We had 4 or 5 in the Coatbridge congregation when I was a kid. The Tuesday group was held in the home of an elderly couple who took the emblems. I remember them with affection. They owned a caravan at St.Fillans in Perthshire and quite a few of us from the congregation used to go on holiday to the same site at the old railway station.
John was prone to repeat many of bizarre ideas that Russell and Rutherford taught - God lives in the Pleiades, we will all be naked and speak Hebrew in paradise etc etc. He was a WWI veteran - neutrality wasn't a thing then. He would talk about the 'Evil Slave Class' who left the organisation when Rutherford took control.
I remember the beautiful bronze art deco lamp in their house in the shape of a naked woman holding the glass shade. As a young lad I was mesmerised by her. Probably still would be now!
