    Nothing like promoting 1975 with the good old "Truth Book":

    The Truth Book, primary study aid for Jehovah’s Witnesses to use with Bible Students published prior to the year 1975 reads as follows on page 9 under ‘Grand Blessings from God Near at Hand!’:

    “Also, as reported back in 1960, a former United States Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, declared that our time is "a period of unequaled instability, unequaled violence." And he warned: "I know enough of what is going on to assure you that, in fifteen years from today, this world is going to be too dangerous to live in."

    [Note: 15 years from 1960=1975]

    All WTS publications are poorly written garbage, designed to entrap people into a cult.

    I wonder how Eduardo (The author of that site) is doing. I hope he is well.

    I was six when it came out. It was my parent's primary recruiting tool in a tropical paradise, I still have my copy.

    Looking at it again, I can understand why I grew up warped.

    I have that book in new condition and I remember now that is where I got the fear and interest in the Truth but only studied the blue Truth Book in 1968. I got supicious of the Borg after the 1975 prediction failed.
