  a thread began some 10 years ago when our friend atlantis made a pdf available of jws modern history book.

  yes, that book is available on my 2015 library cd but only certain chapters.

  naturally, wt eliminated certain entire chapters and you can only guess why.

In my case of research I needed that graphic where they editorially tore off the top of a magazine that showed a headline, "END OF ALL KINGDOMS IN 1914” -- which was exactly what Watchtower had predicted 25 years prior to 1914 in 1889.

  That 10 year old thread, with dead hyperlinks, is here:

  I think I'm missing something again. Why do we care if they have 'records' on us?

  I don't care as I've been out for 41 years. However, if my simply making a request for my records will impose a financial burden / hardship on this borganization, I'm probably going to do it. Multiply my request times thousands of others making their request and they're going to be in a world of financial hurt.

  If I, in fact, get a copy of my information I will then be inclined to post it here. It will be interesting to find out the reason for my df as they never called me or notified me via postal service. I learned about it via one of my sons.

  Here's a puzzling set of numbers I found in the Jan 15 issue of WT. You will see scans of the election results for society's officers. I took the few minutes to tally the numbers of voters to the sum of 1,142,980.

  Here's where my ignorance shines through. I thought WT membership was in the realm of some 25,000 to 50,000 at that time. Therefore, that sum of more than one million who voted for the officers appears strange. Any thoughts?

  Two quotes within that video I would like to source.

  Referring to 1925:

  1. "fixed date beyond doubt"

  2. "he had made with god himself"

  I've googled these phrases and can find nothing but paraphrased references.

  I almost forgot, it was 1917 when they launched the Millions campaign so it's not surprising to find a reference to it in the first issue of 1918. Note, however, that they only used "may" never -- not the "will" never modifier -- like the title of the infamous book / booklet.

  Hey, Vanderhoven7:

  h. Do you know why JWs were adding rooms onto their homes in the early 1920s? (because in 1926 they could call Abraham in Jerusalem and ask him to raise grandma)

  What's the source for that one?
