i am writing an important letter to my family and i would like to get a full page scan with the famous 'chart' of jehovah down to the local rank & file.. i am hoping that the chart and the infamous, "it is a theocratic organization, ruled from the divine top down, and not from the rank and file up.

What Josephus Really Wrote about the 70 Years
by Ultimate Reality inthere have been some partial quotations of josephus on this board recently in relation to how he explained the '70 years'.. .
in the interests of scholastic honesty and so that his words are not taken out of context, here are some relevant passages with their context.
you might ask yourself, do the 70 years (as spoken by the prophet jeremiah) begin with the destruction of the temple or before the destruction of the temple?

48,165 New Publishers in ONE MONTH!!!
by Ultimate Reality inthe december 2009 okm (courtesy of iloowy) provides a new field service highlight: in august 2009 the u.s. reported publishers of 1,154,275; a new peak and an increase of 48,165 from the july 2009 report of 1,106,110.. .
fyi: 2008 peak publishers for the u.s. were 1,105,798. therefore, an increase of only 312 publishers from 2008 to july 2009. where did these 48,165 come from in one month?.
how are they manipulating these numbers?.

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.

Non-Existent First Century GB / Council Quotes from Old Publications?
by Ultimate Reality ini am looking for any references regarding the existence or (even better) the non-existence of a first century council / governing body in old watchtower publications.
it would most likely center on acts 14 and 15.. many of us have heard the fred franz recording about how there was no such body in the first century.
anybody have any pre-1970's quotes on this subject?.
