The Golden Age, “Health”

13. November 1929 · pp.106-107 (the sentence on p. 107) · H. W. Newcomb · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society (Golden Age Publishing)

“Avoid serum inoculations and vaccinations, as they pollute the blood stream with their filthy pus.”

A signed contribution by H. W. Newcomb, beginning on page 106 and listed in the issue contents under “Science and Invention”. The Golden Age was a general-interest magazine that carried signed articles by outside contributors alongside its own editorial matter, so this sentence is the contributor’s, not a statement of the organisation’s position. Four lines above it in the same contents list is an item advising readers to avoid aluminium cooking utensils.

Hinweis zu Herkunft und Überprüfung for The Golden Age, Health

Hinweis zur Vertrauensangabe. Scan opened; the sentence is on printed page 107, whose own running head reads "NOVEMBER 13, 1929 - THE GOLDEN AGE - 107". The by-line was confirmed from the article heading on page 106 and the issue contents list.

Herkunft des Scans. Internet Archive item 'golden-age-1929' (OCR text searched).

Notes. Two common miscitations: the sentence is often given as The Golden Age of 1 May 1929 p. 502, which is the wrong issue; and it is usually quoted without "and vaccinations", which is in the printed text. It is also commonly presented as the magazine's own voice when it carries a by-line.

The Golden Age, “Vaccination (by Dr. H. R. Rickards, reprinted from The Quest)”

1. Mai 1929 · pp.502-503 · H. R. Rickards (reprint) · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society (Golden Age Publishing)

“Thinking people would rather have smallpox than vaccination, because the latter sows the seed of syphilis, cancers, eczema, erysipelas, scrofula, consumption, even leprosy and many other loathsome affections. Hence the practice of vaccination is a crime, an outrage and a delusion.”

A reprinted anti-vaccination article appearing in the 1 May 1929 issue (issue contents list 'VACCINATION'); the page-502 marker precedes it and the 'May 1, 1929' running head follows within the article.

Herkunft des Scans. Internet Archive item 'golden-age-1929' (bound volume of The Golden Age 1929; uploader-contributed scan; OCR text file 'Golden Age 1929_djvu.txt' downloaded and searched).

Notes. This is what actually appears at g 1929 5/1 p. 502. The 'filthy pus' sentence widely attributed to this page is in the 13 Nov 1929 issue (see the 13 November 1929 record).

The Watchtower, “The Path of the Righteous Does Keep Getting Brighter”

1. Dezember 1981 · pp.26-31 · par. 2 (p. 27); par. 19 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“At times explanations given by Jehovah's visible organization have shown adjustments, seemingly to previous points of view. But this has not actually been the case. This might be compared to what is known in navigational circles as “tacking.” By maneuvering the sails the sailors can cause a ship to go from right to left, back and forth, but all the time making progress toward their destination in spite of contrary winds.”

Par. 19: 'such development of understanding, involving “tacking” as it were, has often served as a test of loyalty for those associated with the “faithful and discreet slave.”'

The Watchtower, ““Get Out of Her, My People””

1. Juni 1952 · pp.333-340 · pars. 8-9 (pp. 335-336) · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“those destroyed by God at Sodom and Gomorrah are eternally “cut off”. … By no wresting of scripture can this be made to mean a future resurrection for slain of the Lord. … If those slain by the Lord at Sodom have no resurrection, then those slain by him at Armageddon will have none, for the former pictures the latter.”

Argues from Jude 7 and 2 Peter 2 that Sodom's destruction was final and that it pictures Armageddon.
