Looking for Rutherford Interview
by muzzy incalling all research geeks, please help if you can.. .
in doing some research on joseph rutherford, a couple weeks ago i came across an interview he gave to a missouri newspaper talking about his upcoming theocratic convention in st. louis in august 1941. the newspaper may have been the globe-democrat.
i remember it had a black-and-white portrait photo of rutherford, and the caption said 'this is their leader.

Nathan Homer Knorr - Post your story about him here
by VM44 inthere have been much research lately into the biographies of ct russell and "judge" rutherford, the first and second presidents of the watchtower bible and tract society, but not so much research into the biography of the third president of the wbts, nathan homer knorr.. as there are many people still living, and who also post here at jwd, who knew nathan knorr personally, it might be worthwhile to start a thread about the life and personality of knorr.. so if anyone has any knorr stories, please post them here.
i will start off by posting some basic biographical information.. --vm44.
nathan homer knorr.

I read in Wikapedia that Rutherford did fell down the stairs and was partially eaten by rats. That is according to the San Diego Autopsy report.

Old JW phonogragh used in door to door - in what years??
by Gayle inhttp://cgi.ebay.com/portable-kameraphone-phonograph-jehovah-watchtower-/190467777187.
jehovahs witness kameraphone, a portable phonograph.
they were called kameraphones because they looked like box cameras, and were imported from europe and used by jehovas witnesses to play bible discourses while doing their rounds.

The best thing about the web is seeing photos of history. It is the first time I had seen a transcription machine earlier than 1936.

Joseph Rutherford and Burlesque
by Amazing inno one really expects 'perfection' of their fellow humans, even of those in high station.
our past president, bill clinton certainly demonstrated that men in high station can and do give into acts that are not accepted by the public at large.
likewise, i doubt anyone expects that joseph rutherford would be perfect, but we would expect that as a human, he had his ways.. what about "true" spiritual leaders?

Prince and Speilberg signed non-disclosure agreements and the guests signed waivers of secrecy. On that song list:Purple Oy Vey,Gett Off(The Bema),I Want to be Your Cantor,Little Red Draidle etc. Prince thinks he is so slick but, I believe Brooklyn will turn the other way.
