this is a question i have had for over 13 years, since i first found out that rutherford had a house, named beth sarim, built for him in san diego.

where did the money come from for the 100 acres of land the house was situated upon, and for the design and construction of the house?

in the proclaimer's book, it is said that a "direct contribution" was made for the house.

did anyone watch the discovery channel show this weekend on "scientific adam"?

i imagine it was a re-run, so maybe someone has watched it in the past.

i found a blurb about it here: http://blogs.nationalgeographic.com/channel/blog/2005/06/explorer_adam.html.. i am far from being a scientist, but i have to say the entire show was disturbing.

after reading cruzenheart's post on the letter about her father, and the treatment he received from the co, william osbeck, and the elders of his congregation, it brought back my own memories of this particular co and his treatment of people.

it was 1995 and one of the hardest years of my life.

in february of that year, i learned i was pregnant with our fifth child.
