3. Does the Watchtower measure up to this test?
          The Watchtower has made numerous false prophecies. I have found that for the average person many of them are hard to verify. The reason for this is because the local library does not collect old publications by the Watchtower. It can be difficult but not impossible to find these old publications. I have decided to share one false prophecy that is found in the New York Times, N.Y., Monday, Oct.5, 1914, pg.8. I have chosen this false prophecy from among the many others. The reason why is because, the average person can obtain it from the local library. I found it on microfilm at Southern Oregon University. If your library does not have it simply ask them if they can borrow it from another library or if they can at least photo copy the requested page from the microfilm. The library will charge a small fee for this service.

           You can also obtain a whole book of false prophecies including this one found in the New York Times.  There are 2 ways you can do this:
(1) You can borrow the book from your local library by giving them the following information.
Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data

            Bibliography: p.

(2) You can buy the book. Simply ask your local book store to order the book titled "How to answer a Jehovah's Witness" by Robert A. Morey. It was published by Bethany House Publishers Minneapolis, MN. 55438,
When I checked Christian Book Distributors on 4-28-99 they sold  this book for $5.50.

The following next 4 pages is the text as it appeared in the New York Times, N.Y, Monday, Oct.5, 1914, pg.8.
I have re-typed it so all of the words are legible and easy to read. Copies from microfilm are readable, but not always easy on the eyes.
Read the article then answer the following questions:
1. What battle was prophesied to follow World War 1?
2. When will the kingdom be established on earth?
3. What date was assigned as the close of the 6,000 years since Adam's creation?
4. Is this a true or false prophecy and how should you respond according to the Bible?
