True, the actual magazines and books make more of an impact. And, a JW may doubt when looking at a PDF instead of the original publication. But, the seed is planted and these sort of seeds are remembered when doubt allows them to start growing to fruition.

For reference. Your note about the Time Magazine write up that came out the day you were baptized is especially poignant.
Thank you.

Some here may remember this public talk from a circuit assembly in 1970:
"Who Will Conquer the World in the 1970s?"

It was part of the hype campaign for 1975 that fanned the flames of excitement.

Thanks so much for this. Can I suggest that the article which said "young people should face the fact they will never grow up in this system" would be a good addition?

To round this out with some mp3 audio from that era.
Public Lecture by District Overseer Charles Sunutko in Spring 1967 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The title of this lecture was "Serving With Everlasting Life in View." Many have subtitled this lecture: "Stay Alive Until 1975!"

Sorry for my tech ignorance, but I can't get the files to download from File Send. Every time I click the yellow "Download" button, the same page reappears, and nothing has been downloaded to my pc. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you, cabasilas.
I downloaded it altogether.
Especially "1974 Kingdom Ministry" is valuable.
I think that "you must never sell your home and property" was sensible advice.
A cult drives people mad. -
