  Looking thru the feb 2010 watchtower i noticed that the Society has done a little white wash of the past by NOT mentioning the book 'Millions now living will never die' only mentioning the earlier talk using the word 'may'.

  Perhaps because Rutherford stated " i want the statement millions now living will never die to be taken literally, as it is, in the light of fullfilled prophecy, a provable biblical proposition" They dont want the R&F to know of the book nor its grandiose pronouncment.

  The anointed followers of Christ have

  been extending the invitation since as far

  back as 1918. In that year, the public talk

  entitled “Millions Now Living May Never

  Die” offered hope thatmany will gain life in

  a paradise earth after the battle of Armageddon.

  A talk given at the convention of Bible

  Students at Cedar Point, Ohio, U.S.A., in

  1922 urged listeners to ‘advertise the King

  and his kingdom.’ This appeal helped the

  remnant of the bride class to reach more

  people with the invitation. In 1929, the

  March 15 issue of

  The Watchtower

  The bOrg has that "Ministry of Truth" stuff down pat, don't it?

  very typical!

  Pretty funny, actually. It truly is amazing how crystal clear the foolishness becomes once you remove yourself from the cult.

  I would strongly encourage any who are still associating to begin your fade immediately, or if possible DA yourself right away.

  The salient point with the Millions talk/brochure was this concept. Notice how the WTS uses the passive voice as if some unnamed jw came up with it.

  *** w93 11/1 p. 11 par. 18 Daniel’s Prophetic Days and Our Faith ***Further, the widely circulated booklet MillionsNowLivingWillNeverDie presented the view that in 1925, God’s purposes regarding the restoring of the earth to Paradise and the resurrecting of the faithful ones of old would begin to be fulfilled.

  Notice how the WTS leaves out the 1925 teaching in this quote:

  *** w90 12/15 p. 13 par. 11 "Let Anyone Hearing Say: ‘Come!’" ***Even back in 1918, the bride class began preaching a message that particularly involved those who might live on the earth. It was the public talk entitled "Millions Now Living May Never Die." This offered a hope that many would survive Armageddon and thereafter gain eternal life on the Paradise earth under God’s Messianic Kingdom.

  Too bad those millions can't verify what Rutherford actually said, because they're all dead now.

  According to Freddie Franz, Judge RutherFraud was overheard to say "I made an ass of myself", concerning his 1925 Millions campaign. The WT paid for many newspaper ads to Advertise the "millions now living will never die" convention talks, too. All part of the public record.

  Interesting quote from that 1990 Washtowel, it says :

  "Even in 1918 the Bride Class began preaching a message that particularly involved those who might live on earth ......"

  It does not actually say that they were preaching the earthly hope,they were not of course, but a Dubbie reading this will read that in to it.

  It then quotes the public Talk title as "may never die" which it was ,in some venues, in other venues it was billed as "Will never die " their is a picture on here ,JWN, of a car bedecked with adverts for the talk with this title (Will never die) and the date and place it was to be given.

  Was this talk as early as 1918 ?????
