Interesting to note the pressure system in the cult the local elders are kept in line and up to task through the fear of the CO so the GB rely heavily on the CO arrangement to control the congos from a distance.

Blondie is spot on.
You bet they went down as magazine placements. JW's have old mags stashed all over the place. Before we started printing our own over here our magazines were always 3-4 months behind. It was embarrassing to be forced to explain "yes, these are the latest Watchtower & Awake mags" (sheesh what do you want for 5c lol)
In Australia we joked that if Armageddon came we might not hear about it for a month or two
unc of stale mag class.

I love trick you played. I took a picture of The Time is at Hand with Luke 21:8 in the background and showed a witness, they almost puked.
If I can ever figure out how to post a picture I'll upload it.
What is this about? Can someone post a link?

I'll try this again. page 101 "the time is at hand"
as many of the world, are now being used as the Lord's soldiers in overthrowing errors and evils. But let no one hastily infer a peaceable conversion of the nations to be here symbolized; for many scriptures, such as `Rev. 11:17,18`; `Dan. 12:1`; `2 Thes. 2:8`; `Psalms 149 and 47`, teach the very opposite.Be not surprised, then, when in subsequent chapters we present proofs that the setting up of the Kingdom of God is already begun, that it is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercise of power in A.D. 1878, and that the "battle of the great day of God Almighty" (`Rev. 16:14`), which will end in A.D. 1915, with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced. The gathering of the armies is plainly visible from the standpoint of God's Word.
If our vision be unobstructed by prejudice, when we get the telescope of God's Word rightly adjusted we may see with clearness the character of many of the events due to take place in the "Day of the Lord"--that we are in the very midst of those events, and that "the Great Day of His Wrath is come."
The sword of truth, already sharpened, is to smite every evil system and custom--civil, social and ecclesiastical. Nay, more, we can see that the smiting is commenced: freedom of thought, and human rights, civil and religious, long lost sight of under kings and emperors, popes, synods, councils, traditions and creeds, are being appreciated and asserted as never before. The internal conflict is already fomenting: it will ere long break forth as a consuming fire

Page 99 is pretty good also:
within the coming twenty-six years all present governments will be overthrown and dissolved; but we are living in a special and peculiar time, the "Day of Jehovah," in which matters culminate quickly; and it is written, "A short work will the Lord make upon the earth." (See Vol. I, chap. xv.) For the past eleven years these things have been preached and published substantially as set forth above; and in that brief time the development of influences and agencies for the undermining and overthrow of the strongest empires of earth has been wonderful. In that time Communism, Socialism and Nihilism sprang into vigorous existence, and already are causing great uneasiness among the rulers and high ones of earth, whose hearts are failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the present powers are being mightily shaken, and ultimately shall pass away with a great tumult.
In view of this strong Bible evidence concerning the Times of the Gentiles, we consider it an established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world, and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God, will be accomplished near the end of A.D. 1915. Then the prayer of the Church, ever since her Lord took his departure--"Thy Kingdom come"--will be answered; and under that wise and just administration, the whole earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord--with knowledge, and righteousness, and peace (`Psa. 72:19`; `Isa. 6:3`; `Hab. 2:14`); and the will of God shall be done "on earth, as it is done in heaven."
Daniel's statement, that God's Kingdom will be set up, not after these kingdoms of earth are dissolved, but in their days, while they still exist and have power, and that it is God's Kingdom which shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms (`Dan. 2:44`), is worthy of our special consideration

Be not surprised, then, when in subsequent chapters we present proofs that the setting up of the Kingdom of God is already begun, that it is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercise of power in A.D. 1878, and that the "battle of the great day of God Almighty" (`Rev. 16:14`), which will end in A.D. 1915, with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced. The gathering of the armies is plainly visible from the standpoint of God's Word.
What year was that printed?
The book I have in my hand says

This one was printed in 1902

In mine it says:
