Excellent, thanks. We think this is an abbreviation of the original 30 page booklet, but it will do nicely. Thanks for your help and interest.

it's that time of year again when i can get back on the fields with the metal detector looking for ancient stuff.
the first field to be harvested was full of peas - ideal as it leaves no stubble and it's a two minute walk from my house.
it has given up two coins in two visits this week.. the first one is a cut-half silver penny from the reign of henry ii.
I think all episodes of Time Team are on youtube. Still worth watching.

Simon,
It's not about what he meant to say. It's about what he said. Language is exacting, or should be. If we must translate what another said, then where is meaning in language?

Slim,
That may be what he meant. But it is not what he said. Also, there are other, perhaps primary factors that might lead an "intelligent" woman to a decision to have few or no children. One obvious factor is complexity and stress connected to a career choice. Shouldn't we expect posters to say what they mean? We have no warrant to 'translate' their thoughts into something else.

Dear Waton,
I'm a MENSA member with an IQ variously estimated to be between 170 and 180. I have five daughters - three birth, two adopted. Two of my daughters are also MENSA members. Your premise is flawed.
immersed in dickens and hawthorne, i cannot easily shake off the dusty antiquity of a bygone era.
however, its scant reality inhabits, not the present, but my sad hearkening back to the shadows of long ago.. hot blood pulses anew within fingers i thought stilled forever in a writer's graveyard of unwritten verse.
it is a reluctant awakening to a life much sadder than that endured by storybook friends who cannot see me, know me.. permit me, therefore, to reenter that precious twilight betwixt my present and the past, the faraway there of dearly departed poets.
My dad who wrote science, nuclear physics and separations chemistry and the like, would sit in his chair, his fingers steepled, and think through each sentence. There was seldom any need for revision. He wrote by hand with an old Shaffer fountain pen using a quadrille tablet.
I sit at my computer and just write it. There's a tonne of revision and rewrite. Which of us that picture would reflect is an open question.
ok. many people deny ct russell was a freemason.
i have read articles whereby some have found no evidence to prove he was one at any point in his life.. however, given all the masonic symbols in the early publications including the use of the name jehovah ( the name the freemason's use to identify god), as well as the expressions used such as 'new world, new order' etc certainly raises suspicions.. then there is the article he wrote in the herald magazine outlining that he was a freemason (see the following video 40 seconds in).
it really does make you think!.
Whynot, How do you know that Russell attended Masonic meetings and donated money? Please point me to your source.
can someone direct me to jw refutations of the harsh criticisms of charles russell and judge rutherford that are on the internet and youtube?
i am a fair person and insist on hearing both sides to a controversy.
in this case, i would like to know what traditional yw responds to such personal criticisms and alleged changes in beliefs.
We gave a survey of Russell's business interests in volume 1. We won't touch on that again in vol2. If we write the third book in this series, tentatively titled On the Cusp of Fame, they become an issue again. And we'll consider them in more detail then.

Dear Duv,
Not everything written about the two men is accurate. You may want to read Zoe Knox's Jehovah's Witnesses and the Secular World. Dr, Knox is generally a good researcher and and she's an academic, not an opposition writer. So she's fairly neutral.
Chryssides' Jehovah's Witnesses: Continuity and Change is another book by an academic. It's not always accurate, but the errors are minor. Again, a neutral book, as far as any book can be neutral.
Be aware that many things said about Rutherford simply are not true. There's a well-known photo of him and some of his friends drinking that is supposed to prove he's a drunk. The only problem is that they're drinking root beer, The glasses are root beer cups and the dispenser is a root beer dispenser. Be cautious and do not accept anything without convincing evidence. Convincing evidence is eye-witness, original documents. Not some claim made on the internet.
Another Rutherford story is someone finding a bobby pin in his bed. They presumed it was proof he was a fornicator. Except ... he was losing his hair, and one of the contemporary remedies was something called Lucky Tiger. One rubbed it into his scalp and wore a skull cap secured with bobby pins. So there is no solid proof in that story. I'd be pleased to find solid proof, or a solid refutation. I have not found either. In my wordy way, I'm simply advising caution.
