1969 Kingdom Ministry PDF

by cabasilas in

for those interested in collecting the pdfs of the kingdom ministry for research purposes.. as is well known, the watchtower library cd-rom starts its coverage of kms in 1970. however, the kms from 1966 to 1969 show a bit more of the excitement relating to the prediction that 6,000 years of man's existence would run out in the year 1975.. the 1969 kingdom ministry (51 mb) can be downloaded here:.

Why I Like the "Proclaimers" Book

while it is true that the "proclaimers" book is not always as open and honest about the society's history as it claims to be, it is open and honest enough to bring into question the society claim to being god's organization.

it's a matter of (1) knowing what to look for, (2) where to find it and then, (3) to be able get the sense of what it means.. take for example the extremely important matter of the second coming of christ.... on the top of page 47 the book truthfully explains how president charles russell came to believe that jesus returned invisibly in 1874 to begin his second coming ("invisible presence").

and then a careful reading of the footnote on page 133 shows that the date of jesus' return was not changed to 1914 until 1943.. it is likely that even if some witnesses notice that fact, they do not get the sense of what it means.

I stand corrected... thanks Leolaia

I found a statement similar to what TD found concerning 1914 in the book "Delievrance" (1926) page 306 as follows;

For many centuries Satan the enemy, as head, aided
and abetted by his wicked angels, has constituted the
heavens that have influcnccd and controlled the nations
and peoples of earth. With the coming of Christ
Jesus into power in 1914 Satan and his demon hosts
have been cast out of heaven and onto the earth. (Ps.
110 : 6; Rev. 12 : 9) The new heaven is therefore now
an established fact. Christ is in control thereof.
