In my locality it seems like all the KHs have both Spanish and English speaking congregations. Also the last time I looked at the District Convention schedule for Northern California there seemed to be almost as many Spanish Conventions as English.

Hi IT,

The information you requested is found on page 1567 of the Olin Moyle transcripts. Moyle's attorney asked Isaac F. Hoskins, a former Watch Tower director: "Were you present at any meeting when there was a discussion about a thousand dollar loan to Mr. Rutherford?"

Hoskins: "In the summer of 1915 Mr. Rutherford had withdrawn from the active work and wrote a letter to Pastor Russell asking if the Society would loan him a thousand dollars, that he was about to set up a law office in Los Angeles. Pastor Russell recommended to the Board that it be loaned him, and so the motion was passed in his favor."

.

if you do pray, will you use the name that's above all other names....says the watchtower.. if not, what name do you use?.

Athanasius

Even the Witnesses admit that "Jehovah" is not the correct pronunciation of the Divine Name. Most scholars favor Yahweh as the preferable, if not the correct pronunciation. However, the prayer Jesus taught his followers to pray is the "Our Father Prayer" (Lord's Prayer).
