  I found a 1975 yearbook at a used book store, but I didn't buy it, as it's kind of pricey.

  However, if there is anything good in it that I can use for my research on the Watchtower, I would buy it in a minute.

  Does anyone know if there is anything different or new that was said in it to make it worth my while to buy for my research? (Such as a new quote or false prediction)? Maybe the fact that it is a 1975 "end of the world" edition (added by me), it might be of value to me?

  Can anyone help me on this?

  Thanks, friends......Hubert

  My recollection is the 1975 yearbook contains some juicy admissions about the failure of the 1925 promises. If I came across one in decent condition for say, 10 bucks, I'd buy it.

  It also contains some outright misrepresentations of their history, which they were hounded for, and which were only corrected, sort of, in the 1993 Proclaimers book.

  I still have my personal copy from when I was active in the JWs. True it is very subjective as far as their history is concerned, however, it does have some interesting recollections from long time JWs which unwitingly reveals the dark side of the Watch Tower movement.

  The 1975 Yearbook has a history of the movement . . . sort of. That's maybe a $25 book. They pop up on ebay all the time.

  Thanks for all the advice.

  I have the 2004 cd-rom, and I will look to see if it's in there, also.
