The Watchtower Dec 2005 Literature appeal

seatrout

Does anyone have a spare copy/photocopy of the December 2005 Watchtower edition? I need to see this for my own research.

Also, if any one has any literature which points out the Society's belief that at this moment in time we are right on the verge of the Great Tribulation, then I also need to see this belief in print.

Can anyone help? If anyone can I will provide postage details where they can be sent.

I've got the text, not scans. What ya need?

The Dec 2005 Watchtower edition has been quoted as saying that non-Witnesses are pests that must be exterminated, or words to that effect. i.e I need the chapter/topic where this this quote has originated from, to make sure that it hasn't been mis-read or mis-quoted. If it has been accurately quoted, then this is hardly a view that should be taken by a Society that claims it is here to save people.

Are you prepared to send it to the UK?

Many wonder, however, why a God who is the very embodiment of love would inflict death and destruction on much of humankind. The situation might be compared to that of a pest-infested house. Would you not agree that a conscientious homeowner should safeguard the health and well-being of his family by exterminating the pests?

Similarly, it is because of Jehovah’s deep affection for humans that the battle of Armageddon has to be fought. God’s purpose is to make the earth a paradise and to elevate mankind to perfection and peace, with “no one making them tremble.” ( Micah 4:3, 4 ; Revelation 21:4 ) What, then, is to be done with those who threaten the peace and security of their fellow humans? God must eliminate such “pests”—the incorrigibly wicked—for the sake of the righteous ones.— 2 Thessalonians 1:8, 9 ; Revelation 21:8 .
