  Can you scan them? Or mail them to me so I can scan them, then mail them back to you?

  I have the 1952 Dwelling Together in Unity. Oh how I wish I had kept my two copies! They did a revision while I was there.

  Let us assume it was on Friday, October 2nd, 1914.

  Click here to calculate how long it's been since Russell entered the Bethel dining room and announced to the Bethel family: “The Gentile Times have ended; their kings have had their day.”

  You can force google to limit its search to a list of sites. Just replace the word "search" for what ever you are looking for.

  Any funny stories of when a"brother" giving a talk, said something "funny" or "questionable", and didn't even realize it?

  by Dunedain in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  there were always all types of speakers in the org.

  myself, growing up a "witness", must have heard all types of talks, and given by all manner of speakers, especially on sundays, when almost every week we would get a "visiting" brother giving the public talk.. sometimes, you would have a "great" speaker, all fluent and animated.

  other times we would get a comical speaker, one who would maybe purposelly get a few laughs outta the audience.

  There was an mp3 that was floating around US Bethel in the mid 2000's of a DC Talk where the Bethel speaker was trying to describe the difference between a Squid and an Octopus. He kept say Testicles when he meant to say tentacles.

  We got a stern talking to for not being loving and shaming our brother.

  "Midweek Meeting" and "Weekend Meeting" are now the official names.

  TO ALL BODIES OF ELDERS
  Re: Signs Announcing Meeting Times
  Dear Brothers:
  In view of the upcoming adjustments to our congregation meetings, please note the wording
  that should appear on signs that announce meeting times:
  Midweek Meeting [Day and Time]
  Weekend Meeting [Day and Time]
  If adjustments other than wording are made to the sign, please confirm that any zoning
  regulations are adhered to. Any expenses incurred would be the responsibility of the congregation
  rather than the branch office.
  We send our warm Christian love and best wishes.
  Your brothers,
