Rub a Dub: "An update on the fate of those who died in Sodom and Gomorrah."
Here it is. The Sodomites WILL receive a resurrection, and that's our final word on the matter -- no, wait, -- word just in. Strike that statement. The Sodomites WILL NOT receive a resurrection, and we're not promising that is our final word. In addition, we are ordering all members, at risk of disfellowshipping, to not read The Great Watchtower Contradiction.

Thanks all -- and Blondie, thanks for that organ transplant tip. No telling how many lives were lost on that one. I wonder which of the governing body of that time was brought before a judicial comittee for that egregious act. I'd also like to look at the letters of apology from the governing body members to the families of those organ transplant victims and blood transfusion victims.
None? Okay, how about one single letter of apology. You get the point by now. Here's how that heirarchy really works.

Yup. That was a fiasco as well. Also it's predecessor of 50 years, 1925. We read more into it than ...

How about printing this one to some card stock. That outa raise a few eyebrows -- of course, this young bunch may not even remember who Knorr was. Len
the first i became aware that one existed was 2005. but i was under some rock till then.. the other question is have should probably be fielded in some other thread but i'll ask it here anyway .
how long have watchtower writers been creating their magazine articles, books, booklets, etc., by using computer software?.

Jeffro, you are impressive. I had no idea what meps is until I went to "wiki meps" under that typesetting heading. Now I still don't know but admire anyone who does.
Btw, I was on eBay last night looking for WT lib 2013 -- too pricey -- and spotted a 1993 version. Also too pricey.

i just finished reading this and enjoyed it.
however, if i was newly awakening or on the verge of awakening, i dont think this book would have helped me a great deal.
brother schnell has some good thoughts, however, he is short on detail and description, and even shorter on proof and documentation.. it is interesting reading about the transition of the bible students from a small group of independent noncomformists into an organization characterized by total conformity.
I recently bought a copy of "30 years ... ". I still have my CofC from the early 80's when it first hit the bookshelves. No comparison when you compare the demeanor of the two. Schnell came across to me as bitter yet full of information that, if verifiable, could have offset much of his bitterness. Franz, on the other hand, was articulate, gentle, objective, and came across as factual with an armload of scanned documents within his pages of CofC. May you rest in peace, Ray.

we've all heard the true story.. william miller, a baptist lay preacher and war hero, carefully worked out the 2nd coming of jesus using the bible and chronology.. he was invited to speak and explain his warnings and proof in many churches.
tens of thousands heard and believed and waited.. nothing happened.
the great big nothing was called "the great disappointment.".
Miller was so important to Watch Tower that he was referred to in its pages as Father Miller till the mid 1920s. And to think we used to jump all over Catholics at the door for addressing priests that way.
