Kismet, is this what you wanted? If not, and there is no response I will just assume you got what you needed from another source or this is not what you wanted.
Sorry, for your pain, Reborn. It is a terrible thing to be betrayed by those you trusted and thought cared about you.
Blondie:
The information you provided was exactly what I need along with the scan of the insert, we are good to go.
Thanks for your help and I am sorry I didn't acknowledge it sooner.

Jehovah Beautifies His People With Light (Isaiah 60:1)
Paragraph 6
The woman of Isaiah 60:1-3 is Zion, Jehovahs celestial organization of spirit creatures.
Today, Zion is represented on earth by the remaining ones of "the Israel of God," the international congregation of spirit-anointed Christiansa total of 144,000 membersmodern fulfillment of Isaiah chapter 60 centers on those alive on earth during "the last days." (So the remnant are the same as the heavenly spirit creatures. How do those not on the GB represent Zion? What part do they play? This strengthens the idea that the GB (remnant) has authority direct from heaven.)
Paragraph 7
During the first world war, anointed Christians (only a few since not all were required to go door to door until 1922 when keeping service records started for everyone) had struggled hard to keep the witness work going. But in 1918, the final year of the war, the organized preaching work virtually stoppedprominent Christians (can true Christians be prominent?) were given long prison sentences on trumped-up charges (and what were those?).
Paragraph 8
The year 1919Jehovah shed light on Zion (really, and how do we know that?)
Paragraph 9(Only anointed are sons and daughters, children of God.)
Paragraph 10Desirable things (great crowd)do not go off to serve Jehovah each one in his own wayworship in association with their anointed brothers.
Paragraph 11The result of this foretold ingathering is an outstanding increasein the number of praisers of Jehovahforetold at Isaiah 60:6.
Jehovahs Organization ExpandsParagraph 15Why did Jehovah bless Zion with such increase? Because since 1919, the Israel of God has obediently and consistently shed forth Jehovahs lightIn harmony with Pauls words (Romans 12:1), genuine Christians are not satisfied with merely attending religious services once a week.
Paragraph 16They have helped to build up Christian congregationsthus strengthen the citylike "walls" (thus organization equals Jerusalem) of Jehovahs organizationJehovahs expanding organization.
Paragraph 17Now is the time for Jehovah to express mercythe evidencethe extraordinary increase.
Paragraph 18Each year, hundreds of thousands of additional "foreigners" association with Jehovahs organization (what about the hundreds of thousands that leave?)
Some opposers try to close those "gates" but we know that they cannot succeed. (the persecution complex)Edited by - Blondie on 6 August 2002 8:3:12
Next article reviewed will be "Jehovah's Glory Shines on His People"--Isaiah 60:20
Who represents Zion? (see previous article...emphasis)
Hear about the "wise" use of modern technology.
See how the WTS gradually gained control of the congregations.
How many times can the WTS work the date 1919 into an article?
