  are all of the governing .body .members american citizens ?

  shouldn`t they at least represent a greater proportion of nations in light of jesus being a saviour of all the world ?.

  god loved the world of mankind right ?

  Thanks, Smiddy. Mom and her writing partners have put in hundreds of hours in getting it right. Volume one is slowly being revised to update it. I've read bits. And like it. I hope people read this; it changes the story of Watch Tower beginnings.

  This is from volume 2 of Separate Identity, a history of the Watch Tower's earliest years.

  My mom used to distance shoot using a 45-70 Highwall and a 45-90 Sharps. These are black powder rifles, very powerful. I enjoy shooting as well. Mom's best was on a 2 ft by 2 ft target at 780 yards using iron sights. Mom also participated in timed shoots. That's firing at a target with a pistol [Hers was a High Standard Olympic] as fast as you can with the best possible score. Mom won medals for that. She also had a single shot 45-70 Government load Thompson Contender. That's a pistol. Powerful enough to bring down a Buffalo, but only used for target practice.
  

  I do not do nearly so well. I do not hunt, though one of my uncles does, and I enjoy the venison.

  There is nothing wrong, in my opinion, with having a gun for protection, for hunting, or for target shooting. I will refrain from insult -okay so it's a mild insult- but American interest in guns and shooting meant that twice Americans and Canadians saved your sorry European butts.

  Debate

  by gabcol in

  back in the day, russell and rutherford would hold debates with other religious leaders.

  why has jehovah's witnesses stopped doing that?

  i think it would be very interesting to see how they would hold up on a debate now.

  I'm not certain a public debate would accomplish anything. Most people come out of a debate with the same opinions with which they entered, don't they? I was never swayed by a debate, but then most of those I attended were put on by students who weren't always the sharpest nail in the took kit.

  How about the descendants of those brought here as indentured servants, slaves for seven years, sometimes prostituted? White males and females from England ...
