Not posted for a year because mum died did not want blood.
by Witness 007 ini posted here weekly until a year ago when my mum died of a mild form of lukemia which is easy to treat with 2 blood tranfusions a month.
you can live to 100 with treatment, but no my mum chose to die a faithful witness after 2 years of chemo and hell for her family and doctors.
her chemo doctor cried when she only had weeks left to live knowing that she could be saved with one bag of blood!

I was just wondering today if those GB guys see what the apostates are saying about them and have some fun with it.
"Hey Anthony, they're calling you Tight Pants Tony."
"Yeah Lett but they are calling you Rubber Lips." -

Angelophone
by TheWonderofYou inwith 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.

Thanks so much for sharing this. I have a collection the the Angelophone records I inherited. I had no idea of the history behind it. Now I'm going to have to dig them out and play them on the only thing I still have that can play them, a WT portable phonograph.

I'm really curious about your fifth generation roots. I am 62, third generation who's roots go back to 1910. I was an only child of Gilead grads, and have thought that my parents really went against the grain having me. Being fifth generation means several of your ancestors did that.

It's been at lest 25 years since I was the accounts servant, but the posts above describe the situation I experienced. There were maybe 2 or 3 retired guys who worked, in my case, for an airline or a large utility who consistantly made regular contributions via check once a month. But no where near what was needed. Being self employed myself and a person who could not stand red ink, it bothered me every time I collected the money from the box and wondered how in the world we were going to pay the bills with the small bills and change I collected out of the box. We barely scraped by every month.
