I had wondered what had happened to Kevin, since he didn't make it in time to the compound in the WT Bunker video a few years back. Good to see he's still alive and kickin.

Were You Ever Interested In Early Watchtower History?
by minimus ini also was intrigued by the russellites and the break away sects that formed before and after charles taze russell.
i can only imagine what the bible students were thinking when rutherford became the next watchtower president..

Reading about the WT spinoffs was probably the first step for me in investigating my beliefs and eventually rejecting the WT. I was at a bookstore and on a lark had picked up 'The Encyclopedia of American Religions' Volume II, J. Gordon Melton, Editor. It has about 10 pages or so on JW and related religions that I found fascinating. It was published in 1991, so it is a little dated, but I still pull it off the shelf once in a while.

For some reason I decided to google David Schafer...
by Iamallcool inand i noticed the following picture.
it seems like that it is not normal for any speaker to give the talk so close to the back wall.
i would like to know why he was standing very close to the back wall.

I'm sure it was just to get in the shade out of the heat. I've suffered through those outdoor assemblies, baking in the sun for hours. It's awful.

Is this for real? They take down all the admittedly racist statues all throughout the South, and then they put this up? Where is this and in what context?

My wife is still in, and spends some time each week writing letters, in which they typically place some type of brochure. It is small and light and can be mailed along with the letter without any extra postage (US), whereas a larger magazine would need extra postage and would be a little too bulky for the envelope.
Their needs have changed, so I don't think it farfetched to look for the Awake to be discontinued.

I'd say either temporary worker housing for a construction project (and later resale), as previous posts have mentioned, or housing for 'disaster relief' workers. The disaster relief is one of their money making schemes, where they send volunteers with donated materials to fix damaged homes, then get the owners to turn over the insurance money to the WT.

I don't recall the exact dates, but the Awake was first published I think about the time of WW2 or shortly afterwards. In the Russell days there was just the Watchtower. Russell had stated he only wanted one magazine; it seems to me that he may have even had it in his 'will' that there would only be one magazine, hence when Rutherford started the Golden Age there was a bit of a brouhaha. Then the Golden Age ceased and was replaced by Consolation for a while. Only after Rutherford died Consolation was replaced by Awake.
Maybe they are going to replace the Awake with something else, completely digital probably.

1969 "fact": You will never grow old in this present system of things
by Ding inawake!
"if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

The reason this keeps coming up is that people were hurt by it. Anyone who made a choice in life at the time based on the false expectation (which was invented by and fostered by the Watchtower organization and its representatives) was hurt. There are precious life resources that are spent in one way or another. Some who decided to not get married and have children are now facing their elder years without the joys of children and grandchildren. Others missed out on careers they would have found fulfilling. Others decided to not pursue something they had a great talent for, such as music, poetry, etc and instead spent those years knocking on doors chasing a false dream.
The WT society earned my contempt when in my twenties, I realized that my decision to not go to college hurt me, and it was all based on their false beliefs.
