Watchtower Chronology 1823 to present
by Ultimate Reality inover the course of a few years, and thanks to many on this board, i have assembled a history of the watchtower's most relevant articles that show the development of the 70 years, 607 b.c.e.
and how these ultimately get calculated to reach "the last days" with the appointment of the "faithful slave".. .
the following link contains a pdf with very little commentary and minimal notes.

Finished Mystery - Censorship Question

Faithful Slave chosen in 1874
by Ultimate Reality inas further proof that the 'slave's' appointment taking place in 1918/1919 is a bunch of non-sense and internally inconsistent with the society's own claims, they (that is, what became the slave) did not even know they were appointed in 1919. in the early 1920's, they thought russell was the slave and that he had been appointed by christ (as added proof of his heavenly presence) in the 1870s.. from the harp of god, chapter 9, (1921 edition):.
"...we mark a wonderful fulfillment of this statement of the lord as further corroborative proof of the lord's second presence from 1874 forward.
he had said, in answer to the question relative to his second presence: "who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Searching for Yearbook Quote 1939
by Ultimate Reality ini am searching for a scanned page from the 1939 yearbook.
i think it is on or around page 32. the paragraph mentions how they are not seeking to gather men into an organization, and it discredits the concept of salvation by means of a religious organization.
if any one has this, your posting would be greatly appreciated.. .

The Parousia by James S. Russell and a different view of Revelation
by Ultimate Reality inmany who hear about the "preterist" point of view become confused since thoughts often run to the idea that all bible prophecy has been fulfilled--for many this cannot be reconciled.
for the average witness, we have never even been exposed to a different view on bible interpretation.
indeed, the watchtower view of revelation and bible prophecy is that most everything in the bible applies now, to our special time since 1914, with the end of the system of things and the great tribulation right around the corner.. however, where does the concept originate that matthew the 24th chapter has a secondary fulfillment beyond 70ce?
