I believe the Chicago Bible Students distribute a tract entitled When Pastor Russell Died which gives their side of the story as to what happened with the will. I found the tract to be very interesting.

Did Russell ask that no publications be written after he died?
by ackack inthere is a debate brewing on wikipedia over whether russell's will stated that no new publications be made by the watchtower society, and if rutherford violated his will.. the relevant portion from his will reads:as the society has already pledged to me that it will publish no other periodicals, it shall also be required that the editorial committee shall write for or be connected with no other publications in any manner or degree.. .
what's your opinion?.

Which books were selected to make up the Bible?
by JoeSinclair ini have stolen some text, quoted below, from the national geographic website, http://www.nationalgeographic.com/lostgospel/timeline.html.
i read their article about the supposed gospel of judas and found it interesting.
i offer no comment on the validity of their article, nor seek one.

Hi:
If you do not love the guy do not marry him.
Have you thought of adoption? Most states have open adoptions now which means that you would have the opportunity to have a relationship with your child if you wish and you would get to choose the adoptive parents as well.
Here is a link for more information: http://www.adoptionservices.org/adoption/adoption_agencies_nevada.htm
Jeff S. www.catholicxjw.com P.S. As someone who knows an abortion survivor, I can tell you right now that you did the right thing in not having the abortion. Abortion not only kills the child, it also does terrible violence to women both physically and mentally. You are doing the right thing in having your child.

True Christians neutral in War?
by Van Gogh intoday i re-established contact with an older true - friend who is still a jw.
in the fifty years that he has been baptized he invested a lot of time and effort in helping the needy and elderly, loyally taking up responsibilities in the org as an elder, organizer, speaker and shepherd.
he is still out there as a lowly publisher, tirelessly going from door to door with only his bible.

Lots of Bethelites Not Happy With Downsizing
by Seeker4 ini had a long conversation last night with an old jw friend whose sister and brother-in-law are bethelites since the 1970s.
she is an artist, and he runs a small but important department there.. we were talking about the bethel downsizing (my friend was well aware of it), and i told him i figured his sister and b-i-l would be safe due to the fact that they are now in their 60s and have something close to 4 decades seniority.
but he said no, that they were worried that they would be asked to leave as well, sent into the circuit work or as special pioneers sent where the "need is great.".

I guess what I do not get is why they are still building in the DUMBO Neighborhood when they are downsizing.

Scientology article
by Oroborus21 in.
this is an interesting article from rolling stone about scientology:.
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/9363363/inside_scientologywhen asked what, if anything, posted by the apostates is true, mike rinder, the fifty-year-old director of the church of scientology international's legal and public-relations wing, known as the office of special affairs, says bluntly, "it's all bullshit, pretty much.".

I did a recent interview on my podcast with an internationally known cult interventionist. Her name is Mary Alice Chrnalogar. (She has experience with the Church of Scientology by the way and they are really mean to say the least.) It was amazing the similarities in style when it came to manipulation no matter what the religious group. You might find the interview rather interesting.

Actually, it is more general although we do bring up the JWs toward the end of the conversation.
Let me know what you think.
