This is from the 1932 Yearbook. Evidently, "Jehovah" renamed them "Jehovah's Witnesses" in 1918, but forgot to tell the Judge until 1931. Don't you hate it when that happens?

Vestigial traits in humans. We have several. Here is a non-scientific article about some of them. The third eyelid is the most interesting to me.

When did Watchtower writings start becoming anonymous?
by Wild_Thing ini think most people know that authorship was credited in the old watchtower literature, but at some point everything became anonymous.
i still do not know exactly when this started, but i found this in charles taze russell's last will and testament.
his will was not honored in other respects, so i doubt they would have honored this request.

I was asking out of curiosity.
I don't think the Watchtower articles should be anonymous at all. JWs need to know that Joe Schmo is writing their article and "God's organization".

No Bible = No God?
by menrov insome doubt about the bible completely, some partially.
what if the bible turns out to be a product of humans, nothing divine.
would you still believe in a creator?.

People believed in gods long before the Bible was every written. I suspect that whether the Bible came into circulation or not, this would still be the case.

I have never heard of Angels and Women. Was it a significant book in Russell or Rutherford's time?
Without knowing what the book is about, I will say that I have read about many women writing things and either using a male pseudonym or giving it no authorship at all. That could be a possibility in this case.

Calling All Watchtower Historians ... What was the V.F.V.?
by Wild_Thing inin the may 27, 1942 edition of the consolation, the watchtower society devoted several pages to the controversy surrounding the burial of joseph rutherford.
in several sections, they write about "the opposition" in vague terms without much specificity as to who these other groups of people were who were supposedly persecuting them.
one section refers to a group called v.f.v.

I was kind of hoping that the VFV was some sort of secret apostate group from the '40s!

Does anybody know if there are any other religions or cults that insists on their published works being anonymous? Now that I have been away for so long, it seems like it should be such a red flag to the discerning eye.

In the May 27, 1942 edition of the Consolation, the Watchtower society devoted several pages to the controversy surrounding the burial of Joseph Rutherford. In several sections, they write about "the opposition" in vague terms without much specificity as to who these other groups of people were who were supposedly persecuting them. One section refers to a group called V.F.V. that petitioned against the burial, so my question is ... what was V.F.V.?
From Consolation, May 27, 1942:
Just how a man’s bones, buried without monument or even conspicuous marker, in the center of 100 acres of land, a half mile from the closest outside house, could disturb anyone is left for the commission to explain. The V.F.V., who petitioned against the granting of the permit, prejudicially explained it this way: “Judge Rutherford, during his lifetime, taught intolerance,” and, ‘therefore, as a manifestation of our “tolerance”, we do not wish him buried.’
