  Angelophone

  with the success of the photodrama in mind, and the realisation that records were now highly popular, a few bible students set up the angelico company in 1916. ostensibly it was to manufacture and sell phonographs, but with each purchase came a set of 50 angelophone recordings.

  for some reason they were numbered 49-98, although it is certain that no 1-48 were ever issued.

  henry burr (1882-1941) was a canadian singer of popular songs from the early 20th century, an early radio performer and producer.

  Here is the description of these records from the original WATCHTOWER MAGAZINE of April 1, 1917:

  "Some time before his death Brother Russell arranged to have a set of fifty phonograph records made of the choicest old fireside tunes, many from the MILLENNIAL DAWN HYMNAL. On the reverse side a short talk by himself explaining the doctrinal points of the hymn. It was his thought that a large number of these should be prepared and sold to the five and ten cent stores, expecting that they would have a wide sale and awaken in the minds of the righteously disposed a desire for spiritual things. Brother Russell was always alive to use every channel possible to send out the light and truth and each of these talks is a gem itself.
  

  "Friends who knew of his plan urged him to have the Bible Talks recorded in his own voice. This he did; but owing to his rapidly declining strength, it was later found that his voice was not strong enough to make a good record.
  

  "Brother Russell then thought to have them re-recorded by the gentleman who made the CREATION DRAMA records so great a success. Our Pastor's death, however, upset these plans.
  

  "The brethren interested in the Angelophone Company, believing that Brother Russell's friends would be very glad to have even so weak a record of his voice, continued to carry out his instructions so far as possible. Some of the friends who purchased the records, not understanding why Brother Russell's voice was so weak and low, and thinking the manufacturer at fault, complained. Others who purchased the records write that they are so well pleased that they would not be without them for a thousand dollars, if they could not secure another set. We believe that many more will take this same view when they understand all the circumstances."

  With the success of the Photodrama in mind, and the realisation that records were now highly popular, a few Bible Students set up the Angelico Company in 1916. Ostensibly it was to manufacture and sell phonographs, but with each purchase came a set of 50 Angelophone recordings. For some reason they were numbered 49-98, although it is certain that no 1-48 were ever issued.

  Henry Burr (1882-1941) was a Canadian singer of popular songs from the early 20th century, an early radio performer and producer. He was born Harry Haley McClaskey and used Henry Burr as one of his many pseudonyms (Youtube)

  Here he sings "Are you lonesome tonight", later known from Elvis Presley.

  
  

  Angelico Records offered a set of 50 gramophone records, entitled "Old Fireside Hymns", sung by the celebrated baritone Henry Burr. The reverse side recorded the voice of Charles Taze Russell with his comments on each hymn.
  Sound recording was in its infancy at that time, and the gramophone records were recorded and played mechanically.
  The records had an accompanying companion Angelophone song book. The right-hand pages contained the words and music, while the left pages were devoted to the text of a short talk by Pastor Russell, giving his reflections prompted by each hymn.

  This book was for personal rather than congregational use.

  A researcher uploaded the lectures with the voice of brother Russel on youtube beginning with 49

  The whole book is to be found on the biblestudentsarchive, this is LECTURE + SONGS

  The first song was, sadly no recording with the famous singer on youtube.

  How much different the biblestudents were as represented in the todays histroy books of the Watchtower!

  Today's Text - Jehovah is my helper!

  by Divergent in

  tuesday, october 18. jehovah is my helper; i will not be afraid.—heb.

  13:6.. “people often comment about how happy jehovah’s witnesses are,” says a longtime elder in a developing country.

  “they also notice that even poor witnesses are always nicely dressed and appear to be better off than others.” this harmonizes with the promise jesus made to those who put the kingdom first.

  The production of bible scrolls was expensive too in the ancient time, not everyone could have a personal copy of the bible. So the rich? apostle Paul had some scrolls for daily usage.

  Hebr. 13,6 "The Lord is my helper"

  from Codex Sinaiticus Archiv BL Folio 293b scribe: A.

  C.S. is the first complete bible manuscript writting in the 4 century A.D. In the Codex Sinaiticus the New Testament is written in koiné greek and the OT followed the text of the Septuaginta which was the bible the first christian used. Look how koiné greek looked like. Kyrios-Lord was abbreviated KC here

  

  κϲ εμοι βοηθοϲ (transcription) arabic: kurios emoi boethos

  
  

