  On his death certificate,his status is married and his wife is named as Mary Rutherford. Where was she at this time and how come we never see or hear anything about her?

  Mary Rutherford died "on or about December 17, 1962 in California"

  Name: Mary M Rutherford
  
  Age: 61
  
  Estimated birth year: 1868-1869
  
  Birthplace: Missouri
  
  Relation to Head-of-house: Head
  
  Race: White
  
  Home in 1930: Monrovia, Los Angeles, California

  Now we know specifically that she lived in Monrovia, Los Angeles, (at least in 1930) and that she was the head of her own household. That fits with the fact that she was separated from "Judge" Rutherford.

  The census next gives information on her home status. It says that she owned her own house, her house was valued at $5000, and her house included a radio set.

  More could be found from the JWN archives.

  1969 "fact": You will never grow old in this present system of things

  by Ding in

  awake!

  "if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.

  because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

  I became a Law Enforcement Officer, after leaving the Borg. Upon trying to return (I was in some kinda of state of mine,lol) the elders relayed to me that I woud not be allowed certain privileges in the congregation. Now retired with a nice pension and benefits to match along with sharing war stories with other retired cops and anyone who would listen (lol), , I am only to glad I made the decision to not continue in the Borg.Good luck to your husband, outofthelionsden, and tell him for me to stay safe.

  Do you think "Blondie" is addicted to reading Watchtowers and Awakes?

  i remember when i was a "devout" jws i could not wait to get the new watchtowers and awakes from the wednesday nite theocratic ministry school.

  i would actually salivate thinking of the new information jehovah had in the magazines for us.

  i was "franatical" and i would go home still in my three piece suit and devour the magazines that very nite.

  Welllllllll what do you have to say now bookerT? Anyway keep up the good work Blondie! Great source of information I have received from your comments. My Parents are still in the Borg (50+ years) and when they call me (rarely) and make their comments on the Borg, I am always a few steps ahead of them which causes them to discontinue any further conversations on the Borg's teachings. Unfortunately their wish has always been for me to return to "da Truth".

  my father, (still an elder) has suprised me last week with a simple text message.

  "we (my mother & father) will be in your city this weekend, please come and have supper with us".

  i was delaying my reply, thinking of what to say, when he phoned.

  The Lamp book that I remember from the 60's was a yellow book, thin but a little taller than most of their books. It was the book with the 80 questions you went through before baptism. It was basically an early version of the 'organization' book. I am pretty sure it did not address any dates as described in the original post. dropoffyourkeylee

  I agree. I had to study the 80 or so question before my baptism in July 1972 from the "Lamp" book. At that assembly the "Organization" book was released. I recall no information about "1975" being recorded in the "Lamp" book.

  i have always had a love for martial arts (didn't know how to fight, just admire what the human body can do), but since jdub-land banned it, i just kinda forgot about it.

  i admire nate quarry (an 'apostate' mma fighter) and i have been boxing for a year now.

  i decided to switch over to muay thai.

  When I was younger I would sneak to Karate classes at the local community center(taught for free), because as a JW we couldn't participate in any Martial Arts. In the couse of my life I have studied Hapkido,Tae Kwon Do,and Fu Jow Pai / Tiger Claw Kung Fu. Now in my mid 50's ,I'm studying Tai Chi and love it!

  i was raised as a jw from the age of 7. i was df'd for apostasy in 1971 at the age of 23. it has been 42 years since i have had contact with any jehovah's witnesses, including my family.

  last year i moved to tucson.

  when i read that a district assembly was coming to town, and that it would be at the convention center only minutes from my house, i decided to check it out.
