That was a fantastic article, jwfacts. It should be required reading for anyone who wants to study with the Witnesses. Keep up the great work!

Leolaia,
the Society loves citing the editorial in the New York World as proof of the success of the 1914 prediction (a reference to this piece occurs throughout the Society's present-day literature on 1914), omitting the fact that the editorial misrepresented the actual pre-1914 claims.
I just had a JW bring this up to me recently. Is there a copy of this article online? I've done a search, but maybe haven't done it correctly. How does it misrepresent the claims?
He also mentioned how Jason BeDuhn (he didn't give me the name, but I found it easily enough) considers the Kingdom Interlinear the "best interlinear" Greek NT. My immediate unvoiced thought was, "Well, that's one in a row."
