A little curious about the Stirling video posted. I wonder if it is intended to portray some story from the Book of Mormon. I've watched a few videos recently in which the Mormon beliefs about the population of the Americas. Historically it is ridiculous; it is astounding the lengths they go to to find 'evidence' to support their previously-arrived-at conclusions.

Request--When The Watchtower Was In Business With The Klu Klux Klan!
by Atlantis into the person who requested the files and documents on the watchtower doing business with the klu klux klan, i will need to send you that in a file folder.
it would be easier if i could send everything to your email.. bottom line was, the canadian branch of the watchtower had a radio station in canada named "chuc" in the 1920's.. i am giving jeff and alan credit on this.
they did a wonderful video about it.

I've always thought that the WT choice of the name 'Birth of the Nation' for a Watchtower article was a little too close for comfort to 'Birth of A Nation', the 1915 silent film which was hugely popular in the US and reflected widespread support for the KKK and its ideology. Surely it wasn't a coincidence.

Cities of Refuge
by menrov ini was for no particular reason thinking about this topic.
i search on google if the concept of cities of refuge is also documented outside the bible.
i did not really find it.

I've read somewhere that the cities of refuge, though spoken about in the Bible, were never used much in Israel, or maybe not at all. I'm not sure where I read that, maybe in BAR or someplace like that.

V, good observation and deduction about the door-to-door records being kept for support of non-profit status. I've always believed that major reason for the institution of keeping records was to provide legal support for the brothers facing the draft to support their claim of a minister status. The testimony of the 1954 Walsh case (I used to have a copy of it but gave it away a few years ago) seemed to support this notion.

The door to door work has been less prominent in recent years, I do agree. At least in the US, I haven't seen JWs out door to door for years in the neighborhoods around me. I have also observed fewer door-to-door salesmen, for instance, or just about anything else.

Other places he is identified as Robert J Hendricks III. I'm not sure, but I think the news outlet in the O.P. is incorrect in giving his name as David.

In the video he seemed to leave it open for the future, but I think they will wait a couple of years before they will give the OK again for door-to-door.

In complete agreement, Phizzy.
One comment to add, that is that Knorr's business model moved him to push it out to other markets outside the US. The fact that the US is not where the majority of JWs live has its foundation in Knorr's business expansion.

Questions I have about the "Ministry School".
by Pallbearer ini remember that jehovah's witnesses used to have a 2-hour, 2-part mid-week meeting which included a 1-hour "ministry school" followed by a 1-hour "service meeting".
please correct me if i am wrong in any respect but to the best of my memory the ministry school was composed of 4 parts, as follows:.
part 1: an "instruction talk".

As much as I despised the meetings, I have to admit that giving a 5-6 minute speech in front of an audience was a useful skill to develop.
