Penton mentions on page 47 that Rutherford was attracted to Bryan's "populist ideals" and footnotes to page 348 that Rutherford actually campaigned for Bryan.

Rutherford and William Jennings Bryan
by VM44 indoes anyone know where it mentioned that rutherford was involved in william jennings bryan's presidential campaign(s)?
also, i recall reading that rutherford said bryan was god's choice as president for the usa!
if that was so, then it is very strange that bryan was never elected president!.

I forgot to mention the Thomas' English Muffins which were available for free...day(s) old stuff...but free.
On one family night skit they did a "101 Things to do with the Thomas' English Muffins" skit. Quite funny.
Door stops, mini-pizzas, etc...

I loved it.
As Blondie said, one could "glean" food they wanted to eat and if something was not too good you could eat the leftovers.
The cheesecake and other desserts were exceptional, IMHO.
For most of my stay our table was a joke... breakfast and lunch were assigned seating and supper was open seating.

Comments from "30 Years a Watchtower Slave" that surprised me.....
by AK - Jeff ini had begun to read schnell's book when we first left - but in the 'fresh out of the borg' mental state, i had found it too caustic.
now i am reading it and find it quite interesting due to the time frame - in judge rutherford's era.. one of the premises that he states repeatedly in the book, took me by surprise.
i would be curious if any could confirm/deny the reality of his accusations here.

I placed it into a PDF, size = 19.95MB
If anyone would like it e-mailed, and you think your ISP can handle a 19.95 MB e-mail, PM and I'll send it.
Another option would be to quarter it.
Thanks Nathan.

Could you upload the file to savefile.com or another free hosting site? They take files up to 60MB.
That would be great but if that's not possible, I'll try to scan it within a week or two.

Increase of war--staggering statements from the Really Teach book
by M.J. inthe "bible teach" book, on p.89 says:millions of people have been killed in wars during the past century.
one british historian wrote: "the 20th century was the most murderous in recorded history...it was a century of almost unbroken war, with few and brief periods without organised and armed conflict somewhere.
" a report from the worldwatch institute states: "three times as many people fell victim to war in [the 20th] century as in all the wars from the first century ad to 1899.

To compare on quantity of deaths alone is not a complete analysis.
A more equitable comparison would be to calculate the deaths as a percentage of total humans on the earth at the time of the conflict …to get the “bloodiest.”
There are other ways to slice it as well…. But a strict “quantity” analysis is weak, IMHO.
