The JWmobile does not appear to have sound. One of the main reasons the old sound cars were discontinued was that the Society lost a case in the US supreme court about them. The Court ruled that a city could pass an ordinance limiting the volume of amplification, and it was not an infringement of free speech. The effectively put the Sound Cars out of business.

About this van though, it looks like something they might take to a county fair or something like that.

by Terry in

april 13, 1932 the golden age p.429.

demonism in its latest aspects.

probably within the same category are to be included some of the musical prodigies.

Seems like each year they report an increase of 2-3 percent in publishers and baptisms. But where the new people are is a mystery. Most assemblies I have been to have baptisms in the low single digits, sometimes just one or two. And I don't recall the last time I saw a new Witness who wasn't already family-associated in some way. It's like if the government reported inflation of 3 percent but everything you purchase had the same price as before or even lower. It just doesn't add up.

I am glad to see this archival material readily available at the site referenced in the OP. My first steps out were a deep reading of much of this same information. I purchased a number of books which at the time were republished by a Bible Student group in Chicago.

I am a bit curious though about this site www.pastor-russell.com . It seems odd they state they were the first to make this material available online in 1997. Well, maybe online, but I had copies of the same things on my shelf back in the '80's. Then they caution against downloading the material anywhere else, as they are the only official source. But much of the material was not copyrighted or the copyright has expired, so there is no official source. They have watermarked all their downloads, the purpose of which is unclear. They even have the audacity to put up scans of the 1975 yearbook and the 1993 JW history book, which <are> under copyright by the WT society, and they put their own watermark on that too.

I appreciated what they have done, but something about it doesn't smell right.

The Family Worship Night is a blessing for me (spreads TTATT)

so because of a new job that i got, i have to stay in my parents' city for 6 months.

thereafter i can move.. so i am back at my parent's house.

my dad is fully awakened now, it will just take time for him to accept the invalidity of the blood doctrine and the disfellowshipping doctrine, or anyone for that matter.. my mom was delighted when i said i wanted to join them in the family worship night.

It is my hope that the new NWT helps some Witnesses wake up, because if you read the Bible, particularly the letters of Paul in context in a decent translation, it becomes self -evident that the WT doctrines are wrong .

when i went over my parents house yesterday, you could see the excitement, the energy in their eyes when they talked about it.

my dad even pumped his fist like he won something when he was talking about it.

Maybe they will monitor the WT too. Now that might turn up some surprises.
