  Hey, I just found it (I hope this is the one you're looking for). It turns out the name was changed to Everybody's Paper, but this is vol. 2 # 1.

  Ummm the People's Pulpit Association was a corporation formed in 1909 to facilitate the move to New York. The name was later changed to Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.

  I wasn't aware of a periodical by that name.

  A Good Decade

  if you were really into the organization back in the 80's, you have to admit, that it was the peak of the organization.

  it was a time of high energy and excitement.

  like any nation, it reaches a peak and then it declines.

  Yes, I definitely agree that the 80's was the crescendo of a high for the org. The 90's really took a dip. The videos weren't of the same cinematic quality of the first few, but were made by television standards. The audio dramas went down the tubes drasticly. In the 80's we had the epic 'Egypt to the promised land' trilogy, with multilayered rich soundtracks, scores of skilled actors and full orchestra music, but the 90's dramas were basically cheaper than Disney channel shows with synthesized music, and cringe worthy acting. That decade also saw hardcover books replaced with softcover to save money, and many were made cheaper than they are today with a short life span and production defects. I'd say the next organizational high started in the late 2000's, and we're now cominh down from it starting last year.

  A great suggestion from a current Bethelite on the chopping block

  a very close friend of mine has gotten his letter.

  although he was planning to leave willingly, he told me that he can't help but feel a sense of being stabbed in the back by a bunch of self righteous traitors.

  he gave tours for years, always telling the visitors "this is the best way of life, i would never change anything here and i'll never regret making this decision to come here.

  I think that what especially helped the elder anology was when DJS said that he was just trying to 'help' Gilbeath, but he 'needed to let him'.

  I'm good at finding articles and researching. Blogs? No thank you. Discussion Boards and Forums? Nope. There appears to *be* no confirmation. I have searched before, last year when I heard the rumour, and at first, thought this thread was News. I checked again this evening. But there's nothing to be found.
  I have lots of time on my hands, so decided to do that. You're welcome.
  google is your friend.

  I always Google before asking others. And by confirmation I don't mean a notorized slip or the front page of a major newspaper, I mean just anyone else online who happens to be saying the same thing. (excluding the people I found on another forum who were merely theorizing).

  That article was written almost 2 years ago. I still would like some kind of confirmation if anyone can.

  Prince has been out for a couple years? I've suspected it from his artistic choices, but is there any confirmation? A link or anything?

  Anyway . . .

  I received my pm mentioned in the original post, and it's a decent idea. While in its original form it would take a very specific set of circumstances, the idea behind it is applicable to many of us, including many who are still in and need to stay in.

  You can take the man out of the kingdom hall but you cant take the Elder out of the man.

  
  Yeah, maybe. When he said 'I'm trying to help him but he needs to let me' on the last page, that's what it sounded like.

  DJS:

  Seriously? You now are an expert on his

  "life, career and relationships"

  This is so insulting and condescending. I'm truly embarrassed for you.
