Their baptismal costume looks very generic. I wonder if this is what Anthony Morris the Third had in mind when he was talking about womens sports clothing.

We've got a guy at work who's nickname is Pop also, he also has a warm and has a fartherly nature about himself. In contrast Rutherford had virtually no endearing qualities. He was the head of the organization and recognised as such.
If Rutherford did happen to deserve the name Pappy in an affectionate way it doesn't negate the fact that the organization points their finger at the Catholics for calling their elders, father and are going against bible instruction in doing so.

A widow with 3 dependant children
The JW widow was having a lot of trouble paying her bills and the family was poor. She had a visit from 2 Elders who sat down with her and discussed her situation. They did not offer her any financial assistance, instead the video goes on to say how it is better to give than recieve and explained how this family were able to give to the organization.
Twice they showed the family eating at a table and the only food in their bowls was rice.
Max Larson
There is some old footage with Max Larson talking about his work at World Headquarters. He worked closely with Knorr, this is part of what he said on the video
..."And he said (Knorr) I just got a call, Pappy just went home, That is, he got a call from San Diago. Pappy was Rutherford that died..."
According to the dictionary Pappy is another word for father. The organization have condemned the Catholics for calling priests 'father'.

CHECK YOUR BIBLE
For example, at Matthew 23:9 Jesus said: “Call none your father upon earth: for one is your Father, who is in heaven.” (Douay) The surrounding verses show that Jesus condemned other religious titles, such as “Rabbi.” Compare the Lord’s teaching with the Catholic practice of addressing priests by the title “Father.” It requires no trickery to convince sincere people that Catholic practice is in error.

The Climax of Earthly Creation
13 After aeons had passed and God had produced innumerable animate and inanimate works, the earth was no longer “formless and waste.” Yet, Jehovah had not finished using his spirit for creative purposes. He was about to produce his highest earthly creation. Toward the end of the sixth creative day, God created man. How did Jehovah do so? By using his holy spirit and the elements of the earth.—Gen. 2:7.

I'm in Western Australia, the weather is generally pleasant, although hot and dry in Summer. The landscape is not as pretty as the East Coast but nice enough. Queensland is an attractive place and people there seem to be much more carefree.

Having lived in the southern State of Victoria, I wouldn't say greed was the motivation. The weather is pretty awful, even Tasmania is better.

Lovely video and some important questions are asked.
He makes the statement that there is greater awe in reality than there is in fantasy. Believing in a higher being is not fantasy but anyway I prefer this more profound statement'
Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure
of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day." - Albert Einstein

CAN WE SOLVE THE MYSTERY of why Watchtower doctrines changed when they changed?
by Terry inif a person gives a police report of a traumatic event, but later changes their facts during cross-examination, these changes are used to impeach the honesty of the witness.. this impeachment flows from a logical understanding facts must match reality without contradiction.. lets examine the history of the watchtower corporations leaders with a view to the harmony of.
true teaching over a period of years from 1879-1942.. "even though christmas is not the real anniversary of our lord's birth, but more properly the annunciation day or the date of his human begetting (luke 1:28), nevertheless, since the celebration of our lord's birth is not a matter of divine appointment or injunction, but merely a tribute of respect to him, it is not necessary for us to quibble particularly about the date.
we may as well join with the civilized world in celebrating the grand event on the day which the majority celebrate - "christmas day.

Alexander Hislop and his book 'The two Babylons' are quoted 47 times in the WT library. Hislops motive was to discredit the Catholics and mentioned numerous practices of theirs as being from pagan origin. He had his own set of weird and whacky ideas, which were not factual.
It would seem that the WTBTS in it's own motive of discrediting the Catholic religion picked up on this book and ran with his ideas. It fitted their needs of pointing at other religions and demonstrating that they were still pagan. Of course, that required ridding their own organization of those pagan practices that they they would choose to condem.
The WTBTS last quoted Hislop in 1985.
Hislop's writings have been discredited.
Hislop believed the Protestant religion was the true religion and he also believed in the Trinity. Having researched his writings the WTBTS would have known this. So why would they even quote someone whom, according to their own beliefs, was lying? Surely if the WTBTS has any credibility they would not quote from a person who's basic doctrines were a lie and from Satan, how could they even put trust in anything he was saying? Yet they continued to quote him time after time.
