GB Member Guy Pierce Memorial Card
by pale.emperor inhttp://library.jw-wayback.org/jw-wb/photos-pictures/people/guy%20pierce%20(1934-2014).pdf.
interesting to read his backstory.
a little sad that they refer to his first marriage as "guy married a woman with 2 children".

Chapter 15 New Boy 50 years a Watchtower Slave
by new boy inchapter 15. inwood.
it turned out that in 1970 there was a lot of changes being made at bethel.
one of the major changes was that a bethelite didn’t have to go to kings county or the brooklyn heights congregations first before getting assigned out to a local kingdom hall in the new york city area.

a watchtower magazine was better than a weapon. You want to see people flee from you, let them think you are going to pull out the w and a magazines and ask for a dime contribution.

how are they coping?.

I wonder if the fruit bill is because he took it from the commissary. If I remember correctly, the Bethelites have to pay for things from the commissary anyhow. It's not like the buffet food that they can get for free.
But still it takes a lot of nerve to invoice an out-going bethelite over such a trivial thing.
He has had some harsh treatment, and there's undoubtedly more to the story.

Thanks snug for the memories, both good and bad. To think that my dear old mom bought into this load of BS.... sad but true. I guess she found some meaning in it. <sigh>

Chapter 31 New Boy 50 years a Watchtower slave
by new boy inchapter 31. murder suicide and death at the big house.
the people at bethel were killing us spiritually and sometimes they killed us physically too.. many of the old timers were in the infirmary laying there just waiting to die of natural causes.
some had served there for over fifty years.

I remember meeting Wilbur Ruth when I visited my brother there in the '70s. But I remember his name being pronounced more like Wilmer or Wilmur, rather than Wilbur. Can't say for sure, though.

Russell Family Tree
by ILoveTTATT2 inunfortunately i had to zoom out to put all of the family tree in one picture.russell had 2 full brothers, 2 full sisters, and a half-sister.
it's interesting that margaret went on to be a jw (i.e.
stayed with the watchtower organization), whereas mabel, his half-sister, went on to stay with the bible students.it would be very interesting to find the descendants of both margaret and mabel... wondering how many still are bible students / jw's.... .

I think Russell's success was his writing ability. Maybe he didn't have much of an education, but he could write and write clearly in a way that made sense to people. It was all BS, but it read well.

In the states they allow pioneers to volunteer to clean or do maintenance at assemby halls, and count their time towards their required hours. It seems likely this guy was doing that too.

The anti-college stance goes back to the earliest days. I remember somewhere reading Russell's comments about college and they were all negative.

by new boy inback in the nineteen seventies hundreds of cars were stolen, in the city every day!
the new york post said "the average life span of a corvette stingray (sports car) parked on the street in new york was only 24 hours!".
one time driving back from rhode island at 2:00 a.m. i took a wrong turn in the south bronx’s.

Faces on TV Broadcasting
by TheFadingAlbatros ini agree that being photogenic is not given to every ordinary mortal.
.
but when at the beginning of every new month i am confronted with the various faces of those males showing off as a priority on tv-jw (see jw broadcating september 2017), i am asking myself if i honestly am faced with normal people, or with people who went mental already since ages ago.. is it maybe due to the fact that the majority of them already do not feel anymore like belonging to ordinary mortals ?
