The awaited "members only" WT alongside THE WATCH TOWER AND HERALD OF CHRIST'S PRESENCE.
I eagerly await the English version which should be out any day. The only things missing are the
light and the cross. Notice also that the Bible is an exact representation of the NWT. You can see the
cross-references up the middle.
it's actually a bit closer to the 50's version of the mags, but they all where built on the same design for decades. No need to worry about a cover story!
I think I see a little "light rays" coming from the top left, but from God no doubt....oompa OTWO my wife is stil in so I guess I will get to see it. I have either graduated, or been kicked out of the TM School as I did not quit, but no longer have "the privledge" of receiving a KM either....oompa
Thanks for the comparison.
Does anyone know when they switched from
"Herald of Christ's Presence" to
"Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom"?
Or why?

The magazine was subtitled "Herald of Christ's Presence" when they believed that Christ was already ruiling from heaven invisibly from 1874 onward. It was changed when this date for Christ's "invisible" presence was changed to 1914 and after Rutherford introduced the name "Jehovah's Witnesses."
Definitely did away with all those crosses - notice the Herald has cross-shaped windows and the new WT one has NO windows? That's indicative of something, but not sure what. :)
I wonder about the 'idol' of the watchtower symbol. It really freaked me out to find it's on a demonic fortune-tellin' tarot card - and it looks much too similar to wtbt's. Some of the symbolism is just too wild, isn't it? Just when I think I'm pretty much past it all, something else freaks me out!

Does the shape of the structure indicate that at one time the WTS was more 'rounded', and that today they are 'squarely' on track?
Nah!

The WT gets no "LIGHT" from outside the WT. It's all made inside.

This is an indicator that they were once more well-rounded
Fully or broadly developed, having a broad educational background.
Of course that would have been a brief moment in time early in CTR's establishment of the WTBS.
Now they are square.

Does anyone have a post of a picture of the older mags with the actual Watchtower and just the titles of the articles?
Here's one, but in another language:
Now that's a huge magazine!
