Nathan, you need to do some more research in regard to what the workers thoughts were on radios in the 70's. A particular worker went around and broke aerials off cars at convention in the 70's. So the idea that they accepted radios is WRONG ! |

From the link - About my home state: Friends are very strict here. Yep. Already knew that - as I've so stated several times ... From the link - The Trinity and Jesus
First off let me say, the word "trinity" is NOT in the bible. However, the concept is clearly there. The Church believes that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are 3 different beings, yet they all are the same being.They really believe the three are all the same being? Hmmm. |

I wondered about that too St Anne, considering on 323 recently there was a big discussion on the subject, I think there would be more people that DON'T believe the above than DO ! |

So the idea that they accepted radios is WRONG ! Yes it was a crime, the same as workers going into elderly women homes that had radio's for years & telling them they have to throw them out ! And sure enough they did ! But there are no rules and the workers don't tell people what to do !!! |

So the idea that they accepted radios is WRONG ! In the 1950s they removed a meeting from a family's home because an roomer in the house was discovered to have a radio in his private room. In the 1980s, when there was a school closing for weather, I got phone calls from everyone (8 meetings in town) assuming I knew if there was a closing because I was a teacher. I had a radio -- that's how teachers learned to stay home on a storm day. To my knowledge not one person ever told on me. I know a couple of people who would go out and sit in their cars and listen to the radio to see if schools were going to be closed. You gotta do what you gotta do.  |

My parents had radios in the late 50s/60s. As far as I remember, they weren't hidden, and as far as I know, no one told them to "throw them out" My uncle and aunt had one before that. We never had a TV though. |

We never had a TV though. My parents always had a radio too. No TV. They were farmers for half of my at home time, but even when they moved to the city, they kept their radio. Mom always planted a big garden in their back yard, so I guess it was justified to know when to cover the tomatoes.  |

Thanks for your response - so you came to the 2x2 approximately when? (I'm only asking as regards your blog statement of 2x2 belief about the Trinity - I'm thinking maybe time and (your) location lend to that belief ... ). |

The coasts always seem to be somewhat ahead of the midwest .... |

So the idea that they accepted radios is WRONG ! ~ I agree. I can also remember it being threatened by Andrew Abernathy, an overseer in the past at conventions in the Northeast that people who come to convention with radio antennas, could expect them to be broken on convention grounds back in the 1970's. It seems that vandalism was permissible, if the overseer felt it was warranted? Crazy logic, don't you think? |

The website minimises the truth. Someone did not try to incorporate the group. They, meaning the head worker did it, no trying about it, he did it - period. It caused a stir so he changed it.
See the irony of this statement. •Many like to donate money through the mail as it allows you to remain unknown and makes the gift more special. Matthew Chapter 6: 3-4
So the author of the website is saying that they send cash through the mail? Either the writer is naïve to suggest such a thing or the people sending the money seem a bit foolish to me sending cash through the mail. The only other explanation is that it is sent by check which has the senders name on it which is not anonymous at all. The website is full of statements which sound like a puppet reciting things he had heard and not thought through. Same old stuff which no longer fools a thinker.

As a worker I received $20.00 in the mail twice from anonymous person(s). I have vague recollection of receiving other money in the mail, though I think most was from home visits and handshakes. |

If you are sending it anonymously how do you ever know if it actually reaches the workers? Maybe you are just making some postal worker a little richer? |
