What's New on TTT

NOTICE: In November 2019, I upgraded my computer to Windows 10. Unfortunately, many of the software programs I had been using refused to communicate with Win10. From that time until November 2022 (3 years), I did not edit, add or delete anything from my Telling The Truth website. It was "frozen" as is. During that time, I made notes and saved material of data for TTT and my file was over 2" thick. Six months after my book was published on May 31, 2022, I had time to install a new software program and went to work adding, editing, etc. TTT. The following list contains the newly added material and links.  CK

ARTICLES:

Was William Irvine a True Prophet?

Vanity & Vexation of Spirit: The act or desire of 2×2 females to improve their outward appearance to be more in line with their culture is sometimes denounced as vanity and vexation (abbreviated V&V). This phrase comes from Ecclesiastes and is intended to provide a scriptural reason why they should not wear cosmetics, slacks, jewelry, cut their hair or wear it down, etc. Used in this context, the V&V phrase contains the not so subtle inuendo that doing so is succumbing to vanity, pride and/or conceit, which are not becoming to a woman professing godliness. Unfortunately, this ambiguous explanation has been passed down in many generations of 2×2 families, mother to daughter, worker to worker, etc. Many brother workers have instructed the female friends in and out of meetings, conventions, special meetings, etc., to model their appearance after the sister workers. Plainness and appearing au naturale are viewed as godly virtues. —read more—

The doctrine of "grace" that Jesus did everything, and we only have to believe, has made the way so broad no one is excluded.

Edward Cooney requested the sister workers laboring abroad to write letters to be used as evidence in two lawsuits he filed in 1913 for libel re workers involved in white-slave trafficking.
