  These are all bookmarked and searchable. The 1967 and 1968 KMs reflect more of the excitement for the end of 6,000 years of man's existence in the year 1975. (See the March 1968 KM, p. 4, for example.)

  Best wishes for the New Year!

  2. beliefs

  i drives me crazy when jw's go on tours of historic churches, the vatican, or mosques .

  they go in the church take pics, and oooo and ahhhhh over the buildings.. why the f_ _ _k are they expressing awe and wonder at what they believe to be satan's world headquarters .. don't they know jehovah is soon about to destroy all these architectural wonders.. jw relative has just come back from visiting the vatican.. stupid cult aaahhh !!.

  I remember Albert Schroeder giving a slide talk back in the early 70s about a trip to Israel with pictures of all the churches he visited (Church of the Nativity and Church of the Holy Sepulchre, for example). When I was in Brooklyn we'd walk down to Battery Park at the tip of Manhattan and often stop inside Holy Trinity Church and tour its cemetery. I think the average JW is wary of such things but it's permitted if you're visiting for historical purposes and don't get involved in worship activities.

  That sounds like the Kingdom News tract # 16. It was released, as I recall, at the 73 Convention.

  I've finished the 67 KMs and will post them soon along with the 68 KMs. Here's a gem taken from the March 1968 KM (page 4) about the 90 months left before the Fall of 75. It was to encourage us to vacation (now auxiliary) pioneer in the short time before Armageddon:

  You're welcome, Atlantis and Moggy Lover!

  Here's a black and white scan of the suggested door to door presentation with the Life Everlasting book from the October 1966 Kingdom Ministry where the JW is told to point out the chronological chart from this book showing that "this system of things does not have many more years left." The JW is told not to predict a year for Armageddon but let the person read the chapter with the chronological chart to "see what the evidence indicates" themself.

  For new Forum members: the 1966 book Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God (with the text and chart mentioning 1975) can be downloaded from this filesharing site:

  http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=5b52ef9c78aee247fdef1d05600cc0e1

  This was the era when I first started associating with the JWs and I well remember the excitement and distributing this book door to door.

  Typo above. In editing the post, I mistakenly said the file was just the December KM. Sorry about that.

  The file is all Kingdom Ministries for 1966, January to December.

  For those researchers wanting access to Kingdom Ministries that are not on the Watchtower Library CD:

  Here are the Kingdom Ministries for 1966 (US edition). 1966 was the year that the book Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God was first released. There are a couple of mentions of the book in these KMs. In the October issue (page 2), this presentation is suggested to offer the new book from door to door:

  20 min : Discuss and demonstrate suggested
  sermon for November.
  Theme: Life Everlasting in a Better
  System of Things
  Ps. 37:10, 11-Wicked to be destroyed,
  righteous preserved into peaceful
  new system of things
  Ps. 37:27-Must turn away from bad,
  learn and do what is good
  Ps. 37:34-Those hoping in Jehovah
  wlll see end of wickedness shortly

  Suggested introduction and transitions:
  
  We are living in a system of
  things where there is much wickedness.
  Honest-hearted (peace-loving)
  persons wonder if God is forever going
  to tolerate wickedness and evildoers.
  What do you think? [Allow for response.]
  Notice what the Bible says at
  Ps 37:10, 11 [Read and emphasize
  promise that wicked will soon be no
  more and righteous will be blessed
  with life everlasting in peace on this
  earth.] Would you like to live forever
  in a world with no wars sickness
  sorrow or death? [Allow for response.]
  Well, the Bible tells us how we can be
  part of such a peaceful world. At
  Psalm 37:27 we are promised [Read
  and make point that we not only must
  turn from bad but also must do good;
  must study Bible to learn what God
  requires.] In this same book of the
  Bible, in verse 34, we are told: [Read
  and stress again need to study Bible
  in order to know and keep Jehovah's
  way; then we will actually see end of
  wickedness.] We have the unique privilege
  of living at the time when these
  promises will be fulfilled. This book
  "Life Everlasting-in Freedom of the
  Sons of God" contains an interesting
  chart on pages 31-35 showing that
  this present system of things does not
  have many more years left. [Be careful
  not to make any predictions about
  when certain events are going to
  occur.] I would like to encourage you
  to check into this Bible chronology
  and other fine points in this
  publication. The book along a
  booklet is left for just 50 cents.
  
  After discussing and demonstrating
  sermon chairman can comment on
  following points: At outset it would
  be good in some cases to invite house
  holder to get his Bible. Encourage
  householder to express self. Endeavor
  to start a study on the first call if
  circumstances make that possible;
  may use new book or a booklet. In
  giving sermon we should not make
  any predictions about Armageddon's
  coming in a certain year; let them
  read the chapter and see what the
  evidence indicates.

  While 1975 was not supposed to be preached at the door, the idea was for the householder to get the message as they read the book!

  No wonder the December issue (page 4) said:

  "Never have we felt the nearness of Armageddon and the urgency of our work as we do now."

  The file for the December 1966 Kingdom Ministry is 49 MB, bookmarked and searchable. It can be downloaded from:

  The KMs for 1967 and 1968 are being prepared.
