The history of the 19th century Bible Student movement, with occasional more recent developments among those who stayed with the Watch Tower Society. A place for historians who love this subject. Not a place for polemics or for debating beliefs; simply history written as neutrally as possible. Enjoy! Some reprinted pieces first appeared on: truthhistory.blogspot.com
“On September 1, 1947, the authorities lifted the ban on activities, and on September 16, they registered the activities of Jehovah's Witnesses throughout the country as Association Les Témoins de Jéhovah. However, since The Watchtower was banned in France, the magazine was published monthly in the form of a 64-page booklet entitled The Bulletin Internal of Jehovah's Witnesses, which contained articles for study in the congregations that month. The ban on distributing "The Watchtower" was lifted in 1975.”

So I had to download these two files and put them on the blog. This is a very important part of the story.
