  1. Malcom Rutherford's picture is from the 1911 Convention Report on page 23. This report had dozens of pictures of those who traveled with CT Russell on the train that year. The selected picture is in the bottom right.
  2. Proclaimers book page 89 (subheading…”Closing Days of J.F. Rutherford) …footnote on bottom of page Footnote * Brother Rutherford was survived by his wife, Mary, and their son, Malcolm. Because Sister Rutherford had poor health and found the winters in New York (where the Watch Tower Society’s headquarters were located) difficult to endure, she and Malcolm had been residing in southern California, where the climate was better for her health. Sister Rutherford died December 17, 1962, at the age of 93. Notice of her death, appearing in the Monrovia, California, Daily News-Post, stated: “Until poor health confined her to her home, she took an active part in the ministerial work of Jehovah’s Witnesses.”
  3. Br. Guy Pierce (died 2014) of the GB was married and had children. Br. Rutherford's son was Malcom (see photograph). He was Br. Russell's personal secretary or stenographer.
  4. I was in the field ministry today with a Pioneer sister who is 92. I won't be 80 until next year...😎
  5. We have had a few serious disasters so an update is timely. I would like a report on our Cuban brothers.
  6. As I read this section, I realized that I almost never have any of the problems mentioned. The only thing that annoys me is the length of time it takes to open a section of the "Library" when I am searching for a boo or tract. I realize that my Windows PC has 50 GB of data stored from the JWL and it has to arrange them and sort them and so on. But I wish it was quicker. I gather that all f the other problems seem to relate to how individuals (and congregations) use the app. They describe using three screens with a mixture of Zoom and other apps, and so on. I don't. So maybe the problems multiply when the level of complexity grows.
  7. Br. Losch's "Temple" talk still isn't one of the study articles (through October)...sigh....
  8. My regular WTL update came today. No special downloads.
  9. In addition, I have noticed that sometimes the update takes place but the "update icon" does not go away. So I update, close the app, reboot the device, open the app and check the update. Usually it is clear.
  10. Br. Paul, these are not files that I made or own. Br. Eryk made them. I just saved the files for use on several of my devices. The link I sent to Br. Darren will work for anybody to download. At the top of this page, Br. Eryk (the author of the files) has offered to discuss these files with anyone who wants to PM him. The link to my DropBox with the file folder is (English only): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/46wtequm75lh1uin18x01/AMMJchV1jpc0gjEFTUSpdg0?rlkey=0v1wwsc2pr7o7nfe9t9ikpsmt&st=jib0jh4t&dl=0
  11. Try this DropBox link (it is supposed to be the whole folder). https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/46wtequm75lh1uin18x01/AMMJchV1jpc0gjEFTUSpdg0?rlkey=0v1wwsc2pr7o7nfe9t9ikpsmt&st=jib0jh4t&dl=0
  12. I have the six files you see plus the KJV bible with Strong's numbers. I can give them to you but they won't load in JW Library (I tried on my new iPhone). The organization has place a key in the new jwpub files and it won't load unless you have that embedded. I can put the folder in my DropBox account and you can try but it doesn't work. If you are asking where they were invented, Br. Eryk, a member here made them.
  13. Currently our organization is closing the opportunity to add jwpub files. But it has not always been the case. In addition to the various Bibles discussed so far, other books have been available in the past. See my screenshot below. JW Library placed them at the bottom of my "Guidelines" folder.
  14. Two of our midweek songs this week are lively and bright. Song 76 and Song 84 (I attached the children's videos because they are happy. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/ChildrensSongs/pub-pksjj_76_VIDEO https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/ChildrensSongs/pub-pksjj_84_VIDEO
