  our dc coming up this weekend, i hated them and the only thing that kept me going ,was the reward of booze at the end of each day.my then wife,zelous judgemental pioneer, you know the type,not only droned on about my drinking, but about everyones drinking, a real barrel of laughs not.

  anyway, one year we went to another dc, in newcastle, all seemed to be going well, until lunch.we went over to a hotel for lunch,i ordered my fresh orange and food, a few minutes later, the local jw,s arrived for lunch, they had all pr-ordered drinks,alcoholic drinks, and not one drink but many !!!

  they were buisy getting boozed up for the afternoon session,way to go, i was about to join them, when my wife told me " dont even think about it ", anyway she was outraged, but there they were ,with thier little convention badges, men and women, young and old, getting merry, they dont even do that here in scotland, !!!.

  Film footage of Joseph Rutherford

  by homejah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first saw the dvd released by the society about jehovah's witnesses there was a home movie footage of joseph rutherford who wore a red bow tie.

  i thought it was the only filmed record of the judge until i saw the website of archive.com where rutherford was speaking to reporters on a ship in australia in 1938. i also remember a letter from a cameraman from warner-pathe news from a article in consolation magazine published after the st.louis covention in 1941. has anyone found that issue?

  hope for replies..

  by InterestedOne in

  2. scandals

  i mentioned rutherford's cadillacs to my study conductor, and he said maybe rutherford was able to purchase them because he was independently wealthy.

  were they purchased from his own personal wealth or with the wt funds?.
