The start of american adventism. Of course there is one religion that started then which was examined and found true. Ignore the Miller roots, other Adventist teachings borrowed, and pyramidology.

Part of the phenomena was the freedom of religion (no state church] and the industrial revolution which gave some free time. Greater literacy helped too as did printing presses.

Rutherford Exposed: The Story of Berta and Bonnie (redux)

by Leolaia in

in september 2004, farkel posted an article on this forum called "rutherford exposed: the story of berta and bonnie.

" his essay, which subsequently was translated into several languages and which received over 10,000 views after the first month, spawned a thread that ran 28 pages and contained the collaborative research efforts of many in jwd.

this thread was thought by some moderators to be the best in the forum -- not necessarily because of the claims in the original essay but because it inspired a staggering amount of research aimed at assessing the credibility of the claims made in the essay, as well as adding to our knowledge of this fascinating yet obscure chapter of watchtower history.

Back in the 50s my mother knew about these scandals. It was harder then to prove things than now. Even then as a child I could weigh the likelihood that it was true.

The instructions from mother did say to avoid meeting if you had been in contact with a person who tested positive.

SO. tada. everyone who went is supposed to miss for 10 days.

I have heard lots of glad to see people but no comments on the deep encouraging material.
