i was blown away when i found these watchtower records with rutherford on them.
these aren't the ones that were used door to door.
these are 16 inch records that were sent to radio stations to broadcast rutherford over the airwaves.
If you can figure out how to play them, please consider converting them to digital (mp3) and making them available to everyone. Lots of people would like to use them for research or just the fun of finding hidden "gems" of the old BS they used to put out.
After you do that, I'd bet the originals would fetch a tidy sum on eBay.

Alas, no Soup Herb for you!
my favorite jesus storya couple of years past retirement, i moved into a "retirement community" .
old folks home) which was convenient like a hotel.. once a week there would be a coffee and doughnuts meet and greet get-together so you would know who your neighbors were.. well .
.. i attended a few and missed a few.
Good story, Terry! Sometimes ya gotta go along to get along. In this case, it doesn't hurt anybody and you made a lot of old folks happy by "confirming" their delusion.
Could I interest you in an autographed 8 x 10 glossy of Moses?

Oh yeah, forgot to point out that the article got Rutherford's name wrong. It's not James Rutherford, it was Joseph Franklin Rutherford.
They also failed to state that his self-styled title of "Judge" was on the basis that he served as a temporary judge in a Missouri circuit for a few days. He was hardly the legal scholar he wanted people to think he was.

Like many others, I too wonder what happened to the Cadillacs. If anyone can come up with the VIN numbers, perhaps they can be traced. Wouldn't it be cool to actually have at least one of them in working order? I'm sure lots of us folks would chip in to make it happen if they still exist and we could find them.
Oh well, just another pipe dream that's more fun to imagine than it is practical.
Thanks for posting this, Terry! It was a great find.
do you remember some of the weird and wacky stuff emanating from the watchtower society?
let's make a list from memory that we can use to inject a little humor into our discussions with jehovah's witnesses.
- venus may be an enormous jurassic park.. - germs don't cause disease.. - no beards allowed.

If anybody has a good copy of the entire YouTube video linked above, please send me a PM or post a link so we all can enjoy it. Mine locks up at about the 3:26 mark.
in a recent article there was this experience from el salvador:.
"during the meeting, brother baltasar perla, sr., who later became a member of the branch committee, asked all the elders present to give him their government-issued identity cards.
he then informed the elders that their names and addresses would be included in a written request to the government for legal recognition... then explained to us that since our names and addresses would be in that document, if the authorities ever wanted to ban our work, we would be the first ones they would come after and the first ones to be thrown in jail.
A few years ago, the Borg required each congregation's elders to review their "excess funds" and consider "whether" these funds could be "donated" to the world-wide work.
Yeah, right. In actuality, they were being coerced into handing over those funds and to keep doing so if the congregation's balance ever got above about two months expenses. If any congregation balked, the elders were simply replaced with ones who would be more compliant cooperative. Sheesh! Talk about your strong-arm tactics. The Mafia could take lessons.

Hey, punkofnice! I don't know how active truthbookblues is nowadays, but his videos are still available on YouTube. Here's the link to the video you were talking about. Enjoy!
sorry if this has been discussed before but on quora someone asked if rutherford had said that dinosaurs had been taken to venus .
i assume that the questioner had heard it somewhere and wanted to check it out.
i've never come across this before is it true ?
"...some astronomers have advanced the idea that animals like the dinosaurs that once roamed this planet are now finding Venus a happy place in which to live.”
As usual, the WT leadership was very vague when "citing" a supposed expert to bolster their ridiculous claims. I will personally give $100 to the first person who can prove that even one peer-respected astronomer ever advanced the ludicrous idea that there are living dinosaurs on Venus.
What a load of BS!
