  JW Literature... Lots of it... what to burn and what to keep?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have lots and lots of watchtower literature... and i don't know what could be useful in the future to have as a reference or as a keeper.

  i am definitely keeping the 1993 and 1994 bound volumes of the awake!

  (no, we are not false prophets... down in the same page, the generation of 1914 will not pass... also the youths who put god the watchtower first).

  Why are you looking forward to 1872? Er, 1873? Um...1874? Oh, I mean 1975?

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  "why are you looking forward to 1872?".

  .. "in this chapter we present the bible evidence which indicates that six thousand years from the creation of adam were complete with a.d. 1872; and hence that, since a.d. 1872 are chronologically entered upon the seventh thousand or the millennium.

  " (studies in the scriptures, vol.
