  Quote Attributed to Karl Klein

   "If you have a tendency towards 'apostasy', get a hobby and keep
   yourself busy to keep your mind off of it. Stay away from deep Bible
   study to determine meanings of the scriptures."

   This quote was allegedly uttered in an address to the Watchtower
   Society, on April 30 1980. Similar sentiments are frequently expressed
   in The Watchtower (Nov. 1 1961 p. 668, Jul. 1 1965 p. 391, Oct. 1 1967
   p. 587, Dec. 1 1981 p. 27, Aug. 15 1981 p. 28, Oct 1 1994 p. 6). I
   remember that when I was a Witness, the expression "independent
   thinker" was used only in a pejorative sense.

  Watchtower, Mar. 1 1922

   "The indisputable facts, therefore, show that the "time of the end"
   began in 1799; that the Lord's second presence began in 1874."

   Witnesses tend to forget that the current "1914" doctrine was vastly
   different even in the 1920's. The absolute assurance of the writer of
   this article is quite interesting, don't you think?
