in the subject of "Scandals, Coverups, and JW Controversy"
she has been doing extensive research and this one of the topics.
"During my readings and investigations into the early beginnings of the socio-religio-political movement that the Jehovah's Witnesses emerged from, I had read a copy of a letter that Clayton J. Woodworth had written while he was in jail during 1918 - along with six others of the Watch Tower Society's leaders.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with who Clayton J. Woodworth was, there is quite a bit of information available on the internet concerning this man. Not only was he one of the founding editors of the Golden Age magazine, he also laid claim to being one of the authors of The Finished Mystery - the book that was published by the Watch tower Society in 1917 that landed Rutherford and his cronies in the Atlanta jail on sedition charges.
But back to Woodworth's letter.
At the end of the copy of Woodworth's letter, there is this note:...." So read her postings in there , she is really working on uncovering a lot.
he was a cuckoo
minimus: he was a cuckoo
You mean: Evidently, he was a cuckoo.
From the online Inflation Calculator we can see how much $3,600 in 1906 would be worth in 2012.
Clayton J. Woodworth made a salary of $90,581!
And also keep in mind that in 1906 there was no Federal Income tax!
What cost $3600 in 1906 would cost $90581.54 in 2012.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2012 and 1906,
they would cost you $3600 and $146.08 respectively.
The May 1892 issue of THE NATIONAL STENOGRAPHER mentions that Clayton J. Woodworth wrote an article entitled "The position he did nof fill" that was published in the April issue of The Phonographic World.
THE NATIONAL STENOGRAPHER, May, 1892, EXCHANGES AND REVIEWS, page 257
The April number of The Phonographic World is more than usually interesting. "A Record of typewriters" is continued and presents cuts of the "New Vost," the Munson and the Columbia. There is also shown a cut of the old "No. 1," which has a place in our recollection as we purchased one of the first lot that was sold in Chicago. The following articles are quite interesting: "Comparisons are Odious," by F. E. Shrimpton; "The artistic in shorthand," by F. O. Hamilton; "Right fingerboarding for thought-roads," by M. M. Campbell, octogenarian; "The position he did not fill," by Clayton J. Woodworth.
