I just watched a video of an interview with James Beverley entitled 'Why Jehovah's Witness are Losing Members'. I thought it pretty good, although there are a few misstatements.

Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated
by RolRod insometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.
they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.
although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..

When did Russell go to prison?
The poster must have made a typo or misstated. Rutherford was in prison for a period, but never Russell.

Definitely interesting. Not entirely convinced, but curious. There is a 'part 2' (apparently is not posted) which I would like to see.

From Paradise Lost To Paradise Regained: Is the WTS the sole promoter of this doctrine?
by Pallbearer inhowdy folks,.
i am interested in learning whether or not the watchtower society is the only religious entity that teaches the "from paradise lost to paradise regained" idea.. the "idea" is that god's original purpose for man and the earth has not changed.
god purposed for adam and eve and their offspring to reproduce and fill the earth and live forever upon it; but the problem of sin entered into the picture and temporarily interrupted that purpose from being completed.

Maybe a little off target, but the title of the JW book Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained is a play on words referring to two classic poems by John Milton.

Which WT book (or booklet) has illustrations of prehistoric animals?
by Disillusioned JW ini remember that i once saw a wt book (or maybe a booklet) which in depicting one or two of the creative days of genesis had illustrations depicting now extinct prehistoric animals.
which publication was that?
i think the illustrations were of a 1950s or 1960s style.. update: i found it.

Good point DJW, just as putting pre-history dinosaurs in drawings along with humans is inaccurate, the drawings of modern species along with the earliest humans (Adam & Eve in the Creationist worldview) is likewise inaccurate. Particularly any domesticated animals which only slightly resemble the wild species from which they have been domesticated over several thousand years.

That’s awful. I hope the Bible students can repair it and that the perpetrators are caught.

Is the door to door preaching work not the primary focus anymore?
by pistolpete ina few months back, one of my uncles who was an elder, asked the co, why jehovah would allow the door to door preaching work, to come to an abrupt end.
this was when my uncle was starting to have serious doubts about the organization.. the co told him to be patient, and hang in there, because the governing body was on top of things and in time would explain what is happening regarding the preaching work.. my uncle asked; “what do you mean?”.
co said; “focus on the wt study articles in the coming months” .

In the local congregation there are about 30 regular pioneers now. The congregation is about 130 publishers I think. Mostly it is the women spending every morning on zoom chatting and writing letters.

What is the Jehovah’s Witness position on Unions and Labour action?
by hoser ini remember you weren’t supposed to picket or be involved in labour unrest.
is this still the jw policy?.

With some occupations you just about have to be a union member to have the job, so the WT has allowed membership. But they have frowned down on taking a leadership position like being a shop steward.
