in the golden age goodies thread leolaia has posted two letters that were printed in the magazine written by rutherford, one in 1928 and the other in 1938. in both letters rutherford states either that radio "was created by god" or "no man invented radio".. rutherford also goes into his conspiratorial ideas of how the roman catholic church was working with the nazis to overthrow the governments of england and of the usa to bring in a totalitarian fascist government to both countries.. these remarks sound like the ravings of someone who is not mentally all there.. so the question that naturally arises is this: was rutherford mentally ill?.

i believe that he was.. --vm44

Judicial Committee on tape ... one of my favorites

this is a judicial meeting recording from the mid-80's, where rick and laverne townsend were brought up on charges of apostasy.

listen to the calm manner in which they refute the elders (especially 607 and 1914) and how the elders get evasive and dodge questions and pretty much bring up nothing biblical.

what is the meaning of life?

context is everything.

when we say this means this; we are really invoking cause and effect.. life, you must admit, is a small four-letter word.

officials say one of the parents -- marbely or denis meza -- killed the children.

denis meza was arrested july 16 on charges of sexually abusing his very own daughter and was ordered to have no contact with her after he moved out of the home in may.

"i try not think too much about what happened in marbely's house before it was set on fire," she said.
