  You can hear this song at http://www.linkinpark.com/index.php

  About half way down the left hand side....hit "play" and then keep hitting the "next" button until the song "numb" displays and plays.

  Rutherford and William Jennings Bryan

  by VM44 in

  does anyone know where it mentioned that rutherford was involved in william jennings bryan's presidential campaign(s)?

  also, i recall reading that rutherford said bryan was god's choice as president for the usa!

  if that was so, then it is very strange that bryan was never elected president!.

  Penton mentions on page 47 that Rutherford was attracted to Bryan's "populist ideals" and footnotes to page 348 that Rutherford actually campaigned for Bryan.

  I forgot to mention the Thomas' English Muffins which were available for free...day(s) old stuff...but free.

  On one family night skit they did a "101 Things to do with the Thomas' English Muffins" skit. Quite funny.

  Door stops, mini-pizzas, etc...

  I loved it.

  As Blondie said, one could "glean" food they wanted to eat and if something was not too good you could eat the leftovers.

  The cheesecake and other desserts were exceptional, IMHO.

  For most of my stay our table was a joke... breakfast and lunch were assigned seating and supper was open seating.

  Comments from "30 Years a Watchtower Slave" that surprised me.....

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i had begun to read schnell's book when we first left - but in the 'fresh out of the borg' mental state, i had found it too caustic.

  now i am reading it and find it quite interesting due to the time frame - in judge rutherford's era.. one of the premises that he states repeatedly in the book, took me by surprise.

  i would be curious if any could confirm/deny the reality of his accusations here.

  I placed it into a PDF, size = 19.95MB

  If anyone would like it e-mailed, and you think your ISP can handle a 19.95 MB e-mail, PM and I'll send it.

  Another option would be to quarter it.

  Thanks Nathan.

  Could you upload the file to savefile.com or another free hosting site? They take files up to 60MB.

  That would be great but if that's not possible, I'll try to scan it within a week or two.
