This former Kingdom Hall is now a Hindu Swaminarayan Temple! To the far right of the picture, the two tower pillars are obvious by the red and green flags.

1970's Russell Pyramid Photo!

1970's photo of the russell pyramid.

the picture was sent to us by a former bethelite who was also the person who took the picture.

of course, the pyramid is not there anymore.. .

It was 1973 and in those days the sisters wore their dresses a little higher than today, I guess. And you are right, talk about idolatry! Worship of a man who was one of the best con-artists in history.

Freeorange:

It looks as if half the congregation was there and some of the others were standing in different places. Looks like everyone had one purpose and that was to honor a man they thought was still directing things on earth from the grave.

Religion, what a snare and a racket!

hi friends, i have not been on this board in awhile, and i would like to get some thoughts from some of you.

i have noticed a change within my 4 siblings in approximately the last year and a half to 2 years regarding their communication with my mother and i. they have either phoned us, texted, emailed, or written a letter or card to us.

the conversation has been good, and on any topic that comes to mind.

I know JW's who will tell an Elder to his face (You are "not" telling me that I can not associate with my son or daughter or relative. They are my blood take your rules and ram them up your ass!)

I know a sister right now who has told her JW husband that she will tell an elder those very words if an elder starts any crap with her. The husband prays that they will not get a shepherding call, because his JW wife visits with her disfellowshipped daughter all the time.

There are JW's out there who ARE NOT going to be told that they can not associate with their loved one. Period!

The 2023 October Elder Manual has this to say about associating with disfellowshipped and disassociated people.

The two words to look for are: Nonrelative and Relative
If a person associates with a "relative" who is disfellowshipped he or she would not qualify for privileges, but a judicial meeting would "not" be needed, unless there were spiritual conversations going on or fault of the elders was being discussed about the relative being disfellowshipped.
Since JW's know this they are contacting their disfellowshipped relatives occasionally.
A Nonrelative would have different rules and regulations.
