Source of Direct Contribution for Rutherford's House, Beth Sarim
by VM44 in

this is a question i have had for over 13 years, since i first found out that rutherford had a house, named beth sarim, built for him in san diego.

where did the money come from for the 100 acres of land the house was situated upon, and for the design and construction of the house?

in the proclaimer's book, it is said that a "direct contribution" was made for the house.

lu:21:25: and there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring i was wondering if anyone has come across any pictures of weapon damage, not just automatic hand gun damage but large potential impact damage from something like aircraft weapon damage.

the reason for wanting such a picture is to compare ground impact damage and illustrate the hypothesis that this weapon ground damage has a symmetry like this ground impact damage.

Do you know the passage?
by FieryIce in
1. watchtower
2. bible
an interesting question, the saints, the holy ones, if they are aware of their calling and choose to not follow for what ever reason, life or family pressures, what are the reprecussion for that called one?.

i was sure i had read a passage that stated the called one that turned away would loose the gifts yet still have their name remain in the book and i thought i read another passage stating the called one that turned away, then turned back again was not allowed and would have their name removed from the book.. the closest i have come to finding these passages is heb.

6:6 and there is john 15:6 but both passages are not quite what i was looking for.

Which bible Translation is best?
by NikL in
1. watchtower
2. bible
this one is for those on this board that continue to read the bible.

i know there are many on here that dont.

i still do, though not very often, and i dont accept everything written as straight from the mouth of god.. one thing i discovered after leaving the witnesses was that the bible is actually an interesting document and not some terribly difficult tome that must be explained every step of the way.
