Hey all,
I need help finding articles please!
Discussions have arisen where a bro has firmly stated that "the society has never stated 1975" , and that "we" never said the system would be over in a specific time.
I know there was also the article re education in 1968 ish?
thankyou!
Yep, good point.
When asked where I read it, I said "I found it in the older concordance and bound volumes....
I forgot about Paul's (jwfacts) comprehensive list in my rush!!
thankyou!
There was also another article that showed that changes were made in the content of an article in reprints and online compared to the original wt or aw?
jwfacts had on example, but I know there was another longer article....?
Be careful stuckinarut, are you being brave or foolhardy? What do you wish to accomplish?
Many who leave the BOrg leave for other reasons and then their doubts about doctrine resurface. JWs leave because they have experienced somekind of injustice, or there is no love in the cong, they have a lost a loved one, or perhaps lost a loved one who refused to take blood. They may have a family member who is Df'd they don't want to shun.
All these things give JWs a reason to look at doctrine more carefully. If you want to be Df'd for being an apostate tell as many people as you can about false teachings.

Scan of p. 5 - "But then it [the Bible] also speaks of a group of people preaching about the righteous kingdom of God, a war of God against all wickedness, followed by a paradise earth without death - all to be realized in the twentieth century."
Scan of p. 7 - "What kingdom? The kingdom of God that is to crush all present kingdoms of men. (Dan. 2:44) That now-operating kingdom in heaven will, within the twentieth century, cleanse the entire earth of wickedness."
Scan of p. 8 - "Revelation 16:16 calls it the 'war of the great day of God the Almighty,' Armageddon. This war will come in the twentieth century. It will come right on schedule ... ."

ANNOMALY - Thank you for posting the '61 Awake quotes! For as much research as I've done on this subject, I don't think I've ever come across those before. Amazing.
I believe that bound volume is up in the attic. . .
BOC, I only came across them fairly recently. Can't remember how but likely from another poster who quoted them. They were so eye-poppingly good, I marked and saved them for occasions just like this
