YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS BUT MY GRANDFATHER WAS A TEACHER WITH THE INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS. HE STUDIED THE BIBLE UNDER PASTOR CHARLES RUSSELL. MY GRANDFATHER LIVED IN WESTERN PA., AND TRAVELED TO PASTOR RUSSELL'S OFFICE IN PITTSBURG A LOT. HE ALSO TRAVELED BY TRAIN ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY AND TAUGHT CLASSES FOR THE I.B.S. THEY DIDN'T HAVE CHURCHES OR CONGREGATIONS, AS THE PROTESTANTS CALL THEMSELVES, BUT THEY HAD GROUPS OF BELIEVERS THAT GATHERED IN HOMES AND STUDIED THE BIBLE. MY GRANDFATHER'S NAME WAS SAMUEL H. JONES. HE MET HIS WIFE AT ONE OF THE CLASSES. HER NAME WAS HATTIE M. FREED. HER FATHER WAS ALSO AN I.B.S. MEMBER. HIS NAME WAS PETER FREED. HE WAS A POSTMASTER IN A TOWN NEAR CONNELLSVILLE, PA. HE SENT OUT TONS OF I.B.S. LITERATURE, AND WAS INVESTIGATED BY THE F.B.I. MY GRANDPARENTS EVENTUALLY RESIDED IN SALEM, N.J. THEY FUNDED THE FRANK AND ERNEST SHOW THAT WAS AIRED ON A RADIO STATION NEAR SALEM. MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO ALWAYS GIVE US THE DAWN LITERATURE WHENEVER WE VISTED HER. SHE KIND OF DROVE US NUTS WITH THAT STUFF, BUT I GUESS SHE PLANTED A GOOD SEED. ONE THING THAT ALWAYS IRKS ME IS HOW THE JAHOVAS WITNESSES ALWAYS PROCLAIM TO BE "THE ONLY" ORGANIZAITON TO COME FROM THE ORIGINAL I.B.S. THEY ARE RATHER DECEITEFUL IN THEIR PRESENTATION OF THEIR SECT BY USING SUCH TACTICS, BUT THAT IS THEIR PROBLEM. ANYWAY, I JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN MY INFORMATION.
