Questions about the '89 WT change
by JimmyPage in
1. watchtower
2. bible
this is in reference to the '89 wt with the change from the individual issue to the bound volume that originally said the preaching work would be completed by the end of the 20th century.

my question is: are there bound volumes of the '89 wt that were printed prior to 2000 that do not contain the change?

or does anyone know where i could get an original issue of the individual '89 mag?

Seven Trumpets of Revelation
by Zico in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i read on here that the society teaches that the seven trumpets of revelation are representative of seven conventions held in america in the 1920. is this actually true?

is it old light?

i asked some witnesses but they all gave me a look like i was weird and said it couldn't be right, and i can't check the watchtower library as i can't get it on my computer (apparently the society doesn't think mac users are worthy of the 'good news') i mean... it would be a bit...odd, wouldn't it?

F.Franz in court - english meaning
by mineralogist in
1. jw
2. friends
(q): can you, yourself, translate that into hebrew?.

(q): that fourth verse of the second chapter of genesis?.

(a): no, i won't attempt to do that.. what franz "wouldn't attempt" to translate into hebrew is what many have said as a simple exercise an average first or second-year hebrew student in seminary would be able to do.

September KM - 70 alterations in Revelation Climax Book
by dozy in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i can't find a thread on this subject yet - if there is one , please delete this one.. the september kingdom ministry has a 4 page insert detailing the 70 alterations in the revelation climax book which is due to be studied at the book study shortly.

i'll provide scans if anyone is interested.. i will leave it up to more experienced analysts to examine the reasons for specific changes , but just a few brief observations for now:.

p32 box - "they were completely exonerated" changed to "charges against them were dropped" - interesting change of terminology for the 1918 watchtower eight.
