i was just looking at the sundays wt study " the spirit & the bride keep on saying come" on page 16 para 8 it says
"millions now living MAY never die" [caps mine] but if you look at the first pic
with " the world has ended" it says "milions now living WILL never die" [caps mine]
{you may need a magniifying glass}
is that a boo boo or is some one trying to say something??!!
Probably just an editing blunder - after all, they have said both "will" and then later "may" in the past.
But it makes you wonder - Is there any other modern religion so positively obsessed with the end of the world?
No it's a just a slip up of honesty. They usually try harder than that.
Tee hee hee.

the bride keeps on saying ...come.....come.....come.........................
Another paraphrasing might be billions now living will die don't be caught and be one of them.
Capitalizing on fear is the most proficient utility that the WTS. publishing company has used for more
than a century. Remember those pictures in the WT magazines of buildings collapsing on to people.
Yes fear sells $$$ and controls, whoever said religion is honest and forthright.
*** w55 4/15 p. 236 Part 8—International Attempt to Destroy Society Fails ***
Courageously carrying forward their work against mounting odds, the band of valiant ones on March 15, 1918, released a new, newspaper-size, two-page tract, Kingdom News No. 1, headed “Religious Intolerance—Pastor Russell’s Followers Persecuted Because They Tell the People the Truth—Treatment of Bible Students Smacks of the ‘Dark Ages.’” Millions of this tract were distributed, exposing the clergy-inspired persecution of these zealous preachers in Germany, Canada and the United States. This tract furthermore advertised the historic lecture to be delivered March 24, 1918, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music by the Society’s president, entitled “The World Has Ended—Millions Now Living May Never Die!” Three thousand heard this important lecture
This is what the WT-article is referencing.
I figure it's possible they just couldn't find a newspaper that actually had the original title--"WILL" is plastered over so much stuff in the Proclaimers book it's not funny. I ought to open to that page and show my wife what it was really all about. I think I MAY do that. Better yet, I WILL do it!
the bride keeps on saying ...come.....come.....come.........................
I thought the part where it says "Obviously, the bride is not saying 'come' to herself" was an opening to all kinds of innuendo myself. I mean, obviously not, because evidently, the bride of Christ would never engage in such self-abuse as would the unclean harlot of Babylon, who both abuses herself in immoral ways and allows the kings of the earth to engage in porneia with her as well. That spiritual whore is saying 'come' to anyone and everyone. Yes...I went there...I shouldn't have...
LOL @ SD7
Don’t worry, my mind went “there” too….
