  It's interesting how things have changed. Growing up the Catholics were condemned as false religion because of all the property they owned.

  I never knew Weldon, but my dad was on his email list. I sent Weldon and email telling him of my father's passing and then I was on his list. It's interesting to read all the comments above from those that knew him. Thanks for posting the link.

  Now wait a minute. I thought the watchtower logo was a thing of the past, not to be put on Kingdom Halls. But it's OK there?

  It appears there is only one property, the empty lot at 85 Jay St. Is that what everyone else sees?

  i war reading an interesting research article about charles taze russell and all of his financial dealings.

  this caught my eye:.

  charles taze russell and the watchtower society were in deep business distress after the "busted" october 1914 prophecy failure, and particularly after the "busted" october 1915 prophecy failure.

  Interesting information about what was happening in 1915. Goes along with what MacMillan stated in this letter he wrote to my grandfather in that same year.

  Super JW Cart

  i have a confession to make.

  a strange urge is building in my brain... each time i see a jw literature cart on the street it builds.

  it is becoming a stronger and stronger thought in my mind.

  Lots of great ideas here.

  Next time I am asked by a tourist to take their picture and they hand me their camera, I am going to take off running with it. Not far, but just a few steps see their reaction and get a laugh out of it. I think this would be a good thing to do with the cart, just to see how they react. Of course have a friend capture it all on video and then make a compilation for Youtube.

  First thoughts on "new" meeting...

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  had a quick look at the workbook and flicked through the sample meeting video.. the increased use of video shows the trend for more centralised dissemination of "best practice" .

  sure there isn't really a "school" any more and the format is a bit different but i think those that called it as the same old crap just in new package got it pretty much right.

  If they ever produce a video requiring a cave man, the guy introducing the video would be a good fit.
