"Fellowship in the family of God"
Addresses these questions:  Some people are asking, "What should my attitude to be towards any man or woman who has proven untrue or unfaithful to the way and testimony of Jesus, and who is now out of fellowship and seeking to hinder others?" What attitude should I assume towards such? How should I act?

Account of the Discovery of the Incorporation of the 2x2 Church in Alberta, Canada:

In August of 1996, a remarkable Document was discovered to have been registered with the Government of Alberta in 1995. The Document was a Certificate of Incorporation (No. 50654949) which was granted to the “Alberta Society of Christian Assemblies” on May 5, 1995. Willis Propp, the 2x2 Overseer of the Province of Alberta Canada, took full responsibility for the registration. This is a written Account of how this Document came to be discovered, along with the friends and workers reactions, comments, explanations, apology and dissolution.

(3) original letters in the handwriting of Princess Victoria (1917-1920). Some consider Princess Victoria to have “professed,” even though she never did so formally in a meeting, never attended a single meetings or convention.  John Pattison wrote in his "Princess Victoria’s Contact with the Workers 1917-1920":  “The essence of these letters...show that, as we have been told, Princess Victoria had a clear revelation of Truth; that she was very close to and influential to her mother, as were also the professing girls who were in service to the household.” Click Here to View Letter No. 1; then click "next" to see the other 2 letters.

The name of the Mother of Wm Irvine's illegitimate son has been discovered!
It has been fairly common knowledge that William Irvine fathered an illegitimate son named Archibald Irvine. There has been much speculation through the years surrounding the identity of the mother. Until 2010, mother’s name was not known to the public, although descendants of the Irvine family were aware the son existed. Not long ago a surprising email arrived at TTT, providing the son's birth record as well as additional family details. Click Here to read a mini version.

Notes of George Walker - Picton Conv
- "The world can say that they got saved by reading the Bible, or got something direct from heaven, but just ask them to show you someone in the New Testament that got saved like that. This is the worst form of spiritual pride that has ever been known. "

Notes of Workers Meetings
By Jack Carroll, George Walker, Howard Mooney, Ken Paginton, Wm Weir, Alex Mitchell, etc.

An Address On Sunday Evening 16th December, 1950 - During Preparations For Convention by Bill Carroll;
Notable quote contained in this sermon: "Then, we preach not ourselves." We do not wish to exalt ourselves or our own name. That was the lamentable and dreadful sin of Edward Cooney. We had to come to the definite belief after many years of patience that he preached himself. His message was to exalt his own name, which has been put upon God's people and which God's people reject and resent.
