What's new about the information in it? A friend gave me a copy to read, nothing new in it for me. You find anything new? As Terry mentions in his story, Every step has been plotted, just like the dance studio footsteps on a ballroom floor. Results, a peculiar short circuit insidious and subtle means of thought control. No personal interaction in this new / old publication. Of cause, "All honested persons know" that this book is teaching the real truth, right!

No new info, I have read it through
Eze.Thanks for the very thorough follow up that you already done prior to my question. I don't have a scanner, good job with yours.If you can scan the Appendix on "WHO IS MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL? They quote regarding the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thessalonians 4:16 "The Lord himself will decend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice." Thus the voice of Jesus is described as being that of an archangel. This scripture therefore suggests that Jesus himself is the archangel Michael.
What they don't tell you in the book is that the NWT,Reference Bible has a footnote on this scripture decribing the Lord as being Jehovah God not Jesus! It is Jehovah who has the voice like an archangel, voice not the angel himself. God cannot be an angel, neither could the son of God be an angel. Michael is an archangel not Jesus or Jehovah.
Could you scan this one for us? Thanks.

Ohhhhhhhhhh what I REALLY liked was how one of the comments made about the book was how the first 5 pages are designed to start a bible study without the person at the door realizing thats what you're doing.
And there was emphasis from the platform about how too some people may not believe the bible is inspired by God, yet later on of course there are scriptures to back up the beliefs.
They are trying to simplify the messege again.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
Something new in this book I noticed is that credit for the 1914 calculation is given to “sincere Bible students.” The quotes indicate how it is worded in the new book. This giving of credit for the 1914 calculation has never been done before in any of the primary bible study books that would be used with a new bible student. Credit for the 1914 calculation had never been given in the Knowledge book, the You Can Liver Forever book, the Truth book. The credit prior to this new book would be given by default to the FDS. This giving of credit for the 1914 calculation to “sincere Bible students” and the wording has been included in this new book for a reason. Consider that this was almost certainly done for some specific reason. Perhaps to distance the FDS from the 1914 calculation in preparation for a future new light. In any case I believe there is a specific reason for giving credit to the 1914 calculation to someone other than the FDS. I know this information regarding who actually calculated 1914 can be deduced from the Proclaimers book, but this is the first time that new ones learning the “truth” are told upfront that 1914 was not calculated by the FDS but by “sincere Bible students.” Think about that.
Oeps! Changing the 1914 doctrine will give a big shock in Society-land, don't you think?
But: I feel sad for those (my grand-grandparents, my grandparents, my parents) good people who put their fully believe in these doctrines written by men. So changing the doctrine will not only shock Society land but while decline the members. Warning: do not believe man, but believe only the bible teachings. Realy, these doctrines are a wast of time. (Why am I still counting 2005-1914=....)
