I find it funny that, although the blue Truth book was ubiquitous at one time, it’s hard to even find one now. There should be a list of books ‘most copies thrown in the garbage’.

Diog, you are correct, there was no singing or music for a number of years under Rutherford. Knorr brought it back very soon afterwards. The display at Warwick doesn’t mention that.

Actually, we did get a family photo with Caleb and Sophia, but my still-in daughter and son-in-law are in it and I didn't want to post it here. Another thing that I saw that I didn't get a photo of was the 'watchtower'. Yep, they have a watchtower there, an observation tower that you can go up and get a view of the entire campus and surrounding hills. It's not on the regular tour, but if you know someone there they can take you up it.

One thing that struck me was was the drab, institutional appearance of the buildings at Warwick. Besides gray, I don’t think they have any colors on the exterior. Admittedly, winter in that area is bare and drab anyway, but the Warwick campus is especially dull.

When did Watchtower writings start becoming anonymous?
by Wild_Thing ini think most people know that authorship was credited in the old watchtower literature, but at some point everything became anonymous.
i still do not know exactly when this started, but i found this in charles taze russell's last will and testament.
his will was not honored in other respects, so i doubt they would have honored this request.

Calling All Watchtower Historians ... What was the V.F.V.?
by Wild_Thing inin the may 27, 1942 edition of the consolation, the watchtower society devoted several pages to the controversy surrounding the burial of joseph rutherford.
in several sections, they write about "the opposition" in vague terms without much specificity as to who these other groups of people were who were supposedly persecuting them.
one section refers to a group called v.f.v.

The VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) and American Legion are specifically mentioned in Part 8 of the linked documents, so it is likely that Tara is correct.

There is a common belief that FW Franz was ghost writer for some of Rutherfords later books anyway.

The Red Headed League
by dropoffyourkeylee ini am sitting here watching my pioneering wife get service time ‘writing letters’ to not-at-homes.
she has a long list of names and addressees where the jws in field service never got anyone home.
the letter is simply a word for word copy, handwritten on note paper, then sent in the usmail.

I think they get all the names to match to addresses off the internet, in public domain. I think there are a fair number of letters returned with the incorrect name or address. The letter writer puts his or her name, first and last, on the return address, but the address is a PO Box for the KH. -

I am reminded of the Sherlock Holmes story ‘The Red Headed League’, where the criminals hired a red haired man to copy out the Britannica encyclopedia by hand , merely to get him out of his office during the day so they could dig a tunnel to rob a bank. Funny in a way.

Languages, Dialects, Accents
by LoveUniHateExams injust though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.
first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.
red, arrow, break.
