Genesis Myth of Jacob and the Speckled Goats
by VM44 ingenesis 30:37-43
37 then jacob took for his use staffs still moist of the storax tree and of the almond tree and of the plane tree and peeled in them white peeled spots by laying bare white places which were upon the staffs.
38 finally the staffs that he had peeled he placed in front of the flock, in the gutters, in the water drinking troughs, where the flocks would come to drink, that they might get into a heat before them when they came to drink.. 39 consequently the flocks would get in heat before the staffs, and the flocks would produce striped, speckled and color-patched ones.

Watchtower will NOT accept legal responsibility
by VM44 ini posted this in another thread, but this comment from the watchtower deserves a thread of its own.
here is what the watchotwer wrote back in 1952 concerning legal liability and vaccinations.
i am sure they feel the same today, the watchtower will not assume legal liability for any misrepresentation it has made concerning blood transfusions.

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!

Bethel letter about meetings, field service are mandatory for Bethelites
by VM44 indoes anyone have the bethel letter that states meeting attendence and field service are mandatory for bethel workers?
.
there is also another boe letter that states meeting attence and field service are voluntary for the ordinary jehovah's witness, because they are volunteers.. i am trying to find both letters as, together, they show bethel workers are, unlike ordinary jws, truly representatives of the watcthower .
