  Fatfreak,

  I'm not sure what computer technology WT had in those days.
  

  I doubt that they used any computer tech in the 50s and early 60s. They probably used old fashioned linotypes and a lot of typesetting work.

  Jackson's rose colored watch only cost $399, don't use it as an argument.

  Yes, there is a large difference between $399 and $17,000 (42.6 X) so it's not good to use it as an argument.

  There are many editions of Russell's six volume series. These different editions have modifications to the print and measurements of the chronology and the pyramids in particular. This was done in order to avoid having the many minor fulfillments (1880-1914) leading up to 1914 contradict world events as they were occurring.

  I don't know how many editions there were but anyone with two or more editions can pick out a lot of contradictions and revisions to the minute details of his ever changing chronology and pyramidology.

  How many editions of that series do you have?

  Convention audio clips mentioning 1975

  by Splash in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  this is very topical so i thought i'd share a compilation document of 10 audio clips.. these are mostly from before 1975, taken from convention recordings at the time, stressing the importance of 1975 and getting the crowd excited in anticipation.. entire talks are embedded but it's been typed out what was said and the time point it occurs.. this document is 220mb, so be warned.. i hope you're not triggered by the drawn out assembly speech style because this is full of it.. if anyone ever tries to tell you that there was no mention of 1975, hopefully this will give you some evidence.. if anyone with the ability could turn this into a short, shareable video, that would be much more useable and shareable than this (no disrespect to the creator).. click here for the recordings.

  it will be gone in one month..

  Splash, are any of these talks given by Frederick Franz? I have a strong memory on the 1975 doctrine and I remember well Franz connecting the thought of bestiality with the 1975 chronology. It would be grand if one of your audios included that.

  PS: This talk was given at the forum in Inglewood, California.

  2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure

  no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.

  instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

  I clearly remember what happened in 1975.
  

  A small group of us including a middle aged member of the 'anointed'. Tom Banakas (He no longer lives so he won't mind being named). Tom, the anointed, picked up a lost pair of eye glasses on the sidewalk, put them on his face and said "I'm making a spectacle of myself." He was the congregation comedian.
  

  It was 1974 and we were going to a special talk which was being given in a sports stadium in Inglewood, California. It had 18,000+ seating capacity - each one of them filled. Frederick Franz, then vice president of the governing body, was to give the talk.

  Franz started by giving his audience an overview of cosmic history from the creation to the millennium. The crown jewel of the talk was the chronology leading to 1975. He explained the whole thing. His conclusion was that the Great Tribulation would begin months or years but not decades after September of 1975. This range in time was due to the uncertainty of the length of the "Adam and Eve gap".

  He explained that the longer time periods would mean that Adam was living without Eve for the same duration of years. He then said that Adam was going to be tempted by bestiality for lack of a mate for decades. "Will Jehovah allow Adam to be tempted into bestiality? NOOOOH brothers and sisters Jehovah won't allow that." he said in his sing-song voice.

  I clearly remember what happened in 1975.

  I was seated in that stadium, overflowing all the way to the floor. All seats filled. I was seated with an old style cassette recorder on my lap. I was wearing tacky polyester pants. I like to tape talks. I wish I knew where I had saved them (They would fetch a small fortune today.).

  I clearly remember what happened in 1975.

  1974: I was seated in the Kingdom Hall, in my favorite seat on the right side of the hall; mid-week night meeting. The Kingdom Service - or did they call it Kingdom Ministry then? - was being read by brother Ingle of the Valley Plaza congregation (Note: These persons and their close relations are deceased so don't worry.) reading that the end was so close that couples were selling their houses in order to dedicate themselves in the fulltime ministry. That was stated to have been a good thing to do in the "remaining few years".

  I was reading from the same leaflet as him. Yes, I clearly remember what happened in 1975 in full detail.

  I remember a few years later I was told by an elder who studied with me that I had lost zeal because of 1975. That wasn't true. He was simply imagining it. I was never a 1975 man I was a 1914 guy.

  washington — president trump asked the f.b.i.

  director, james b. comey, to shut down the federal investigation into mr. trump’s former national security adviser, michael t. flynn, in an oval office meeting in february, according to a memo mr. comey wrote shortly after the meeting.. “i hope you can let this go,” the president told mr. comey, according to the memo.. the existence of mr. trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the justice department and f.b.i.

  investigation into links between mr. trump’s associates and russia.. mr. comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after mr. flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo.

  He would take some Lessons from the previous president on that one!
  

  Assuming that Obama said such a thing how would that justify Trump?

  From Yahoo news:
  

  The Comey memo was also about Trump’s request to arrest reporters. Journalists call it ‘crazy and scary.’

  It seems that President Trump wants to jail reporters.

  Anony Mous,
  

  For all others, the copyright length is life + 25-50 years.
  

  When did the copyright start? Are we 25+ years into it?
