WT 'Lulled to Sleep, Bound hand and foot by Satan?'
by NeonMadman inan interesting quotation from the wt of december 1, 1922, p. 374:.
succeeding in this, satan would have such cast away much that the lord has provided for his people and has brought forth upon his table through his wise and faithful steward.
he would cause them to cast away "tabernacle shadows," the greater part of the studies in the scriptures, to disregard all the evidence of the second presence of the lord, and to deny, of course, that brother russell filled the office of the wise and faithful steward; to disregard the evidence, scriptural and otherwise, of the harvest time and the harvest work; to put aside all proof of the parallel dispensations and chronology, and hence to refrain from announcing the end of the world and the beginning of the reign of christ.

Future of the Preaching Work?
by NeonMadman ini wrote the following comments in a response to joelbear's thread on the 4 steps to the new system.
but they were sort of off topic there, and i thought they might be of interest as a separate thread.
at one time, door to door work was highly effective.

What Reasons Were Given to Prove that Armageddon Was Near?
by NeonMadman ini'm thinking back to all the "signs" that were cited - officially and unofficially - as reasons we knew that armageddon would be coming any day now.
there was a fellow in my book study 30 years ago who used to bring time magazine to every meeting.
to him, whatever was in the news that week was evidence that the system couldn't hold out much longer.

by NeonMadman inthe day doesn't go by when i don't get at least one - and usually two or three - e-mails of the "nigerian scam" variety.
you know, "i represent mr. mumbabwe hurumbie who was assassinated by the evil dictator hurumbie mumbabwe.
mr. hurumbie left behind an estate of $65 million us which i will split with you 50/50 if i can just have your bank account to use to smuggle the money out of the country etc etc.".
