Some of you may have known Samuel Friend as I did. Of course I knew him as a child while he was a sweet older man.
 

Tomorrow's WT Study is in this magazine as well:
 

I met Br. Covington when he came out to Seattle in 1958  to argue a brother’s draft case before the federal court.  My husband had been fighting his draft case since the early fifties, and he expected a trial soon. Since my husband and the brother being represented by Br Covington had the same local attorney, I was introduced to Br Covington. He was very kind and encouraging to me, and I will always remember that encounter. He later wrote my husband, giving him advice on how to proceed with his expected trial. As it turned out, the brother lost his case and was sentenced to McNeil penitentiary, while the Justice Department later decided they wouldn’t win my husband’s case.  The local draft board didn’t give up, and he fought the draft until 1967 during the Vietnam war.  
 I’ve often wondered how our younger brothers here would have  handled the intense pressure by the authorities and incarceration if the draft had continued to this date. 

He, along with several other old timers, was on the Arosa Star in 1955, from Quebec City to England.  He wasn’t married at the time but Edith was on board along with her sister. That trip across the Atlantic was a wonderful five day educational convention complete with talks, practical travel tips, and even music with dancing. It had a indelible impression on a 20 yr old wife and her 22 yr old husband. 

@JOHN BUTLER  Yes. This post is off in another orbit.
I would encourage everyone to learn to make their PERSONAL COMMENTS on the profile page of the person they are referring to....
and NOT on some random topic.
So.. for example I will go make one on your page ....

@JOHN BUTLER  Well... that would be in "good standing" within the JW community which as you are well aware.... means they would be a "friend of the GB" as you put it above.
@admin who owns this site doesn't care what religion one is...he is agnostic at best. He wanted this club to be off in it's own corner...
I asked him to make my own "JW's only" club to accomodate like minded people in their own area. 
This Public Club will stay here where I am more relaxed on people questioning etc....
I do get ticked off though when people's comments are completed unrelated and off topic (oh.. and spammers)

Usually there are opportunities to visit other residents in the nursing home with a cheerful smile, upbuilding comment or scripture if you are “time conscious” while visiting the JW. 

We even had "goodie afternoon" after our afternoon book study at the KH. Funny thing that happened one time: The Spanish CO was visiting the Spanish congregation and happened to stop by after the book study - just in time for "goodie time". He thought it was a wonderful (and at the KH).

Thank you so much for doing this for us year after year, plus the meeting information.  It is greatly appreciated.  Have just printed out two - one for my 85 yr old fleshly  sister, and another one for a 78 year old sister.    Neither of these dear sisters are adept at using their tablets to take notes, and they love the lines!!

Here is a notebook for the 2018 “BE COURAGEOUS”! Regional Convention that I did.  TB

I am starting to get requests for these items posted previously. Enjoy!
 

Better not go 26 mph in a 25 mph zone or will be bringing reproach on Jehovah and his organization.

Don’t see the Children book picture, which incidentally really wasn’t for children

It is beautiful but we had about 3” starting late yesterday afternoon, resulting in the cancellation of our weekend meeting. Too many hills and inexperienced drivers. Where I live, we know how to drive in rain but not snow. 

Yes, I was there.  My husband and I were married July 9th, and this was our honeymoon.  Took us 8 days from the State of Washington to drive back to New York. 

Yes I was there with my husband.  This was the first stop for us of the Around the World Conventions, ending in
Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA, in September 1963.

Can you find more photos or videos related to this particular convention year?
or even better... were you there? 

Not as easy to move around as the carts?

Beautiful sister Alessandra Alves of Brazil enjoying the ministry despite her condition..???
Hello from Brazil..Say Hello? ?

Me too. Really like that book. Easy to read and appreciate the early history of the organization.
