i just obtained a cd of movies and slides of the photo-drama of creation.
it has movies of russell talking and some movies of bible themes.
then there's a narrated slide presentation that appears to match the text of the photo drama book.
I have a chapter in PDF (893kb) that examines the Photo-Drama as a propaganda piece:

I wrote this in an old paper:
"The production ran a total of eight hours and was shown in four different two-hour parts."
"Arguably one of the first motion pictures with sound, The Photo-Drama of Creation was a unique combination of a silent motion picture and still pictures synchronized with recorded lectures. Some of the sequences involved time-lapse photography. The content outlined history from God’s creation of the earth to the end of the millennium. All seats were free of charge. The production ran a total of eight hours and was shown in four different two-hour parts. There were twenty sets of the four-part presentation that enabled the presentation to be viewed in 80 different cities on one day. This required much organization as halls had to be rented, the presentation advertised, etc. The

the june 6, 2006 boe porn letter is up on the web at reexamine.org.
it is in a jpg format right now.. i wonder how it got up there...
Can someone help me know how to work with JPG to get it to a printable size and format?
Try placing it in a MSWord file or PowerPoint. Also, most operating systems allow you to print a JPG and supply a wizard to walk you through.
As I mentioned above, I have it in PDF but ...on dial-up, 3MB might take a while.

I was unable to find it on the site, other than via your hyprtlink?
I placed the JPEGs into a PDF (3 MB).
If someone would like the PDF e-mailed to them, PM me your e-mail address.
good morning to all,

has this been posted by anyone else?
Has this been hosted somewhere?
Please and thank you.
my brother, who is an elder, called my father on father's day.
he has never called him on father's day before.
has there been a change in the jws attitude toward father's day or was it just a coincidence?
Blondie and Warlock,
I was always the one who ate turkey on Thanksgiving ("it's only a meal"). It is doubtful that my brother is softening but ...not impossible.
I have not spoken with him for 15 years or so ....we all know the drill as to why.
My non-JW siblings report him as being as smug as ever so...who knows.
Thanks for the information.
He may have honestly forgotten it was Father's Day....but I wanted to check with the experts here. :-)

just curious--is anybody here knowledgable in how much time the various governing body members spend "sharing in the field ministry" after they are appointed?
specifically, going door to door?
i'm just curious, after happening on the following quote from randy's website: .
I've seen Martin Pötzinger out in service while he was on the GB. He would engage in "street work" at a local subway station. I'm in NYC fairly often and when I see JWs doing street work they usually have a "display" and are talking to each other. Only if someone approaches them will they witness. Pötzinger would yell out the title of the Watchtower articles and generally make himself known far and wide. I've seen George Gangas engage in street work also while he was on the GB. I think he scared many, though, as he walked kinda' slumped over and he had a fairly heavy accent... :-)
