    Random interesting tidbits of light- (just paging through Thus Saith Jehovah's Witnesses compiled by Randall Watters)

    "It is your privilege between now and before the day school opens to spend six hours a day in taking the book Children to others." The parents should encourage their children to do this very thing, if they would have them live". WT 9/15/41

    The Kingdom is here, the King is enthroned. Armageddon is just ahead. The glorious reign of Christ that shall bring blessings to the world will immediately follow. Therefore the great climax has been reached. Tribulation has fallen upon those who stand by the Lord. The Messenger 9/1/41

    Also, it is to the spirit-annointed Christians who will rule in that kingdom that most of the Christian Greek Scriptures is directed, including the promise of everlasting life. WT 6/15/74

    They say that it is sufficient to read the bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home. But, strangely, through such 'Bible reading' they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by Christendom clergy were teaching 100 years ago, and some even returned to celebrating Christendom's festivals again, such as the Roman Saturnalia of December 25! WT 8/15/81

    Hence, outside the Bible's timetable, most dates set by historians are unreliable. Only a few "assured", or absolute, such as 539 BCE can be accepted as certain.......................According to reliable Bible Chronology Adam was created in the year 4026 BCE, likely in the autumn of the year, at the end of the sixth day of creation. WT 5/1/68 (sorry this entire page is too ridiculous you would have to see the whole page)

    "Just think brothers, there are only about ninety months left before 6,000 years of man's existence on earth is completed. Do you remember what we learned at the assemblies last summer? The majority of people living today will probably be alive when Armageddon breaks out, and there are no resurrection hopes for those who are destroyed then. So, now more than ever, it is vital not to ignore that spirit of wanting to do more. Our Kingdom Ministry 3/68

    The problem with dubs upon quotes like these is that cognitive dissonance will occur they wont see the forest of lies because of looking at one tree and vice versa. If its not in the current party line their minds just turn off.
