    Hey Slayer, I thought I recognized you on a couple of Scooby doo shows.
    That Scooby is a great actor.

    Do you think you could get his autograph for me?

    This is what the Encyclopedia Americana says:

    He and Ida moved steadily toward a more primitive Christianity, eventually joining the Jehovah's Witnesses. None of their sons became notably devout--Dwight never joined a church and rarely attended a church service in his adult life--but none staged a dramatic rebellion against religion either. At the core of his parents' religion was an ingrained respect for the individual as a creature of God who had free will. They insisted that their boys be fully exposed to Christianity, but beyond that they did not impose their beliefs. The Eisenhowers also encouraged their children to be independent and self-reliant.

    Also, it was not the custom of JWs then to have formal bible studies with their children. I doubt if they even went to meetings. Certainly, when he went to West Point there was no doubt where his goals lay...

    Don't recall the first name, but the original Northrup of the large seed company, recently known as Northrup-King, was a contributor/supporter of WBTS in early 1900s.

    US Army Brigadier General William P. Hall was a corporate officer of one of the 3 early corps (probably IBSA) while he served at Army headquarters in Washington DC. This was sometime around 1910-15.

    Pres. Ike's parents were active Bible Students at the time Ike entered West Point around 1911. His mother wasn't happy about such, but his father evidently supported Ike's decision. This would be consistent with Hall's position in the Society at that time.

    Sorry, had not read "Blondies" post before I posted above.

    Ike's parents held the local BS meetings in their home for about 10 years, which meant that Ike attended such prior to entering West Point.
