  A Biography of Charles Taze Russell

  by Kenneson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in 1959, page 63, the divine plan of the ages denied that the watchtower society ever published a biography of charles taze russell.

  the writer certainly was not very knowledgeable.

  had he checked early watchtower magazines, he would have located russell's biography in the dec. 1, 1916 number.

  I lost my job at Microsoft today...thanks to a wonderful economy...

  for the last few years, many of my friends have lost their jobs and have not found suitable replacements.

  most are on unemployment, and those whose unemployment has run out are simply eeking out some meager existence doing something they don't like, that doesn't pay well, and doesn't help to really reduce the stress they face every day.. well, to be honest, i used to laugh my ass off at them.

  ha ha ha i would say.

  Misconceptions of the GB

  by Larry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what was your misconceptions about the gb?

  here was one of mine, when folks would ask me why wasn't their any blacks on the gb.

  i would say that the blacks weren't educated enough at the time (late 1800's - early 1900's) to govern a worldwide organization.

  The longest registered newbie

  by greatcrowd in

  2. friends

  i am an ex-witness who faded from the religion about 4 years ago.

  interestingly, i am not new to this board because i have been lurking here for over 2 years and enjoying the great wealth of spiritual food here.

  i feel so connected with many of the posters here because of my passive involvement with this board.

  Disctrict conventions and hot days

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as far as i can remember, the district convention was always the last week of june or first week of july in my region.

  in either case it was always very hot out, and where we gathered for the convention it was always very hot there also.

  this year would have been no exception since it was in the upper 80's and lower 90's since a few days here.. i can remember a couple of times when the temperature inside the olympic stadium in montreal was about 90f.
