  by bcpenney in

  1. watchtower

  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

  1. jw
  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.

  Funny grammar error in German Watchtower

  by processor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  they seem to have laid off their proofreaders.

  in the new 03/2016 study watchtower there is a picture description:a mature young person does not act like a friend of god at the kingdom hall but a friend of the world at school.

  the german issue saysein reifer junger mensch verhalt sich im konigreichssaal nicht wie ein freund jehovas und in der schule wie ein freund der welt.

  Of course, the sentence

  Ein reifer junger Mensch verhält sich im Königreichssaal nicht wie ein Freund Jehovas und in der Schule wie ein Freund der Welt

  is correct. But it is not really good language and can be easily misunderstood. It would much clearer like this:

  Ein reifer junger Mensch verhält sich nicht im Königreichssaal wie ein Freund Jehovas und in der Schule wie ein Freund der Welt

  Recent announcement on literature placements

  by dbq407 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i find it interesting that the other night they announced that literature is not to be left indiscriminately.

  they said to only leave literature if the householder engages you in conversation.

  it used to be that they would try to get any literature into every hand of every person.

  Are you serious?

  Sure.

  Beginning in January 2016, all placements—whether print-ed or electronic—will be reported in one combined category entitled "Placements." (Electronic place-ments would include files of or links to videos, books, magazines, articles, tracts, and so forth.)

  The German issue says
  

  Ein reifer junger Mensch verhält sich im Königreichssaal nicht wie ein Freund Jehovas und in der Schule wie ein Freund der Welt

  which means, if you interpret it correctly according to Grammar: "A mature young person does not act like a friend of God at the Kingdom Hall. He acts like a friend of the world at school."

  send PDFs of WT literature to householders' smartphones and tablets, and each download will count as a "placement"

  Is that not what they're doing from January on?

  i saw this on ex jw reddit:"this may not be news to you but it was to me.

  forgive me if this has already been posted before.

  it came from a reliable source working on the warwick project.. wallkill bethel had broken ground and laid the foundation for a new recreation building.

  Achilles heel of Watchtower publications

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wts has published over it's existence during the years a flood of books and magazines.

  many of the content of this publications includes topics about the medical, social, history field and also counsel about life style.. the achilles heel of all these publications is, that they are written mainly by amateurs, without verification and validation.

  most of it is worthless.

  these publications ... are written ... without verification and validation

  This is not true. They are verified and validated. Not against reality though, but against previous Watchtower publications.
