I recall as a young man scanning the sky for Sputnik in 1957. A faint light arced across the summer sky. No reasonable person would conclude that the "power of heaven" had been shaken.

Not the entire book, SexyTeen, but a couple of chapters are online, or used to be. I know the chapter on blood in "in Search of Christian Freedom" was online in it's entirety about 1 year ago or so.
Just do a search for the book titles, or the subjects "blood" and "ray franz".

Will Power, maybe we are twins separated at birth.
What is the address of Zev's site? My 15 year old is seriously getting involved in the whole witness thing. He's meeting with the elders soon to become an unbaptized publisher.

The watchtower of Feb 15, 1994 page 19 hints at this celestial phenomena angle . They definitely toyed with the idea.
Observant ones will notice this Wt was released about 8 months before the endline date for the 80 year maximum of a generation. Oct 1914- Oct 1994.
Just floating the notion sussing out the response before deciding their strategy.
It wouldnt surprise me at all if this subject gets raised again in the WT.Extensive readers of WT history will know that the Org has learnt to start floating "new light" possible interpretations early in the year of the limit of their prophetic fulfillment.
EG- Russell early in 1914 started hedging his bets on fullfilment that year.
Early in 1975 Fred Franz gave a speech revealing new understanding indicating Armaggedon might not arrive exactly at the time expected.
They are preempting their own predictive error.
This is usually prompted by the failure of "prefullfillments" to materialize.
A prefullfillment example is ,say, the United Nations destroying World religion prior to Armaggedon. When 75 arrived and the UN was still a toothless tiger and Churches were still functioning, the Org started to sweat that time was running out on their predictions.
Thus they started to hedge BEFORE the final date in October actually arrived.
"New light" revealed truths regarding prophecy, tend to be published in the WT in November. Immediately after the October 22 expiry date of the Biblical year.(Refiners- Intellectual flea "class")

Hi Tweetie
Here's the site
http://www.geocities.com/plowbitch69/
right after sept 11 when the US was talking about maybe using NGO's, not knowing what an NGO was I searched the web, Found the list, thinking I might donate money, looked thru them all, that's when I found the Watchtower's name. I was shocked, shortly after it was all over this DB.
15 yr olds are pretty smart these days.
I used to be so worried. He didn't want to hear anything I had to say. But carefully worded, heart to hearts, hugs & compliments kept me on the inside. Actually it was just tonight that he suggested designing a video game called Armagedon & sell them at kingdom halls.
Phewww.
Good Luck. I know exactly what you're going thru.
p.s. did you own go-go boots?
