When Bruno Bettelheim committed suicide in l990 at the age of 86 he had a towering and broadly based reputation: ...Within weeks of his death, however, this reputation appeared to be in danger.
Interesting findings. But I find it strange that they had to wait until he was dead at age 86 and could no longer defend.

The article claimed that inmates who were Jehovah's Witnesses were sustained by their faith, never lost their dignity and never sank to the depths of human degradation to which the thousands of other prisoners were forced.
Do you know which article this refers to?
It could be WT 1992 1/2:
"In concentration camps, the Witnesses were identified by small purple triangles on their sleeves and were singled out for special brutality. Did this break them? Psychologist Bruno Bettelheim noted that they "not only showed unusual heights of human dignity and moral behavior, but seemed protected against the same camp experience that soon destroyed persons considered very well integrated by my psychoanalytic friends and myself."
If that is the article it is not a statement of the WTS but a quote by Psychologist Bruno Bettelheim.

So I wouldn't expect to find any Schindlers, Ten Boons,etc. in the ranks of the Witnesses. They were trying to save themselves.
Nevertheless there were such cases: Hans Rosenthal later became a very famous quizmaster on German TV. He was a jew and persecuted during the Nazi regime (when he was not famous). In several interviews and documentaries he told how he survived because he was hid by a JW.
a participant on german infolink-board claims that russell was not rich before he founded the watch tower society.
he refers to an english source.
i am reluctant to believe this but here are people like rr who can answer with authority:.
Can you provide a link to the original post G JW?
No, I am sorry. There was an error and a restructure in the German board and the WebMaster deleted part of the database.

I am reluctant to believe this. Keep in mind that the same people claim that Russell was wealthy and because of this had connections to masons.
at first when we joined, we all choose a user name that would identify us.
we also had the choice of puting a picture next to our user name.
often, some change the picture for a better one.
No. I would like to get rid of the "JW"-part. :-(

i just got back from today's circuit assembly.
i haven't been to one in the last 1 and a half yrs.
obviously, nothing has changed.
Well, I think sharing that uplifting and entertaining experiences on JWD is a sufficient reason. ;-)
when you joined the jw's, what year did you set in your mind as the latest date for the new system?
we were all told that the end was very close, but how close did you think it was, when you joined?
if you would have known that the end was atleast 30 or 50 years away, would you have pioneered as much, or would you have given as much time to them, or would you have kept much more time for yourself?
At a homebiblestudy I once said the housholder that I personally think that the end would come by 2000. Must have been in the 80s.
Well, now it is the father in law of a friend and sometimes I see him. I guess he does not remember but I do. Shame on me. :-(
the bloody pisspots!.
i was just enjoying a beethoven cd, on which is the excellent egmont overture.
happily reading a book and humming along.. get to the end, and suddenly i'm singing a kingdom song!
Yeah, you are right. I cannot even watch Disneys "Snowwhite" anymore. ;-)