  Kc (Κύριος) = The Lord

  ἐμοὶ = emoi = is βοηθός = boethos =my helper _____ I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” ου φοβηθηϲομαι = (kai) ou phobethesomai (and) not I will be afraid τι ποιηϲει = ti poeisei what will μοι = moi an : to me ανθρωποϲ = anthropos: man this is I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? (NWT) ____ Compare this to the modern greek language that is used today by greek speeking people. Looks very similar. Even Kúrios for LORD. Κύριος ἐμοὶ βοηθός, [c]οὐ φοβηθήσομαι· τί ποιήσει μοι ἄνθρωπος; ____ But the J.W. bible (NWT) uses Jehova (in greek Ιεχωβά) where kyrios stands in the oldest manuscript! “Jehovah* is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” and in the modern greek NWT «Ο Ιεχωβά είναι βοηθός μου· δεν θα φοβηθώ. Τι μπορεί να μου κάνει άνθρωπος;»

  Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians, why do so many ex JW's deny this?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses accept jesus as christ, the son of god.

  they try, in their own way, to live by his teachings and imitate him.

  they pray, read the bible and meet together regularly for worship.. i won't minimise any of the harm and damage they cause but for the life of me, i can't see how anyone can credibly deny that they are christians.. why do so many former jws have a problem with this?

  This book was published in 2000 the same year as the Geneve

  1st European Congress on Bloodless Health Care“

  occurred.

  
  

  Shannon Farmer is Coordinator of the Center for Bloodless Medicine and Surgery at Freemantle Kaleeya Hospital in Perth, Western Australia. Farmer was involved in setting up Kaleeya's bloodless surgery program in 1990, the first private hospital in Australia to establish such a center.

  There are currently more than 200 hospitals throughout the United States offering similar medical services. Farmer is a member of the National Association for Bloodless Medicine and Surgery (NABMS), part of a worldwide network linking coordinators, researchers and some of the world's leading surgeons and medical specialists. He is also a member of the Network for Advancement of Transfusion Alternatives (NATA) founded in Graz, Austria.
  

  Review by Marvin Shilmer
  A reading of Your Body Your Choice, by Shannon Farmer and David Webb, is educational. As advertised, language usage and subject approach is kept reasonably readable for the medical layperson.
  I find Farmer and Webb's statements regarding the subject accurate for the most part, though here and there are found inconsistencies that are probably minor to most readers.
  For example, the Preface includes the statement that "some experts are predicting blood transfusion will be obsolete within 10 to 15 years." Yet in other sections of the book we find premises based on future increases in the use of blood medically. For example, regarding blood availability for transfusion, on page 76 and 77 we find the statement "Experts predict an annual four million unit deficit by the year 2030." Blood availability for transfusion is only a problem if blood transfusion remains a viable medical practice, and 2030 is well beyond a 10 to 15 year point of obsolescence. Farmer and Webb also cite medical authorities indicating that medical use of blood transfusion has viability extending beyond 10 to 15 years. For example, on page 144 Dr. Aryeh Shander is quoted as saying, "Long-term is establishing the fact that allogeneic transfusions are a thing of the past and will never be seen again in medicine." Such a statement contains no indication that all blood transfusions will be obsolete in the long-term but rather only allogeneic transfusions. So which of these expert opinions should we trust when it comes to blood transfusions 10 to 15 years from now? Farmer and Webb do not answer this question though the statement in the Preface leads readers to conclude something inconsistent with the main text.
  Notably Farmer and Webb frequently refer to patients refusing uses of blood for religious reasons. Since Farmer is a member of the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses and since members of this religion are most notable for refusing various uses of blood then we must conclude at least some of the references apply to Jehovah's Witness patients. (The bibliography also evidences this)
  As Farmer is a member of the Jehovah's Witness community I must applaud him in particular -- I have no idea of Webb's religious affiliation -- because he walks such a fine line of providing reasonably accurate information contrary to what many Jehovah's Witnesses want to believe, but without upsetting his religious affiliation. I say this because notable members of his religion have endorsed this book -- such as Jan Wade. Farmer has found a way of accurately informing the public and Jehovah's Witnesses that sometimes uses of blood are medically necessary even though a person's religious beliefs may forbid those uses. In the main he does this by letting experts do the talking rather than making the assertion himself. For example, rather than saying himself that sometimes transfusion of allogeneic blood is medically necessary he quotes an authority. In this instance he quotes Dr. Richard K. Spence as saying of "bloodless medicine" that "These alternatives are far ranging and include... predonation of blood,... modification of both transfusion triggers and surgical techniques and the use of leucoreduced allogeneic blood when it is necessary." Surely Farmer knows that his religion forbids predonation of blood and using leucoreduced allogeneic blood for transfusion, yet he has found a way to accurately convey that these are sound medical practices when indicated, and sometimes necessary. In this way Farmer, and Webb, help educated patients that in some cases use of allogeneic blood is necessary to preventing premature death and/or preserving health. In these cases a choice otherwise means suffering premature death, a sobering thought.
