  Watchtower Vertical Phonograph

  by Big Tex in

  1. social
  2. current

  i remember hearing stories about how the witnesses would use phonographs in service (was this in the 1930's or 1940s?

  ) rather than actually talking to the person, but i had never seen a picture of one until now.

  i didn't know the mechanics of how it worked until i read this description:

  How could have Rutherford been a 'drunk'?

  by wholewheat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i feel that the apostate's claims that rutherford was a drunk to be far fetched.

  on the one hand, they claim that he was so drunk that the brothers at bethel shipped him to san diego to beth sarim, where he stayed drunk out of his mind, then on the other hand, they claimed that he ruled the society with an iron fist, that he was a dictator.

  no drunk could have ruled the society like a dictator.

  Beth Sarim Revisited 4 Newbies

  by Farkel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at 4440 braeburn road, san diego, ca., in the rich and prestigious neighborhood of the kensington heights neighborhood sits one of the biggest embarrassments in the long and continuing list of embarrassments the watchtower society has created for itself.. most dubs know nothing about it, and if it wasnt for a few brief comments about it in the proclaimers book in 1993, even fewer dubs would know anything at all about it.. it is the home once known as beth-sarim (pronounced beth-sareeeem), the house of the princes.. it is a house with a history the society has shown by its historical lack of candor, hopes everyone would forget.

  in fact, the society has done just about everything it could do to ensure that its history will be forgotten.

  in the first book devoted to discussing the history of jehovahs witnesses, this house and its history is not even mentioned.

  Joseph Rutherford and Burlesque

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no one really expects 'perfection' of their fellow humans, even of those in high station.

  our past president, bill clinton certainly demonstrated that men in high station can and do give into acts that are not accepted by the public at large.

  likewise, i doubt anyone expects that joseph rutherford would be perfect, but we would expect that as a human, he had his ways.. what about "true" spiritual leaders?

  rutherford

  by jurs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever since i started questioning wether the truth is really the truth.

  i'm apalled at how much information is out there that just shatters the organization.

  one intersesting site out of many is jesus-witnesses.com (the seven points of watchtower indoctrination) anyhow i never knew that rutherford smoked cigars and was a notorious alcoholic.

  JWs and Alcohol Abuse/Addition/Escapism

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first started studying in 84 at the ripe ol age of 29, i was told oft and repeatedly that jws did everything in moderation, and nothing sinful or unbiblical.

  apparently, like everything else, they have added footnotes to the scriptures that say not to get drunk, as that seems to be their only "legitimate" (read, unregulated) escape from the reality that is the witchtrowel babble and trash sectciety.. there was one elder in my first congregation that reeked of alcohol even first thing in the morning at field service.

  i was told by someone "born in the truth" that he had a "body chemistry problem, whereby when he would sweat it would smell like alcohol, and he did sweat profusely...hence the reddenned face.
