Since waking up from this cult I find it highly ironic that there's a Jehovah's Witness magazine called Awake!
Just as brilliant as calling a lie "the truth" ...

Seriously.
https://www.wuv.de/marketing/unternehmer_sichert_sich_marken_der_jehovas
Businessman felt harassed by JWs, so he found that word marks "Der Wachtturm" and "Erwachet!" (German versions of "The Watchtower" and "Awake!") were not registered, registered them on his behalf, and is now offering JWs to buy them if they want to keep their magazine's current names.
Quite possible that he'll lose in court, but still ...
Patent on "Watchtower" and "Awake" :
Entrepreneur Secures Jehovah's Brands
For the magazines "Wachtturm" and "Erwacht", the trademark rights are held by a Bavarian entrepreneur - Jehovah's Witnesses are outraged.
An entrepreneur from Bavaria has secured the "Watchtower" and "Awake" trademarks from the German Patent and Trade Mark Office. The names of the two Jehovah's Witness magazines. According to Tuesday's photo, Thomas Resch from Hauzenberg cites intrusive Jehovah members at his front door, an incident in the summer of 2017, as the reason.
As the Springer newspaper reported on Tuesday under the headline "Awakening at the Patent Office: Entrepreneur tricks Jehovah's Witnesses", the 47-year-old entrepreneur is now offering the brands he has secured for sale. The tabloid depicts Resch with the two documents of the Patent and Trade Mark Office of June 2017.
Naturally, Jehovah's Witnesses are excited; the picture says a spokesperson that the patent office should not have granted the request. And: "We call on Mr. Resch to surrender the illegally and maliciously obtained trademarks immediately."
According to the newspaper, the entrepreneur feels he has the right to wait for a "good offer" from the religious community to show himself ready to talk.

2. beliefs
there are many scans of the golden age available in the internet, but no single issue from 1925 to 1929. is there a reason for that?

does simply no one have these issues?.

it seems that these issues contains lots of ridiculous articles.. stephan.

People's Pulpit?

i believe there was a magazine or newspaper published during russell's time called the people's pulpit.

i'm specifically trying to locate vol.

can anyone point me in the right direction?

There is a lot of contradicting information regading these publications, see my discussion here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/266074/bible-students-monthly-when-published?page=1
It seems that "Volume I" was published in 1909, hence the issue in question must be from early 1910. Likely they used slightly different versions in different cities, that's why the issue in question is not in my archive.
Even the WTS doesn't know it ;) .. since the KM mentioned someone distributing The Bible Students Monthly (the successor of the successor of The People's Pulpit) in 1906.

If a year is really 365 1/4 days why 360 days to calculate 1914
by blondie in

2. friends
doesn't that throw off the date?.

*** w51 6/15 p. 383 questions from readers ***.

in establishing the length of the seven times of the gentiles, a time or year of 360 days is used, to give 2,520 days, which become 2,520 years when ezekiel 4:6 is applied.

Of course a prophetic year is 365 years, see here ;9
