    A nice guy named Robert de Vrije has put a link to his site - http://websitemaker.kennisnet.nl/JehoshuaFellowship/index.htm - over at theWatchtower.org. I can't read Dutch so the site is useless to me except for the fact that I am drawn to this wondrful mock-up!

    I don't know why Clint Eastwood is there or what the significance of the gunslinging girlie is but I love it!

    Is that the mom from the Partridge Family? Shirley Jones?

    I don't read dutch either, but here is the literal translation:

    hoe lang houden zij het schieten op "nieuw wachttorenlicht" nog vol?

    how long do they keep shooting on "new watchtower light" still full?

    Abaddon or Country Woman should be able to translate for us -

    Why don't you edit the title of the thread to say "attention Dutch speakers" or something

    At least three of the men are Clint Eastwood - maybe all four. I don't recognize the woman, but considering the vintage of the photo, she's practically nekkid. I'll bet this issue get's squirrelled away in underdeveloped teenaged boys bedrooms.

    As for the Dutch, if I recall my rap correctly, the first word translates roughly as "Ho".

    Whats up with this cover? Why the dates of all the false prophecies on it ending with 2034? Does this mean the wt is fixing for 2034? interesting.
