hi - i'm new here so go easy on me!.
i've been lurking for a while trying to find out info on the jws.
some questions i have:.
If you meet two people and ask them if they like apples because you have never eaten one, one guy says "yes" and the other says "no". how will you know without then eating the apple yourself as to which is right?
But, but - isn't that exactly what Satan the Snake told Eve?
And don't come back and tell me it wasn't necessarily an apple in the garden, Renaii -
You get my point.
the society's latest book, "bearing thorough witness about god's kingdom" contains two serious omissions.. first, on page 105, it offers an outright lie about the organization and the bible.
"they do not force the scriptures to fit their views.
impartial observers have recognized this fact.
On the blood issue (and what was posted above is fascinating speculation on the subject) - could it possibly be that the legal department gurus are really the ones swinging the cat in the GB boardroom?
Already burned on the pedophiles and the lawsuit over civil liability when a Bethel guy got into a fatal accident while on Society Business - could it be that they are moving to kill this obvious source of more litigation? Then, too - there is the notion of moving most printed production to Canada...
Plus the reportedly hi-delux digs legal has provided for its elite...
according to a bethel heavy i know rather well,.
ted is paralysed down his right side,.
however his mind and speech remain unaffected.. .
Ther is agreat glee in this thread.
Are we actually talking about a HUMAN BEING??
I asked the same thing when this board absolutely went into spasms of pleasure upon hearing of the death of former White House press secretary Tony Snow.
I will tell you this - back when Betty Dunlap was still able to live on her own, she once told me that she actually thought that Jaracz was one of the better people in power in the days of ousting Ray Franz and her husband Ed Dunlap. Maybe just because I think they both came from Australia, though?

The two-door car in the second picture does have the split or V-shaped front window. This indeed could have been a V-16 but what with the body style, the laundalet bars on the folding top, and that windshield it would have necessarily been a quite rare car. This one might actually be traceable in the classic market today just by that grainy picture. However, it should be noted that there was also a V-12 model of that era; one of those with a similar body to the roadster (but not IIRC, witht he split front window) is up for auction this September along with a big V-16 town car. One way to identify the V-16 cars is that there are 5 visible air duct doors on the sides of the hood ahead of the fender mounted spare tires - but those photos are so grainy that I can't really tell.
I am going to have to say that the first car is certainly NOT a V-16, but does appear to be a V8 Cadillac of the era. Still looking, I kind of have hopes that somebody on my car sites may recognize the roadster.
As to value, these (even the 16s) are kind of having a hard time now. One of the 16 cylinder cars got bid up to about 175,000 in a recent auction and did not make the reserve, so remained unsold. Reserve was thought to be about 200K.
As a matter of interest as to value - in that same auction the actual 1928 Rolls-Royce that was driven by Robert Redford in the movie The Great Gatsby (and which had been restored within about 10 years back) only sold for about $275,000.
As for the morality of styling around in this kind of iron while everybody else was slogging through the dustbowl, perhaps our con-man Judge (or was it his predecessor?) was right: Religion is a snare and a racket.

Homer, wonder if the second car came a few years later and if it were the V16, then that is how this legend got started?
I also noted that this was a pretty mass-produced car from 1930 up to 1940; hundreds per year by average - compared to the handful of J and SJ Duesenbergs of the same era.

The regime IS the country and the people and you obviously hate it.
Correction: He said he did not hate the people (just the opposite) but that he DID hate the regime because it oppresses the people.
On the other hand, your love affair for socialist/marxist government (and in fact this dictatorship) leaps from these pages as strongly as my love for the Ferrari.
And this is something most of us here simply do not understand.

Well, maybe another JW urban legend shot to hell...(maybe)...
If the original photo was really of a 1928 car, which certainly looks to me like it is - then this would NOT have been a V16. Cadillac was still using the V8 in 1928, the first year of integrated Cadillac, GM, and Fleetwood management. The V16 appeared in late 1929 as a 1930 model.
Still looking...

Your right JWood though in being the ones that are still around and beautifully restored to be valued in the $ 200,000 range.
I sure wouldn't mind having that convertible to play around with.
Neither would I...but of course it is not now nor ever will be the glory 7 figure car that a Bugatti or Duesenberg of the same era is.
Interestingly, there is one coming up for auction in September - said to have something they call the "Madame X" style town car. I think it came from the name of a movie it was used in??? Usually the really good cars will have something of a provenance - and maybe here somebody will uncover the Judgemobile. Probably the only other possibility would be knowing the works or chassis number and working back from that with one of the club registries.
BTW, maybe "Madame X" would have kind of been a fit for the judge and his secretaries.

USA in working toward a Cuban style of healthcare (non specialists/teams etc) as a pilot project. I believe it is ongoing now.
Yes, I believe that it is. Ironically.
As a matter of fact, I like old cars - perhaps I could start a pilot project where everybody drives a 55 Buick or maybe a Plymouth with fins?
how many times have we all seen that sign in the minstry?
also " no salesman" , " no harkers" etc.
in my congo it was the policy to ignore these completly, the poor people who just wanted to be left alone never had a chance.. i on the otherhand used to use it as an exhuse to fast forward on to the next house and finish up the ministry quicker.... what was your experiance?.
Don't know if this species is still around, but we had several examples of the 50-something <<in your face and likes it that way>> type of single pioneer sister. Back in 1975, but to get it on type - the actress who played Maude in Golden Girls had the character part pretty well down.
Two of them I know collected the act of trying to talk to people behind a no trespassing sign as a sort of spiritual olympic medal. Especially beloved were shaming the visiting CO or his wife into going with them into one of these potential slap-down events.
