By the way Gary, there is no reason for you to know anything about this. Almost no one does, but I know. I know, probably more than anyone on this subject. And, I can prove all if it. Would you like to read the evidence????????

70JW changes over time
by larc inas many of you know, i am 63, and left the religion about 40 years ago.
i was raised in it and would like to explain what it was like compared to today.
first of all, back in the mid to late 40's the patriotism of the u.s. was very high and the treatment at the door was very harsh.

Well Gary, I do know about the mistress thing, inside and out. It is very true, believe me. I can provide the evidence. It can not be dismissed. It is a fact.

Hey Gary, do you believe that the Judge had a mistress? To do such, is a greater offense than smoking cigars. If you are in doubt, I will start a separate thread for the benefit of you and others.

Garybuss, I have read at several places that the Judge smoked fine cigars. However, I can not give you a reference. I do know that he wore one hundred dollar silk shirts back in the 40's, which would be much more costly today. He also brought in wiskey from Canada during prohibtion. It is also likely that he has a mistress. So, I am not surprised if he smoked cigars.

I know a few things about Valis, even though I have never met him. He was born at a very early age. His family was poor, so he was born at home. When his mother saw him, she was rushed to the hospital. His father was rather tough on him. When Valis was five his father asked him how old he was, and Valis told him that he was five. His father said, Shame one on you, when I was your age I was ten already. Valis had a hard time in first grade because kids were giving him black and blue marks from touching him with a ten foot pole. When Valis was ten, on a cold winter day, he built a fire in the living room. His father came home and was rather upset, because they didn't have a fire place. When Valis was in high school, an elder asked him a quiz question: what word starts with F and ends with K. Well, Valis said the dirty word, and the elder told him that the answer was Firetruck. Valis was promply disfellowshipped for conduct unbecoming a Cristian. Well, that last experience sent our friend out on a new career, which took him to college and a teaching career. Life is good, don't ya think????

Metetron, I espescially liked your last statement, "The 'truth' is becoming an empty shell, outside it looks fanatical, inside there's nothing." I could not agree more with your statement. Well written, sir.

Happy birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. My you live a hundred years. May you drink a thousand beers. Get plastered you ............ bad boy, Happy Birthday to you. Well, on a more serious note, now that you are 27, live to be 28. I followed that advice for many years, and now I am 63. Hey, just enjoy every day.

I went back and reread the comments, and I have some comments on the comments. JayHawk, I sure would like to bring back my mother's three aunts who became Bible Students in the 1920's, especially the one who likely was Rutherford's mistress. Room 215, You captured many good ideas. I especially liked your term, the "old warriors" versus the modern day duplicity. You also pointed out the average Witness back in those days could defend their faith far better than they can today. I agree. You also commented on the Kingdom Halls back in those days. They either rented a room or had a very modest building. Now, the Kingdom Halls are plush beyond belief. Shame on them. They are getting too materialistic. On the subject of public talks. Yes, they were designed for the public and for Bible studies. We handed out pamphlets encouraging the public to show up. Longunsrun: I agree with you that Ray Franz made a mistake regarding the commitee argangment. He should have left that alone.

Mulan, I hope the "younger ones" are understanding this. In our day, as long as you attended the meetings on a regular basis and met your monthly quota, what else you did was pretty much your business. Hard for the "younger ones" to believe, I am sure.

Dan The Man, You are right. Sports and school activities were allowed back then. In grade school I went to the YMCA for several years. In high school, I played baseball and was a member of the HiY club, in fact, I was the chaplain, voted in because I could give a prayer. Others found it uncomfortable to do so. Back then they were called Congregation Servants. They were to serve the congregation. The newer term Overseer sounds like a factory surpervisor title. Back then, a piano was played at the Hall and the songs were better than today. At conventions we had orchestras of good quality. Those with musical talent had some outlet.
