that's the incredible statement made by the watchtower in 2007.
(*** g 11/07 p. 8 4. scientific accuracy ***) it's nothing new though, they've been churning out variations on this theme for decades .
1951 *** w51 6/1 p. 325 par.
Who do you think these guys are writing to? Are they addressing the scientific intelligentsia of this world or the religiously superstitious?
When a supposedly educated literate country like the USA has people who think the world was created in six days just a few thousand years ago, what difficulty will the WTS have convincing those of less advanced countries? Or does the WTS want its US citizens to have the same level of education as those of a Third World country?

i do not know if this has been made known before, but a new book on nelson barbour is available at:.
http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/nelson-barbour-the-millenniums-forgotten-prophet/5424152.
the number of people at that time who were setting dates for christ's imminent return certainly put today's date-setters into context.

i scanned the few pages i have from newton's 1977 book, "crime of claudius ptolemey", as well as a few explanatory pages.. it's available at:.

In 1976, shortly before Newton released his book, I happened to be given a letter written by Philip Couture, in which he declares his interest with Newton and that he was an active JW. I have provided a scan of that letter, suitably masked for reasons of privacy, at:
http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=32c23992880e1dcccbcf3b3107eb0af7
When I publicised the existence of that letter in Bruce Price's magazine, I was able to provide this to a certain person as justification of my claim.
--------------------------------
When Couture produced his (anonymous) "Treatise" (previously made available at: http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=e5d30975280902ab29bf32ac0b8002bb )
it was, I strongly believe, in direct response to the book previously made available at: http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=a03735977851defc00ea95c475528477
This was addressed in part by COJ (previously made available at: http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=3864ad92ef3b07baa95f043e58f35c2d )

no doubt all have this letter already.

I am not aware that the WTS made any public response.
Mantey was aged about 90 at the time, so the WTS could simply sit and wait.

Cantleave,
If you go to:

go to pages #4, 6 - 14 (heading: "John 1:1") and let me know if the information provided there is any help.
