If I remember right, publication of the Watchtower was suspended during the war because of the pacifist position of the "Russellites" as they were commonly called back the. Something about them being considered as possibly a subversive or treasonous organization.

What is the reasoning that the seventh day of rest is 7000 years?
by jwfacts ini used to feel that the prophecy of the seven times ending in 1914 and that the 6,000 years were up in the 20th century was good proof that these are the last days.
but i just started wondering why the wts says the day of rest would be 7000 years and can not find proof for this assertion.
does anyone know why the wts says god would rest for a period of 7000 years?.

Unethical quote from Nature, the magazine?
by Fatfreek ini just emailed the following to the editorial department of nature, the magazine.
a religious magazine, watchtower, 1998 6/15 p. 28, in their article true justice -- when and how?, quoted your journal nature in order to shore up their lack of support of the use of dna in courts of law.
moreover, the magazine nature notes that not all scientists agree on the interpretation of forensic evidence.

Kinda makes me sad that I dumpsterized all my JW publications back around '86. I had stuff going back to right after World War One that I'd inherited from my father, grandmother and great-grandfather...all of whom were Jehovah's Witnesses. My father had an original copy of the 7-volume Studies In The Scriptures. Got lost in a house fire back in '64 though. Sigh! If only we COULD take back some of more minor past actions!

7,000 Year Creative Day
by kirani007 ini would like to find out if anyone has any background information regarding how the idea of the 7,000 year long creative day was developed as a "doctrine" of the jehovah's witnesses.
i come from a jw background, having been raised as one until i broke away from the at the age 17. i do remember that some of the material that we used in bible studies or at the sunday afternoon watchtower meetings covered how that 7,000 year figure was arrived at.
one of the publications that i'm thinking covered it in some detail was either the let god be true book or the babylon the great has fallen book.

I come from a JW background, having been raised as one until I broke away from the at the age 17.

One of the publications that I'm THINKING covered it in some detail was either the Let God Be True book or the Babylon The Great Has Fallen book. I am thinking that it was arrived at based on the computed length of time since the creation of Adam, coupled with prophecies from Isaiah, Ezekiel and Daniel, but I can't remember for certain. I'm also thinking that it may have either been a product of or influenced by Charles Taze Russell's previous religious background before his formation of the early version of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Someone also once suggested that it had been or is a doctrine derived from the Seventh Day Adventists. Any input would be appreciated.
