Hi friends, I received an email from a friend who is near to publishing a new book on the Witnesses and 1975. He says, "I wonder if you could help me? This is a big thing. I have written the book 'The Children of Armageddon.' I have already got a publisher for it but I would like the front cover of the Watchtower with a train going off a cliff into a ravine with 1975 in the ravine or over it." Does anyone remember this picture and what magazine it is in? Thanks, Randy Watters [email protected]

I did some searching and found this... you might try finding the cover of this Awake and see if this is it. Awake! October 8, 1968, p. 26-27 "We sincerely hope that you are the one who will open-mindedly consider the facts, and that your faith in God's justice and love and in the truth of his Word continues unaffected by the doubts and scoffing's of a world that blindly rushes on in a disastrous course. (2 Cor. 4:4; Matt. 15:14) This system of things is picking up speed in its downward plunge. Will you stay with it and take the consequences, or will you listen to the counsel of God's Word and abandon it? The time remaining for a decision is short. The opportunity is still before you, like the open door of the ark built by Noah before the flood, and like the open gates of Jerusalem when Rome's armies temporarily withdrew. But that door of opportunity will soon close for all time. Prompt action is vital if you would be among the happy survivors of this present system destruction. What can you do and what will it require of you?...LIKE a train about to plunge into an abyss, this system of things is about to plunge into destruction. Time is fast running out for it! If you had the right opportunity to jump from a train that was heading for certain destruction, would you not do so? True, it might cost you a severe bruising; you might leave behind some of your possessions and the people on the train, but you would save your life. What will cost you to have the hope of living through the end of this wicked system of things? What will you have to pay to gain life in God's new order?...Similarly, eternal life in God's new order will be a gift...That is the key to eternal life, the doing of God's will. All the conditions that must be met are included in that framework. So then, if you want to survive the end of this wicked world and be given the gift of eternal life in God's new system, you need to do God's will."

Also, I bet AlanF knows exactly which pic you are referring to if elsewhere's image isn't the one. He did all that work you can find here on 1975 that I bet he saw it so many times he spewed all over his keyboard several times...*LOL* Reading that crap is like trying to swallow bad sushi...you either get it all down or it comes right back up..*LOL* Maybe even Tom Talley.

He would need copyright permission to use that picture and I doubt they would grant it.
But it might be possible to create something similar and still respect the copyright laws
