beginning in late winter or early spring, 1993 .

after we moved into the motel on el norte pkwy, i realized right away that it was going to be extremely difficult to cover our living expenses, since the monthly motel bill for our room would use up the greater part of the afdc check, which included our food allowance.

we?d have little more than 100 dollars for groceries, laundry, personal necessities, and transportation.....i became more and more depressed.

the whitewashed history of the watchtower society in nazi germany.. the man who became leader of the german branch of the watchtower society after the war is without exception portrayed as a beacon of virtue and faith, standing fearless against the nazis:.

*** w89 5/1 12 jehovah has sustained me as a friend ***.

many of the loyal ones, among them erich frost and konrad franke, who suffered much for the lords sake and later became branch overseers in germany, returned alive from the fiery furnace of persecution.. .
