Where is it written?
by Ultimate Axiom insome time ago i came across this quote claiming to be from a watchtower publication;.
1953 –“bible chronology also fixes the time for christ's second presence and the assuming of his right to rule as at 1914; this date was published in the watchtower as early as 1879, 35 years before 1914.” (tscp 3).
this is of course misleading, for while the date was indeed published in watchtowers from the very beginning, christ’s second presence and his becoming king were not assigned to that year until many years after (1933 and 1922 respectively, to be precise)..

Is old Watchtower literature being preserved by any particular entity?
by Etude ini read a recent post from mickbobcat about how expensive some of the old watchtower literature for sale is.
is there a group or entity that is working to digitize or somehow preserve the old literature, giving others the ability to research them?.

David Attenborough's new book
by LoveUniHateExams ini haven't read his new book, but i've read bits of it that were serialised in a newspaper.. attenborough is a fascinating man and has a lot of interesting things to say.. his new book is about the environment and how to save it, basically.. he wants us to drastically cut down our meat intake and eat more fruit and veg.
this got me thinking.
how would that work?

A Postoffice Thief Is Still Robbing Our Mail!
by Ultimate Axiom inwhile doing some research in some old watchtowers, i came across this in the watchtower of jan 1st 1900 with the above title.
i thought some might find it amusing.. we specially request that no money be sent by mail.
altho this is mentioned in every issue quite a number fail to heed it.

Watchtower DOGMA, the rejection of the Christian foundation
by Separation of Powers inthe word dogma is defined as "a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.".
i began comparative religious studies several years ago, in fact, i am currently attending school with the desire to acquire my degree in this discipline.
while studying the buddhist belief system, i realized how similar the jw's were in their evolution to every other religion.
