  Watch. 1954 p.511 "Why do Watchtower books now show Jesus with short hair and no beard? ...because he is shown that way in representations of him that are older then the traditional effeminate looking pictures."

  Watch. 1968 p.286 "Bible evidence and a recent review shows that Jesus did have a beard."

  I know a brother who was never given any privledges becuase he had a beard and refused to get rid of it. Also one Elder was going on the building committe overseas so he dicided to shave his big mustouche off as he said at the meeting "not to stumble any of the brothers."

  Golden Age 10/25 1933 p.57 "Infeebled constitutions, inherited from fashionable mothers, cannot stand up under tobbaco..."

  Yes only weak, momma's boys,don't smoke! Good medical advice? Watch 2000 10/1 p.29 tells us that this same editor Clayton Woodworth in 1951 had his voice box removed due to Cancer brought on by years of smoking. Just months later in Dec 1951 he died.

  Clayton was a strange fellow, when visiting Brothers he would speak of himself in the third person calling himself "The Canvasser" {Yearbook 85 p.228} E.g "The Canvasser delivered his speach today." Wierd! He didn't like terms such as church, religion, elder...so "The Canvasser" was his title. He hated doctors, check it out.

  G.A 1931 8/5 p.727 "Medical science grew out of egyptian black-magic, and has not lost it's demonic character." In Faith on the March p.188 Brother Mcmillan speaks about a group of brothers in prison during WW 2 who refused to take their vaccinations, and were sent to solitary confindment. He convinced these scared Witnesses it was safe by first vaccinating himself. Why the fear?

  G.A 10/12 1921 p.17 "Vaccinations never prevented anything...it is a barbarous practice."

  G.A 1/21 1923 p.214 "Rabies vaccine...when it has been shown there is no such thing as rabies...it's a mental hoax...vaccine is the most unhygienic, barbaric, filthy, abhorant, and most dangerous...causing ulcers,syphilis, T.B, cancer, insanity, death."

  G.A 1/16 p.250 - 8/25 p.751 1926 "It has never been proven that a single deaseas is caused by germs...it is caused by fermentation and heat...not germs..."

  G.A 2/10 1926 p.310 "Air baths are good for preventing colds...what you do is strip naked in the morning and bob up and down for awhile."

  CONS. 12/1 1937 p.12 "In L.A a youth choked a woman of 75...he claimed the urge to kill came from a serum innoculation."

  GA 2/4 1931 p.293 "Vaccinations are a violation of God's eternal covenant made with Noah...is a connection between vaccinations and the spread of demons and immoral sex."

  Even in the 1940's McMillan knew vaccinations were okay, as did Franz and Knorr. Out of respect for Woodworth they waited till afew months after his death to kill his pet project. in Watch 1952 p.764 "Vaccinations...Our society cannot afford to be drawn into the affair legally, or take responsibilty for the way the case turns out...It is NOT a violation of the covenant with Noah...has no relationship to iter-marriage of Angelic Sons of God with the daughters of men...not same as...sexual mingling of humans with animals...it has nothing to do with sex relations.

  So embarrased were these men by Woodworths ramblings they changed the name of the Magazine to Awake to further distance themselves from his right-wing theories.

  japan since the 1970''s has had amazing publisher increases!

  every year the number of witnesses shot up by many thousands.

  this peaked in 1998, since then the number of witnesses and congregations has continued to drop!.

  Mexico and Italy have also gone flat! They were booming years ago. Now not much boom left in any contries. It will be hard to get over the 7 Million publisher mark. It used to take only 3 years per million!

  many years ago i knew an elderly woman who lived on popcorn and barley grass.

  her mantle was covered with pictures of children, all in nice frames.

  the photographs were xeroxed--not even a real print.

  In a will, a pioneer sister I know was given an expensive block of land by her rich elderly bible study. The family protested so she gave a "Witness" and signed it over to them. They were very grateful. This may happen alot.

  let me begin by saying that i never expected to even talk about my situation let alone discuss it on the internet but i guess im just feeling so sad that i must hope that someone will understand and give me encouragement...so here it goes.. .

  but the more active i got, the more abusive my stepmother became.

  ironically, he sent my stepmother to the wedding.
