  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 believe the book you are referring to is known as the "Divine Purpose" book.

  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.

  Sorry for your loss, what a shocker!

  But unfortunately companies are in the business of making money not in the business of making employees. The bottom line is usually the determining factor, along with decisions made on facts not emotions. The Presidency did not cost your job neither will it return it to you.

  Misconceptions of the GB

  by Larry in

  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.

  All,

  The teaching of blacks being cursed is not a JW teaching. Any reference of this nature would have to go back to the Russell days, if at all.

  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.

  One body has been officially identified. It was the youngest, 21 years, Joshua Howard. He was wearing a life vest, apparently also lashed to a cooler. Very sad.
