i read this recently on the biblestudents.net forum:i know barbara, we use to talk on the phone, when she learned i was writing a history of pastor russell and the ibsa.
in the countless hours we spent on the phone.
Lady Lee,
Both the references (108 and 109) refer to the transcripts of record Russell v. Russell pages 10-17 and 117-127 respectively.
Have these transcripts been posted here yet? The claim that Maria co-authored the Volumes is an explosive one, imo.
Leolaia,
A literary analysis would be so interesting! The Pastoral Bible Student's online library has at least two of Maria's works.

i couldn't have done better myself-danny haszard
the commitment of jehovahs witnesses
witness: you mean to tell me that this is how they have people like you telling people in the cayman islands that jesus was never a christian?.
What is the definition of the word "Christian"?

bttt hoping to hear from Barbara
i realise that there are many reasons for people leaving the org and some are very sensitive and difficult to discuss.
but i was wondering how many people, if they really think about it, were finally broken by the sheer workload as a jw.
someone replied to my thread yesterday (page 2), and discussed the average week for most jw`s.
The JW workload was tough but it would have been as light as a feather if the GB put their money where their mouth was. If they were just honest and lived as they told us to live and if they loved as Jesus said they should.
Hypocrisy and lies eventually makes a load unbearable.

while traveling down thru new england, i happened across one of the new district convention "invites".. how dumb can the watchtower society get?
for the moment, let's ignore the fact that they expect people to drop everything.
within a radius of one, two or even three hundred miles and attend an inner city convention over a weekend.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
does the theory of evolution supply the genetic answer to the self-sacrificing nature of many animal parents as well as that of many men and women in general?
when a man or woman risks their life to help someone in danger is their response simply a response to the natural processes at work due to evolution's effect on their dna?
if so, can this self-sacrificing gene be isolated?
Thanks for the replies!

Barbara,
I read this recently on the biblestudents.net forum:
I know Barbara, we use to talk on the phone, when she learned I was writing a history of Pastor Russell and the IBSA. In the countless hours we spent on the phone. She revealed to me that she was going to write a biography of Br. Russell and that it was not going to be "pretty". She claims Russell was a womenizer, and that he mistreated his wife Maria. That he didn't write the Studies in the Scriptures, but that maria Russell did, and so forth. We stopped talking after she realized I was not writing an anti-Russell book, but was interested ONLY in the facts.

This is fascinating! It is true that you believe Maria Russell wrote the Studies in the Scriptures? If so, could you share some of your thoughts on that?
Thanks,
IW
the real reason why jehovahs witnesses refuse blood transfusions
jehovahs witnesses say that their refusal to accept blood transfusions is based on what the bible says about blood.
they refer to acts 15:20 where it says, "abstain from blood," and reason that transfusing blood is not abstaining from blood.. but what the bible says about blood is not the real reason why they refuse blood transfusions.
Don,
Are you saying that if the Watchtower came out tomorrow with a letter to all the congregations telling them they could now take blood transfusions JWs would turn around and line up for them? Would you when you were a Witness? Interesting.

We are our genes, we are told.

i realize that alot of xjw's are hurting financially, especially if they have been fighting the watchtower.
what they do not grasp is that we can defeat the watchtower if we are united and help each other.
it is similar to a war.
Lawrence,
The Lawyers from the Watchtower Society HQ convinced my daughter that Arsenic and orange juice would cure her, arranged for her to be taken into hiding and fed her the Arsenic.
Was the arsenic given to your daughter before or after the Drs. had administered the treatments and blood transfusions they deemed necessary to save her life but which nontheless failed?
