a male noncitizen under the age of 26 who takes up residency in the united states must also register with selective service within 30 days of becoming a resident.
all of those required to do so should comply with this law, viewing it as a christian's obligation to the superior authorities.

Rutherford and Elevators -- All Others Use the Stairs
by VM44 induring the olin moyle court case, some of the "jehovah's witnesses" witnesses were asked on the stand if they knew if the elevators were held at ground floor at lunchtime so that rutherford would not have to wait to use them when he returned to the building.. other people had to use the stairs; the elevators had to be kept ready for rutherford.. the jw witnesses denied knowing anything about this.
but in reading the transcript of the trial, one gets the impression that none of the jws wanted to admit anything negative about rutherford, for instance, that rutherford would give "trimmings" (verbal scolding) to individuals at lunchtime was not readily admitted by even clayton woodworth, a person who had direct experience being reprimanded by the "judge"!.
trying to get info from the witnesses appeared to be like squeezing water from a stone!

Aid To Bible Understanding on CD?
by VM44 ini saw in englishman's "un-sanitized watchtower publications cd" post a picture of a cd labled "aid to bible understanding".. that is one very thick book, and i would not want to even think of how long it would take someone to scan all the pages and make a pdf document of it!.
for some reason, i liked the aid book better than the more recent 2 volume "insight" book.. is that "aid" cd available?
where could one order it?
