Oops. sorry, the first paragraphs are from Watchtower 2/1/1969 p. 71
and here is the full quote for Watchtower 1917 November 1 p.324: "He proved by Bible chronology the prescence of the Lord from 1874 on"

if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

Jesus disagreed with the law in several instances. Many of the laws were written while taking into account the people's hard-heartedness.

In 1954, as the fortieth anniversary of that marked year approached, the historian H. R. Trevor-Roper said of the great change 1914 made: “It is instructive to compare the first World War with the second . . . the first war marked a far greater change in history. It closed a long era of general peace and began a new age of violence in which the second war is simply an episode. Since 1914 the world has had a new character: a character of international anarchy. . . . Thus the first World War marks a turning point in modern history.”
World leaders have also commented on the significance of the year 1914. Former chancellor of West Germany Konrad Adenauer spoke of the time “before 1914 when there was real peace, quiet and security on this earth—a time when we didn’t know fear.” Then he added: “Security and quiet have disappeared from the lives of men since 1914. And peace? Since 1914, the Germans have not known real peace nor has much of mankind.”Compare to:
Watchtower 1894 July 15 p.227 "… Our readers are writing to know if there may not be a mistake in the 1914 date. They say that they do not see how present conditions can hold out so long under the strain."
Watchtower 1917 November 1 p.324 "1874"
They can prove anything can't they?

How about this one?
Watchtower 1894 July 15 p.227 "… Our readers are writing to know if there may not be a mistake in the 1914 date. They say that they do not see how present conditions can hold out so long under the strain."
HA HA HA HA! I thought the world was showing great peace and promise until 1914?
Hands down. May 22 1969 AWAKE!
"If you are a young person. you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years."
I agree!
Hey, this is fun!

While that may be true Jonathon, I try to look at the context of warnings about Armageddon. To whom was Christ speaking? The Bible writers speaking, and why?

The war of the great day of the almighty
Let's see how many synonyms we can get...
Just like Christ Class switched to Messiah Class and then to Anointed Class
inspired changed to spirit directed changed to spirit guided

Why do Non-Christians never seem to get that I had the bible, I had religion for 25 years of my life and I never experienced the Spirit of God that way?
I have a friend who had JW religion she was raised in, then the freedom of atheism, then added in the Buddhist religion for 15 years, and she never experienced the Spirit of God in any of those ways.
Nothing made such changes in our lives, not wishful thinking, not religion, not freedom from religion, not meditation, not praying to the wrong/fake god, not a placebo. None of these things caused us to find God.
Christ. Only Christ. -

Great Tribulation
That is what the dubs try to scare me with. I have a few hateful warning letters from them. They don't seem to understand that they are telling me that God hates me enough to destroy me...

My JW father's attitude toward this was that the woman had it coming because she was yelling at my brother as she was entering the house, and my sister-in-law needed to be more submissive.
Thank you for posting. This is exactly the disgusting attitude that they are teaching.
One aspect of this that disturbs me to the bone is that this article is not being studied only by adults, but by teens, preteens and children. Yes indeed, they are certainly being inculcated are they not? Directed like arrows from a bow. The girls about being set up to justify (as AnneB does) abuse and the boys are being set up to think that it's not nearly as bad a sin as all that. Hell, they may even conclude that if they'd like their future wives to be more submissive, a punch here and there would do the trick.
Yes. Good point.
