Again this IS news...to hear Reg speak of Bro. Russell and the church, it was wonderful growing up there and is a good church now.

Bro. Russell was a very dedicated person. His life was beyond reproach and his prayer life was probably one of the greatest of any in our lifetime. But he never saw the need to enforce anything he preached. He preached against television harder than I ever heard anyone preach against it(that was in my time) however we had SS teachers and officials with televisions. When I was there nearly 90% of the saints did NOT have televisions but I think the percentage has reversed in years. I will not go into the rest but the church now is certainly not the church I was raised in. Again Reg's family were not in the church when I was there they went to the UPC on North & Wells which always was very weak on standards.
