  Update.

  For those who are interested in older issues of Barbour's magazine, the folks over at http://truthhistory.blogspot.com/

  are making a PDF available of an early issue of The Midnight Cry and the Herald of the Morning. It's the January 1874 issue which has never before been public to researchers. Issues of this magazine are very significant in understanding the influences and history of the Barbour/Russell movement. It was issues of this magazine which Charles Taze Russell read in 1875/6 which led to his accepting the idea of an invisible presence of Christ in 1874 and the 1874-1914 chronology.

  Information on how to obtain a PDF copy of this issue can be found at:

  http://truthhistory.blogspot.com/2009/08/herald-of-morning.html

  Contributions for the PDF will be used by these researchers to provide more photocopies of other older Watchtower related publications. It's a worthy cause.

  Perhaps later more issues of The Herald of the Morning will surface.

  Marley Cole's "Jehovah's Witnesses - The New World Society"

  by witnessgirl in

  well, i just finished reading marley cole's "jehovah's witnesses - the new world society" book from 1955. i'll provide a few quotes to introduce it in case you aren't familiar with the book.

  ray franz in crisis of conscience, p74, 2004 hc edition: cole wrote the book as if he were a non-witness writing an objective account.

  the idea was that by having the book published by an outside publishing firm it might reach persons who normally would not take society literature.

  Well, the new song book was not released at the convention. All they did was say that one will be available for congregations in September. So, if you're pretending to be in, then you would not have seen one yet. You just heard that one will be sent to the congregation soon.

  It probably does suffer from some accuracy issues but major bleeding usually requires blood transfusions.

  I was thinking tonight that a good script writer knowledgeable on JW blood issues could craft a good story for a new movie. Not only do you have the maze of rules on what's acceptable and not acceptable, there's the whole hospital liason committee and the fear of becoming disassociated.

  I saw this film many long years ago under a different title. In America it was released about 1965 as "Walk in the Shadows." It's one of Patrick McGoohan's (The Prisoner) early films. It's now available on DVD. From a review:

  http://www.cinedelica.com/2007/07/dvd-review-life.html

  Life For Ruth is set in early 60s Durham - not really kitchensink, but with enough realism to make it very believable. The tale revolves around Ruth, an eight-year-old girl and daughter of John Harris (Michael Craig) and Pat Harris (Janet Munro). Playing on the beach, Ruth loses her ball and sets out in a rowing boat with a friend to retrieve it. John Harris spots them in danger, swims out to rescue the pair, but only succeeds in saving the boy - his daughter Ruth is rushed to hospital.

  A blood transfusion could save Ruth, but John refuses - he is a member of an unnamed religion that opposes such a thing. Despite the protestations of Doctor Brown (Patrick McGoohan), he maintains that his daughter cannot have blood, fearing it will stop his daughter from enjoying eternal life. Ruth dies - and the doctor wants John Harris to face charges for his actions. The case does go to court, with the jury asked to decide between the legal obligation of a parent to his child or the moral obligation Harris feels towards his religious beliefs.

  There's a You Tube selection up:

  It's been so long since I saw this that I don't really remember what I thought at the time. I was a JW then so my viewpoint would be different now. I thought, though, it'd be of interest to some here and perhaps others have seen this and can comment on it.

  My wife heard me playing the first one. She had no idea what it was from. She says: "It sounds like something from the movie Jurassic Park." The more I think about it, it does.
