    I hate when the Society does this.

    Apparently the Watchtower Society printed different issues of the same journal.

    Case in point. The March 1st 1918 Watch Tower was color cover with "How to study the Bible" and a verse-by-verse commentary on Revelation.

    The March 1st, 1918 issue is a typical B&W journal with just regular articles. Anyone have the color editionb in pdf?

    Or is this THE FINISHED MYSTERY?

    Here's what it looks like:

  • Black Sheep
  • oompa
    oompa

    i hate to admit it but that is really kinda cool/pretty......and why do you hate it when they do this?.........oompa

    Apparently, that's what the WT Society did. What's interesting is if one reads the issue that's in the Reprints for March 1, 1918, it's clear the other March 1st issue was issued late. The article entitled "Religious Intolerance" refers to events that happened on March 4th and March 14th.

    One possible scnenario (just a wild guess):

    The original publication plan was to issue the March 1st as the special issue as a special edition of the Finished Mystery. Then, as the legal problems about the book started about this same time it was decided not to do a full release of this special edition and so a regular edition (which the Reprints contain) was issued to make up for the ZG issue that was being held up.

    That's just a guess.
