Has the penny dropped yet?
I believe Dr. Gillette and Dr. Teller have issued monographs on this very important subject. Or a Youtube video. Whatever.

It's in medicines, for heaven's sake! Corporations use it in their operations, and pump it right into streams!

having problem pasting this...
By the way, just to show you how utterly tacky I dressed, You see me in the gold suit in the center, which was my main and probably only suit for 2 years, starting with pioneering in San Luis Obispo in 1974 to around 1976 at Bethel.
RIP dear jacket, whereever you are!
Never mind the jacket -- look at those ties! But yeah, what were they thinking in the '70s? Especially those plaids.

google books now has up russell's book: the divine plan of the ages and the corroborative testimony of the great pyramid.
it's a special edition that combines volume 1 of studies in the scriptures with the chapter from volume 3 on the great pyramid.
i believe this edition dates from about 1912 or so.

Sorry. I didn't mean all "Jews" but Jewish money. I should have said, "it is already well know that Jews financed Russell..." Jews are associated with Freemasonry and it was B'nai B'rith that financed Russell! Russell bragged about not needing to collect money because he had wealthy backers. That's why Hitler focussed on JWs because they were connected with this secret Jewish money.
Oh deary me. Lawks. JCanon has not heard of the phrase "digging oneself out of a hole." It'll be bottomless in another post or two.

there's an article posted by william dalton at the andover townsman on steven t. byington, translator of the bible in living english.
there are some interesting tidbits about the man which i didn't know, including the fact that he was an anarchist!.
you might want to head over to the comboxes, because there's only me (with a neutral post) and a couple of rah-rah jw posts.
Hey, Cathy, I posted the same article under "NWT" as well as a commentary by Byington on what is wrong with the jw Bible.
Yeah, I didn't see it until after I posted this one, but I figured afterwards that between us we'd capture some interest in the topic. :-) Thanks for the link on Byington's opinion of the NWT.

I forgot to add that the author would appreciate any comments or additional information for a follow-up article.
Thanks,

something has been bugging me for years and years, and always bugged me when i was an active witness.
i've never mentioned it before and i've never seen it discussed.
like with a lot of other matters, i just assumed that this meant that i was missing something that everyone else understood.
I have often wondered if this might not be the true historical foundation for their teaching that Jesus died on a simple stake in the ground - is it possible that they did not even think this up on their own? Kind of like they recycled 1914 from the Adventists?
Much of the JW theology (soul sleep, anti-Catholicism, etc.) is borrowed from Adventism because that's the strongest influence Russell had when he was devising his system. Nothing is original to the JWs: not speculations on dates, not the stuff about the Great Pyramid, not the railing against "paganism" in other Christian denominations, not even its anti-Trinitarianism. Nada.
Their one big original thought, the preaching work, is original only in scope, not in kind. I do believe they could claim to be the first to have done it in a seriously organized fashion, rather than using the haphazard techniques of, say, the Baptists.

I really really like your website, BTW. I collect old Society literature (mostly Russell and Rutherford stuff), and I wouldn't be surprised if I've done business with you at some point or another. Dealing in old WT publications always seemed like a fun business to me, I just could never do it because I hate to part with anything really old or interesting, even if I've already got multiple copies. I liquidated most of my library on eBay after I DA'd and have been kicking myself for it ever since.
Thanks for the kind words. I'll bet we have run across each other before. You can email me at the address on my website if you want to talk about collecting.
I got rid of some of the magazines from the 1970s and later when I got married so as to cut down on the amount of stuff I had to move. I, too, kicked myself later. I'm just thankful I held onto the books and booklets! I'm still looking for early ZWT, Russell, and Rutherford stuff for my own collection, too. I already have quite a bit.
