Does anyone know where I can find reprints of the "Resolutions" that comprise the "scorpion stings" and the "trumpet blasts" of Revelation as explained in the Revelation Climax book?

I have lately become very curious about the contents of these Resolutions and Proclaimations, since the WTS currently praises the Bible Students for publishing and distributing these "scathing denunciations".

I bet they are just FILLED with false prophecies, too. My idea is to show the resolutions in question and ask: Even if the "trumpet blasts" really are divine judgment messages, would outstandingly bold false predictions reasonably be any part of these divine judgment messages?

If anyone can tip me off to a source for these I will be very grateful.

Thanks,
AuldSoul

There is usually a little bit of confusion regarding the Watchtowers interpretation of the trumpet blasts. They do not teach that the resolutions are the trumpet blasts per se. They instead say that the resolutions are the outcome of the angel in heaven blowing the trumpet. Not a big differance, but I figured I would say it.

Here is a list of what convention's resolution is said as being a result of the trumpet blasts.

-----

1. Cedar Point Ohio, 9/10/1922
2. Los Angeles, CA 8/18-26/1923
3. Columbus Ohio 7/20-27/1924
4. Indianapolis, Indiana 8/29/1925
5. London, England 5/25-31/1926
6. Toronto, Canada 7/24/1927
7. Detroit, Michigan 7/30 - 8-6/1928

Going back into the literature may provide some more detailed info on this stuff, but my guess is that most of it is only known by going into the resources that only exist at WT headquarters.

I'll look back in my collection of old WT literature to see if I can find anything and post in a little bit.

I think you can read the resolutions here: http://www.watchtowerinformationservice.org/index.php/watchtower_quotes/present-truths/trumpet_blasts/

But I don't know where you can find reprints. Best wishes.

Good Job Atlantis!!!

By using such rhetoric the Watchtower essentially brings it's history into the realm of myth. Facts or objectivity are not important. What is important is to see the history of the movement in an abnormal, miraculous, and exciting. The major thrust of the myth is that the divine (god, jehovah, jesus) has transended it's normal state of exsistance and has historically enetered into the life of the group.
