by vienne in

i've uploaded two new-to-me newspaper articles about blunden to our history blog.. https://truthhistory.blogspot.com/.

can you help me locate a photo of blunden?.

I find him mentioned in:

Harvest Siftings II

Olin R. Moyle's appeal case against Watchtower et al

Trow's New York City Directory vol. XCIV. for the year ending May 1, 1881 he is listed

Blunden Simon O. clerk, h 443 E. 80th

Same listing for the New York Public Library color scan (better quality).

He wrote in to a news paper to publish a challenge:

The evening world. (New York, N.Y.), 14 Aug. 1894. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress. <http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1894-08-14/ed-3/seq-4/>

He then bumped up the challenge prize from $50 to $100!

The evening world. (New York, N.Y.), 11 Sept. 1894. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress. <http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1894-09-11/ed-3/seq-4/>

The Insurance Press No. 1,062 - Vol. XLII New York, Wednesday, January 12, 1916 pg 15 under New Jersey lists the payout from his life insurance policy at the time of his death.

New Instructions?

by FedUpJW in

i may have missed it, but i just heard from a local elder that there are "new" instructions for how the two one day assembly's are to be conducted and handled......fifty-nine pages worth.

he said they will now all be put on the same as the regional conventions.

did i miss that letter/orders from "mother"?

wifibandit

I have the Circuit Overseer Guidelines in Spanish (tg-S.jwpub) installed on my tablet and I don't see any new changes to Circuit Assemblies (CO and Branch Rep).

They have updated the Convention Organization Guidelines (CO-1-S) as of May 2017, but this is for Regional Conventions.
