I'm bumping this thread. The info people have provided above has been very interesting...but, it seems that what I heard from this recording, which has disappeared from my home, seems to date from before the Rutherford era. I believe Russell was the one to make the Photo Drama of Creation and supposedly spent his fortune on it with the help of this alleged heiress whose home survive Sherman's March. Weird, yes...of course, at the time of my listening to this talk, I was duped into how Jah provided. (Stupid, stupid me!)

I've heard the following explaination given regarding David and Bathsheba: God personally judged them, knowing they were both very repentant, he was the one deciding judgement, not some human. He could read their hearts and knew they were repentant. A descendant also had to come from David to be Jesus ancestor. The baby was collateral damage, it should have never been conceived, therefore, didn't really have a right to life, besides which, God can resurrect it.
I do not agree with the above paragraph. Why couldn't Jehovah have used another of David's sons to be the ancestor to Jesus? If he could read David's heart, why didn't he read the hearts of everyone accused of adultery and make the decision whether to kill or not? If this baby had no right to life due to not being lawfully conceived, can women who were raped have abortions without being disfellowshipped?

I believe it was an American bro., who claimed that a woman who owned a mansion in Atlanta, at the time of General Sherman's March to the Sea, and subsequent burning of Atlanta, had her mansion saved. This was divine direction because she later became involved, somehow as a relative, with the Coca-Cola company, received a ton of money from them, and helped finance the making of early 'Creation' film made by Russell.
Does anyone know anything about this? I can't seem to find out if she existed. I cannot remember her name. I've tried various websites of Coca-Cola history and which buildings survived in Atlanta, but no luck. My hubby is using this point to help prove god is with the org.
Any help is appreciated.

You read the list of ingredients on the pet food bag, hoping it doesn't contain 'animal by-products'.
You wear skirts to picnics, the beach, or to clean your house, because the magazines show women dressed like that.
You don't serve alcohol at your wedding, because you don't want to stumble anyone.

You find yourself putting on pantyhose in a campground shower room, because your family can't afford a room for the convention.
You are the only people at the campground dressed in 'church' clothes.
You think camping means going to a convention.

Phone call from the local JWs this evening...
by Jim_TX ingosh i wish i was better at having religious discussions with jws.
this evening, as i am at home trying to relax, i get a phone call from the local jws who are evidently sitting in their kh dialing out.. i got this man who starts off by asking me if he can ask me a question.
"okaaaaay..." i say slowly.... "do you think..." he starts... and then stops... obviously losing his place in his pre-prepared sermon....

Kudos to you Jim, although they probably rushed to the bathroom to flush out their ears, then they congratulated themselves on winning the discussion.

Blondie, Interesting as usual. Regarding paragraph 18, does it state in any early record from the time, that the 'sincere bible students' were only men? The ending of paragraph 18 seems to indicate men only, but I thought women were early bible students too. Were they to be seen and not heard?
