next month's wt even refers to it, paragraph 3 i think.
theyre still at it.
edit,
you gotta love that the date of the 'trumpet blast' public talks was right around the beth sarim debacle too
before AND after
As an old post suggested: That second trumpet blast was pretty much off key.
"Millions now living will never die etc. etc."
I would categorize it as the greatest Brown note in the history of earth.
The 7 trumpets being the 7 conventions were originally interpreted by Rutherford as the 7 books released, which all could purchase for the right price. But when I had in my teens read that in the revelation book, at 14 years old, I knew something was fishy there.
I too recall thinking how improbable it was that one of prophecies in Revelation was fulfilled by a single talk/resolution at a single convention in the 1920s. That same question came back into my mind back in 2003 at the DC when they read off that very awkward 10 point resolution:
I still remember sitting at the desk of the Cleaning Department while the thousands in the arena answered back with a verbal "aye", thinking 2 things:
1. The (non-JW) convention center employees who are hearing this must think we're a bat shit crazy cult, and
2. 10 years from now are they going to try to claim that this resolution fulfilled some Bible prophecy?
