the recent broad casts about not handing in time sheets, and then about beards, especially the beards, it seems so trivial, are those talks only released in order to distract the followers from the recent court case they lost on spain, from the csa cases, the kh sales and so on?.
i reckon they're taking their lead from the media, distract and divide tactics..
to distract the followers from the recent court case they lost on Spain, from the CSA cases, the KH sales and so on?
Unless you are on a site such as this you will never hear anything about the case in Spain, the CSA cases, Norway or anything else of that type. Should anyone dare to mention such they would be accused of promoting "apostate lies".

i popped in to read about the beard u-turn, so thought i'd say hello to anyone who remembers me.
.
Hi cantleave, I remember you well. You left! I am still here as a PIMO, I joined the year after you. Since you left the religion has got more whacky by the day. You're better away from it all.
All the best from George

Bit late for my congregation, lots of bros have had beards for a few years now. Including elders.

can't find any references, so you'll just have to trust me on this one.
i remember, probably at least two decades ago, a small news snippet about someone was going around brooklyn heights and setting fire to christmas wreaths on people's doors.
i've always personally suspected* that it was a bored/semi-insane bethelite.
Here in the UK there are plenty of people that dislike Christmas or anything else connected to Christianity. i really cannot imagine even the wackiest JW bothering to do anything like this.

did you ever go to the haysbridge assembly hall in surrey?.
post your experiences.
the assembly hall i believe used to be a reformed school for boys and was completely renovated and dedicated in 1985.. it was the only assembly hall i knew of that sold souvenir pens, book marks and notepads.. .
It's still in use. We have our CA's and SAD's there.

It is to my belief,, that this Rutherford was separated from his wife and kid(s) through the latter years of his life.
As I remember JFR was split from his wife, NY winters were too cold for him due to health problems caused by his incarceration.
He had one son, Malcolm, who worked with CTR as his stenographer at one time. He married his wife Pauline and I have seen a photo of them on here with JFR in Hawaii at a convention. After 1942 Malcolm seems to get little mention but Mary Rutherford is mentioned in the Proclaimers Book, I think she died in the 1960's.

Here in the UK they have four homes, though the reviews and inspections in past years has not been great.
A look at the Companies House website makes me wonder just how it "functions"

forgive the insensitivity of this but does the wt imagine the "resurrected" bodies of the dead will have useless genitalia?
or will the humans 2.0 have the smooth appearance of a ken doll or the nipple-less breasts of a barbie.
any breasts at all?
In the old 1958 Paradise book there are two pictures, one in the Garden of Eden the other in the New World. I cannot remember the page numbers and the book is tucked away in the loft.
In the GoE picture we see Adam, a Cock (eral) and a Squirrel with a couple of nuts.
In the New World picture we see the Cock (eral) is there along with the Squirrel still with his two nuts.
This was supposed to indicate that we will still be as we are now, so to speak.
Perhaps someone can post the two pictures for those unfamiliar with old paradise book.

when i browse jw org, the following years of watchtower magazines are missing from the drop-down menu:.
1987 - 1990.
1997-1998.. i dont want to install any libraries from jw org because of spyware concerns.. are these years included in the downloadable libraries?.
I've just gone on jw dot org online library and they seem to be there. Has anyone else actually checked?
Publications — Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY (jw.org)
Just one year 1987 as an example

Ozzie 🍷(of the “truth shall set you free class”)
My old dad bought "The truth shall make you free", "The kingdom is at at hand" and another book which I cannot remember. Three books for 5/- or 25p in "modern" money. This was in the mid 1940's.
For the Ministry School "Theocratic Aid for Kingdom Publishers" was used until "Qualified to be Ministers" was released in 1955. I remember using this until the 1980's when it was replaced by "Benefit from Theocratic Ministry School education" and so the downhill trend turned into freefall.
Modern JW's wouldn't know where to start with such texts.
