This is for the really die hard researcher
Reference is made of this case in Penton's book..
''JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES IN CANADA: ''
Champions of Freedom of Speech and Worship
(ISBN: 0770513409)
M. James Penton
Toronto: MacMillan of Canada,...1976
Not an easy book to come by.
The pdf is of the Australian Government 's files relating to the
Adelaide Company of Jehovah's Witnesses Inc V The Commonwealth of Australia.
Contents date range
22 Oct 1940 - 10 Jul 1944
This time period includes the War years that the Watchtower was under ban here in Australia. Some of the reports are a good read.
From the court transcript : (page 128 of the file).
'' William Karl Schneider, sworn : Examined by Mr. Alderman :
....You are a Jehovah's Witness? - - - Yes.
And you have been for how long? - - - Since 1922....
....For some time now , you have devoted all your time to the work of the organisation, have not you? - - - Yes.
Since when - - - Since 1925.''
Hmmm, I wonder if he went full time because the world was coming to an end in 1925 ?
The files also have a few news clippings from the time.
There is a lot to wade through though
Some of the pages are not so clear, so a bit harder to read than others.
May be of use to file away for future reference.
