I also had forgotten about this. Isn't there a special date for when the elders can open the sealed boxes? I thought it was November but my memory is not what it used to be!

Chelmsford Dedication
by Teddnzo inzoe has nephew in the new bethel and we have been there to visit him.
even had a meal in the new dinning room and had a tour.. it was a bit underwhelming and the display of old bibles open to pages showing jehovah’s name is supposed to prove everything they say is spot on!.
everyone is talking about the upcoming dedication where members of the gb are flying over.

For anyone interested in this topic, the Consolation magazine of May 27, 1942 that was mentioned above is well worth a read. Rutherford wanted to be buried at Beth Sarim and when that was not allowed by the local authorities, Beth Shan. There are of course many places here where he could have been buried.
Who actually knows where he ended up? Several sources suggest beneath the garage at Beth Sarim or somewhere on Beth Shan, it ran to several acres. The cellar under the goat barn was not found until many years later and is currently an underground 'den' beneath a property built in the 1950's. Plenty of links and photos to that on this site.

At least we now know he wasn't buried under a garage floor.
Do we? Did anyone actually check inside the coffin when it arrived for burial?

Do you play the LOTTERY?
by Fisherman injw view gambling as a sin and sadly people get addicted to gambling causing them financial and health problems.
but is playing a couple of bucks a week on some lottery tickets actually gambling?
what do you have to lose?

St George of England
I have never bought a lottery ticket or a raffle ticket. However, I do have Premium Bonds and it used to be said that a JW should not buy these as it is gambling with the interest.
I have received far more in winnings than if I had put that money in the bank. The winnings are also tax free which can be handy depending on your level of taxable interest. (UK)

So, 60 Years Ago
by titch inso, folks, 60 years ago, starting on september 1st, i believe, we, local witnesses in southern california, had the "privilege" of attending the "around the world assembly", at, of all places, the rose bowl, in pasadena.

they released a thick edition of the New World Translation
Generally known as the "Jumbo Bible" or "Fat Boy Bible"
It was basically all the 5 volumes of the NWT of the Hebrew Scriptures that had been released over the years, plus the NWT of the Greek Scriptures in one volume. i still have mine.

I had to memorize a three scripture sermon to offer that book door to door. At eight years old.
Ah, 3 - 4 scriptures, 10 -15 min Doorstep Sermon. Today's 30 hour "pioneers" and trolley minders haven't got a clue.

I remember the old Babylon book well.
I actually managed to place a copy one Sunday morning. I went back the following week and guess what, the guy had not read it! I never did return after that, I wonder how far he got with it.
We studied it at the group, I was the Group Study Servant and found it so difficult to make it interesting. As stated above, there was a question booklet but we had to make up our own review questions for the end of the study. My old dad used to copy my review questions for his group!

by BoogerMan inthe whitewashing of tm111 from jw history continues - tending to confirm that he was booted.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghbhv6961a.
i'm pretty sure the cult got him to sign a nice nda - in exchange for a lifetime residency in the house bought by wt..

If they're removing AMIII, they are taking their time about it. Go on to the JW website and enter Anthony Morris into the video search box. There are over 30 videos of him and that's just the first page.
We are six months down the line, by now one would have thought he would have been just a memory.
