dropoffyourkey, a 1947 coffee table book would not have had the resources to cut and paste as we do today. As for the language, it suits the time period, shortly after the war when emotions are high.
Found this gem in a coffee table book from 1947

"The Watchtower explains the Theocratic Government".

And most of those explanation of the 1940's have been sent to the scrap heap, relegated to the category of out-dated "old light".
"Pathetic" indeed.

I found the book on Amazon, not much information about it though:
It was published by Harper & Brothers, which became HarperCollins.
ADCMS, tell me about it. I think that for most modern JWs even reading a 40s era WT magazine would create a mind-storm of cognitive dissonance beyond what they could handle.

I think it's interesting how the JWs are grouped with the pro-Nazis in this book. Now I understand why they were called "pathetic."

How odd. Last week I saw that guy wandering the boardwalk at Ocean City, MD, muttering to himself.
