Lol, Columbia sounds like they wanted to have no part of it. It says ‘this record was pressed but not recorded by Columbia phonograph’.

I Found Some Extremely Rare Rutherford Recordings
by Nosferatu ini was blown away when i found these watchtower records with rutherford on them.
these aren't the ones that were used door to door.
these are 16 inch records that were sent to radio stations to broadcast rutherford over the airwaves.

New JW.Watch Website - Plans, Ideas & Submissions
by Simon ini want to create a new site to help people leaving the wts.. the idea is that it will be curated content of articles and videos on specific subjects such as how to fade, how to handle family, personal experiences of leaving, mistakes to avoid, plus practical life matters impacted by the wts such as how to create or rebuild a career, planning for retirement, getting counselling, making friends etc.... the idea is that it should be lots of voices to share the love and promote lots of people's channels so it becomes a more effective resource (hopefully there will always be something informative and appealing to the people visiting).. if you have a youtube channel that you would like featured, or maybe have some specific video or series that would suit, i'd be happy to include them.. likewise, if you have a subject you'd like to write about and can share some practical knowledge and guidance on, or have a life-story you'd like to share because your experience could benefit others, please let me know.. i bought a domain and setup some placeholder content:.

please message me or post here if you have any questions or ideas..

Don't reenforce the belief that the WTS is in control
This is why I don’t believe in writing a disassociation letter. The WT has no right to ask for one, and I have no obligation to write one. Screw them.

My only suggestion is that it be mobile friendly. If it were possible to have a phone app with an easy to navigate interface it would go over well.

An offer in exchange for some help.
by JeffT inas some of you might recall, i self-published a novel last fall.
i hoped “armageddon’s disciples” would be successful as my previous works (an alternate history trilogy) had done well.
not so with “disciples.” i’ve sold a total of nine copies.

Thanks, I was totally unaware of this, though I was attending as a child since the early sixties and I thought I had heard of everything.
I suggest they dropped the practice about the time the NWT supplanted the KJ and ASV in JW use. The NWT really butchered the poetic cadence, I doubt they would have wanted to recite 'let your name be sanctified' in unison.

News to me. I’ve read a lot of the Bible Student material pre-1916 and I don’t recall any discussion of it. Probably went the way of the Chatauqua Salute and the Love Feast.

Thanks for finding this Terry!
A couple of observations/ comments:
I didn't know TIME was around back in 1930, but sure enough, it started in '23.
The TIME author states that there were 1 million members of the IBSA and WT back then. Maybe that's what Rutherford told him, but I think by any measure it was nowhere near 1M in 1930.
TIME categorized the Bible Students as a 'California Cult' even then. Pretty smart!

The screenshot linked by Atlantis also contains the words 'cloudy envelope', which suggests that the previous page of the quotation was a discussion of the then-believed vapor canopy. They believed at the time (and into the '60s) that the predeluge earth was surrounded by a canopy of water, sometimes called the Vailian theory, which supposedly created a hothouse effect on the earth. Totally discredited scientifically, it was popular in the 1800's as it seemed to support the flood ideas.
