governing buzzards ?
changes in religious doctrine, dogma, cannon, practices, liturgy and ritual are common and almost all christians have witnessed this in their denominations ?
including fringe groups like jehovah?s witnesses.
Hi Alf3831,
We need more research like you have done.
Are you planning a book?
From the info you provided, I found the following about Rutherford's son
Malcolm C. Rutherford, born 10 Nov 1892, died 22 Jun 1989, place of death Arcadia, Los Angeles, CA 91006 SS# 551-68-0432
This will provide people with a starting point to do further research.
It might be useful to find any newspaper obituary written for Malcolm.

Hi Amazing,
Another interesting installment. Keep them coming!
Is there anyone left living who knew Rutherford well enough to know first hand what happened?
Hi BeelzeDub,
Do you know if Joe's son Malcome is still alive or has he passed on?
Rutherford's son died quite awhile ago. I find it very unusual that Rutherford's son never made any statement about his father, considering the number of people Rutherford led while alive. This silence on the son's part lead me to think that there was some agreement made for him never to say anything. No first hand facts to keep everyone in the dark forever!

am i correct in thinking that the gb members are unpaid for their role on the board?
how, then, do they survive?
I read in the book, "The Orwellian World of Jehovah's Witnesses" that Fred Franz once took a group of people out to a Chinese Restaurant. I always wondered how he was able to pay the tab.

The use of the word "Mystery" is popular!
We have:
"Babylonian MYSTERY Religion",
"The Finished MYSTERY" followed by,
"Then is Finished the MYSTERY of God"
and of course the mysterious
"MYSTERY Doctrine"
It is a mystery to me why the word Mystery is so popular! (Sales tactic?)

"atlantis, the lost empire" was an animated film released by disney.
in it quartz crystals were featured as the power source for atlantis.
back in the early 1970s, the popular dr who series had an episode ("the time monster") about atlantis, and again, crystals were used, and the crystals had something to do with the destruction of the continent.
Hi darkuncle29,
Thank you for the infomation.
I was wondering how cystals were added to the popular legend of Atlantis. I have the feeling that they were added somewhat recently (sometime in the 20th century), and that it might have something to do with esoteric New Age teachings.

The legend of Atlantis goes back to at least Plato, but Plato did not mention anything about crystals!
So, how did this association of crystals with the Atlantis legend come about? Does anyone know?
