big, blue-eyed judge joseph frederick rutherford, 60, lives in a ten-room spanish mansion, no.
4440 braeburn road.
My parents were baptized during Rutherford's reign, so I was raised with stories of him. We live in Southern California and on any given trip to San Diego we drove by the house. I don't remember my dad telling about the "princes", but I do remember very well it was Rutherford's house. I felt very similar to this Time article even as a little girl when hearing about Beth Sarin, "yeah...whatever."
Nice find Terry.

Wow I just watched Andrew’s last video on the Lloyd Evans affair and I think I’m in love. Just kidding.
Great observation and takeaways on the cult of personality. I hope LE loyalists listen to his words and think about what he says.
For those wondering about Javier, he has a beautiful wife and family and is busy with them and his own creative life.
sorry if this has been discussed before but on quora someone asked if rutherford had said that dinosaurs had been taken to venus .
i assume that the questioner had heard it somewhere and wanted to check it out.
i've never come across this before is it true ?
Wow! That's a new one to me! My parents were baptized in 1938, and I thought I had heard all the fakakta things this religion came up with. Goodness!
i am an inactive jw.
i havent been on this forum for a few months and have been lurking in others.
i have met a few people in real life and online, both on this forum and on others.
Well this was quite the "read" down memory lane! Thanks Slim. Good times lol.
Like I said earlier one of the best things that came out of this fiasco is the great friends I made from it. Fizzy wiglet and I were just messaging last night!
But wow, do you just see how LE digs his heels in and refuses to do the right things if it involves any compromise on his part! He is consistent if nothing else...

I will say it again, Lloyd Evans never disappoints. He does exactly what you think he will do.

Wow...step away for a few days and all sorts of stuff happens!
Welcome Kim! Thank you for your honesty and need to share the truth, I felt it in your video and letter. Yep, there is a whole bunch of us here that went through the "Lloyd Evans" experience early on, and had his number from the get go. He's played dirty from the start. Sad really, we are on the same side...
Sit back and relax, you have friends here.

Someone please send LE some cheese to go with that whine.
yes, i am posting again.
i could not for awhile technologically and it is now fixed thanks to simon.
thanks, simon!
Hi Blondie! So good to see you!
so last night my bible study group was discussing the healing of the blind man in john's gospel.
ch 9 .
the man's parents were reluctant to say much on the subject.
Of course l was struck by the similarity to the WT disfellowshipping someone. So it seems that they are following an old Jewish practice, who knew ?
Many/most orthodox religions follow a sort of excommunication. Some surprisingly similar to JW's.
There is a Netflix show called "Unorthodox" about the struggles of a young woman attempting to live her own life outside of the Hasidic community.
Another series filmed in Israel is "Shtisel". It is about an orthodox family. One of the things I learned from it is all TV, "worldly" literature/music etc. is forbidden. So as some things are different, the control issues are very much the same. **shiver**
