Excellent list. Thanks L.
I'm not sure what the implications of this are though, at least to use when reasoning with JWs.. Any thoughts as to how this could be used?

33The Apostle John thought the end was near...
by pirata ini used to always justify that the apostles (and paul) thought the end was near because the "mini-end" (jerusalem's destruction in 70ce) had not yet happened.. then it dawned on me that 1st/2nd/3rd john were written in 98ce (at least according to the back of my nwt), after jerusalem's destruction.. 1 john 2:18 (new international version)warnings against denying the son 18 dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come.
this is how we know it is the last hour.. not only was it the last day, it was the last hour..

Thanks Leolaia.
The Library of Congress has an option to scan microfilm to tiff CD-ROM. But at $1.00 per exposure it would probably be prohibitively expensive.

So It seems to me that when The Apostle John wrote the following:
Revelation 22:20 (New American Standard Bible)
20 He who ( A ) testifies to these things says, "Yes, ( B ) I am coming quickly " Amen ( C ) Come, Lord Jesus.
He was actually expecting Jesus to come soon (vs. some Christians who have suggested that Jesus meant "When I come, it will be in a speed manner").

Then it dawned on me that 1st/2nd/3rd John were written in 98CE (at least according to the back of my NWT), AFTER Jerusalem's destruction.
1 John 2:18 (New International Version)
Warnings Against Denying the Son
18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
Not only was it the last day, it was the last hour.

I went to an agnostic funeral before at a funeral home. The officiator stated that whatever we believe happened to ____ we all miss him and focused the funeral on the person himself. There was very little there that could possible offend someone of any religion. Family and friends got up to speak about their memories with the deceased.

6 When imperfect people try to cooperate, they can easily have difficulties. For example, what if a mild-tempered brother who often arrives late serves Jehovah along with a brother who is punctual but easily loses his temper? Each might feel that the other’s conduct is lacking something but might forget that aspects of his own conduct are equally inappropriate.
Being late is equally as innapropriate as easily losing your temper?????

Joey, I look forward to your continuation. I have just started to explore this area as I was previously unaware that there were so many books that were chosen from to decide what the NWT "canon" would be.
