I just got a hold of the WTs from 1958-59 so I would like to know if any one has some interesting things I could use in them to show some of my JW "friends" and relatives that the WT contradicts itself or things that are total lies that can be easily proven? I also have WT and AW2005

During our watch we have seen all the evidences that Jesus foretold to mark the time of the end of this world since 1914. We know that ours is the generation that began to see many of these predicted things come to pass. Ours is therefore the generation that must see all of them take place in fulfillment of Jesus’ word. Hence it is the generation that will see the end of this old world, just as it was the case in the days of Noah. -

Watchtower-1958-August-1-p.478 Questions From Readers ? One of Jehovah’s witnesseswho claims to be of the anointed remnant recently went to the hospital and took a blood transfusion,voluntarily. Should she be allowed to partake of the emblems of bread and wine at Memorial time?—R. J., United States. We, of course, regret with you that this sister who professes to be one of the anointed remnant took a blood transfusion voluntarily during her stay in the hospital. We believe that she did the wrong thing contrary to the will of God. However, congregations have never been instructed to disfellowship those who voluntarily take blood transfusions or approve them.We let the judgment of such violators of God’s law concerning the sacredness of blood remain with Jehovah, the Supreme Judge. The only thing that can be done in the cases of individuals like this is to view them as immature and therefore not capable of taking on certain responsibilities, hence refusing to make certain assignments of service to such ones. Since an individual is not disfellowshiped because of having voluntarily taken a blood transfusion or having approved of a dear one’s accepting a blood transfusion, you have no right to bar this sister from the celebration of the Lord’s Evening Meal. As an anointed member of Christ’s body she is under orders and command by Christ Jesus to partake. Whether she is unfaithful as to what she professes to be by virtue of taking the emblems of the Lord’s Evening Mealis something for Jehovah God to determine himself. His judgment begins at the house of God. It is not for you or anyone serving the Memorial emblems to act as the judge, but to allow the emblems to go to anyone in the audience as these are passed along in the normal manner of letting each one have the opportunity to partake. See Questions From Readers here: http://m1.freeshare.us/view/?128fs3278920.jpg Yet, in 1945 some 13 years previous to this incident blood transfusions were "banned" by the Watchtower! So, at least one member of the anointed did not agree with Watchtower doctrines. This is only one case that was listed in Watchtower literature. There could have been "many" more such incidents that were never listed! Watchtower-1945-July-1-p.201 "Seeing, then, that the Most High and Holy God gave plain instructions as to the disposition of blood, in harmony with his everlasting covenant made with Noah and all his descendants; and seeing that the only use of blood that he authorized in order to furnish life to humankind was the use of it as a propitiation or atonement for sin; and seeing that it was to be done upon his holy altar or at his mercy seat, and not by taking such blood directly into the human body; therefore it behooves all worshipers of Jehovah who seek eternal life in his new world of righteousness to respect the sanctity of blood and to conformthemselves to God's righteous rulings concerning this vital matter." http://m1.freeshare.us/view/?128fs3281943.jpg Nevada-

I looked at it and it's not that question, it's something else, so maybe you have the wrong date. -

Anti-Christ: I looked at it and it's not that question, it's something else, so maybe you have the wrong date. My comments: Perhaps you might want to look again! Look at page 477, the page just before the one I posted for you. What date do you see there? 1958?

I found that question both in the original Bound volume and the 2005 WT CD. The year is 1958 not 1959.

Investigator74:
Thank you for verifying!
I have the same information here. Anti-Christ may have looked at a (15th) instead of a (1st). Or, perhaps looked at the 1959 Watchtower istead of the 1958.

Thank you for your research but I looked again and it's the right date but I don't have a page 477 it's stops at 240. Maybe it's because it's a french WT. I always thought that the articles were the same, I guess not.
