts?
Thanks,

CC,
Schnell's book is one of my favorites. Schnell was no scholar and he admitted it. His story is raw and bitter. He had some wacky ideas, like the WTS was the Mark of the Beast.
That being said, Schnell worked with Rutherford in both Germany and the US and tells stories about that man that no one else has.

bttt for karter
in the 50,60s ?, while pioneering, I received this book from an UNDER GROUND ANTI-WT Freedom fighter as a gift, read it, but because my of blinders, it did not light my curiosity fires then.
I remember he gave some insights into WT BtS finances.

In the early 60's I mentioned to the lady who studied with me,
that I heard rumours about "30 yrs a slave" book, and
wanted to read it! Oh boy did she react
>
She went on & on about it being an evil slave book, & would
ruin my faith & I'd die at armageddon along with my kids bla bla!

Needless to say I didn't get to read it!(shoot)Wasted my life!

This brings to mind how easy it would be today, to just look it
up on google ... whereas,.. where would I look for it in 1960??
Take care coco
