ok i posted a couple weeks ago that my uncle was dying.

i just found out today that he passed away on february 28th (yeah i know, i'm always the last to know these things).. ok, here's the problem - his funeral is scheduled for march 15th.

they couldn't have it this saturday, apparently there is something going on at gillead and people that would be attending the funeral will be there instead.

Questioning Russell's background is gossip, so don't do it

so i attended the sunday meeting yesterday, and i saw an example of a preemptive strike against those questioning the borg's russel and rutherford.. after about 25 minutes of the talk of blah blah blah (i cannot even recall any details) the speaker concludes by saying (paraphrased):.

"there are those who wonder about the allegations made against russel and rutherford.

we do not know them, so isn't that gossip?

Vote for your favorite "celebrated JW scholar"!!

now, there are so many from which to choose...where is one to start?.

well, since i'm an old-timer, i must by default cast my vote for clayton j. woodworth, that inspired author and editor of the golden age who single-handedly warned the world about the dangers of aluminum cookware and vaccinations, among so many other things.. only once in a generation comes along a man with such inspired insights as to baffle the minds of mere ordinary humans..

I think Freddy F. wrote most of what I read back in the '70s so my vote goes to him, primarily for quaint word usage: "fornicatrix," "monkery." Oh, and for admitting under oath that he was incapable of translating the scriptures from their original tongues into English. And that presents a problem because now I'm voting for a scholar who obviously wasn't one.
