View Full Version : Book Update

Hello everyone
Just a quick hello to give you an update on my affairs. As most of you know I have been working on an updated version of the Jehovah Himself Has Become King book, including a new audio version. I would have finished by now but I got whacked by hay fever and asthma early on in June and had to curtail recording 2 chapters shy of finishing the project. Then I had to travel back to the USA on family and personal business. We are also rethinking the book's website.
Because of these setbacks and distractions, and because Internet traffic typically falls off during the summer anyway, I decided to just hold off on the book release until things pick up again in September. A determining factor in my decision to postpone the book is that I need a break. I am working to rebuild my health, juicing, jogging and biking, trying to counteract years of sitting in a chair in front of a computer; trying to get back into fighting trim. But hopefully come September I will be back podcasting and blogging and producing videos.
Hope everyone enjoys the summer.
Fight the fine fight of the faith.

Hi Watchman:
Hope you reach your goal of fighting trim by fall. It could be that by then you will need that extra measure of health as things could get quite dicey by then. Wish you well...

Yes years of sitting in front of the pc does take its toll, im proof of that :icon_neutral:
Like you Robert i have to put my health first, starting to do cycling, stepping and healthy eating, without good health, we end up failing in all aspects of our lives. So yes what your doing is great, just easy on the knees while jogging. Looking forward to September :ban_dance02:

Generally speaking, miraculous revelations have been done away with. Not to say that Jehovah's Holy Spirit no longer helps individuals understand His purposes. It does, but at the end of the day we're left with Proverbs chapter 2:
Proverbs 2:1-22
1 My son, if you will receive my sayings and treasure up my own commandments with yourself, 2 so as to pay attention to wisdom with your ear, that you may incline your heart to discernment; 3 if, moreover, you call out for understanding itself and you give forth your voice for discernment itself, 4 if you keep seeking for it as for silver, and as for hid treasures you keep searching for it, 5 in that case you will understand the fear of Jehovah, and you will find the very knowledge of God. 6 For Jehovah himself gives wisdom; out of his mouth there are knowledge and discernment. 7 And for the upright ones he will treasure up practical wisdom; for those walking in integrity he is a shield, 8 by observing the paths of judgment, and he will guard the very way of his loyal ones. 9 In that case you will understand righteousness and judgment and uprightness, the entire course of what is good.[/b]
Want to understand what it all means? Prayer, study of the Bible, discussions like we have here, more prayer, more study, more discussion, and throughout it all a lot of patience.
One more piece of scriptural advice:
3 Do not put YOUR trust in nobles,
Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs.[/b]
And in case this looks to some like a dis' of Robert, it isn't. Just "Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine." ~1Thess. 5:21
We need to work out our own understandings before we can put faith in God's promises and in the ransom of Jesus Christ. We can't just expect it to be given to us by other individuals or institutions. The food they provide must be inspected thoroughly. Then the truth, as we are able to understand it, can be made our own.

The whole purpose and mission of every Christian is to grope for God. As long as we keep groping we are in the truth. Once we stop, well...let's not stop. Jesus exhorted us to keep on seeking, keep on knocking, keep on asking. So, let's 'keep on, keep'n on,' as the hippies used to say.

Like the Mosaic law was a tutor leading to Christ it made sin manifest, and how only thru Christ does man have a chance at being righteous in Jehovah’s view not by law. Pauls letters to several of the congregations carried that message, the Jews had a real problem getting the point.

hi Robert,
take care when jogging it hammers the joints., and ligaments
cycling is great as long as you don't fall off, or are knocked of by petrol head.
it gives the heart and the lungs a good work out whilst the bike supports the body weight.
of course going uphill is a major effort
tips for cycling
make sure your seat height is correct, balls of the feet just touching the ground whilst seated.
point your knees slightly in toward the cross bar when pedalling
try to keep your pedaling smooth and focus on turning the pedals quickly not your forward speed.
try to keep your cadence between about 90-95 rpms on the flat
and drink before feeling thirsty.
lance has won seven tours so far riding like that.
but also with a mind full of passion.
thank you my friend for all your hard work and dedication in the name of Jehovah God

Since the last update there has been a change in my circumstance. We are moving back to the USA in mid October; but before we do we are going to take a vacation next week and cruise around Italy with Venice and Rome as ports of call. It has been a few years since we have taken a vacation and I have never been on a cruise before. I will be without Internet for about 10 days, starting on the 10th. :o
I am done writing the book but I have a flash programmer setting up a new site for Jehovah Himself Has Become King and it might be awhile before he is done. And I also decided to junk the main e-w site and the media site and separate blog sites and consolidate them onto one site on the e-w.com domain. E-w has fallen off the Google radar, partly because of the fact that it has not been updated with new material in a while. I hope putting all the content on one site, along with fresh, regularly updated material, will help bring it back up in the search results.
So, we are pushing everything back to the 1st of October.

By way of an update: I had mentioned in my last update that the book was finished. That was not entirely true. It seems I cannot finish this thing. My wife says I am obsessive about this project. I think she may be right. If I keep fooling around the system is going to blow before I even get it published.
Part of the problem is that I have been using Word for Mac, and it is not all that stable. Seems that every time I open the document, because I have lots of graphics and stuff, the formatting gets all messed up. I have spent hours, no, days, redoing formatting that ends up getting all screwy. And, of course, while I am straightening things out I always add a few words here and there. Timothy has advised me to just lay the manuscript down and walk away and no one will get hurt. Maybe that's a good idea.
But, seriously, I don't remember the first edition being near this difficult.
Anyway, just wanted to give you an update. We are working on it. To be continued...

It has been accomplished. I am at this very moment uploading the last two Mac and PC audio files to the cloud, from where my trusty webmaster will precipitate them. I think you will enjoy the audio files James. I put together musical introductions and sub-heading interludes and conclusions from the Apple, Logic Loop Library. I hope you enjoy it anyway. It was fun to do and very time consuming, I might add.

Uh, in a word, No. It will likely be a few more days.
When I said I had uploaded the files, that was so that my webmaster could access them. Next he has to upload the files to a site.
What I want to do is display the book using page flip technology with streaming audio. So a person can listen and turn the pages of a virtual book. It is not like a regular website. I am not sure if it has even ever been done before. We are not sure if it will work with 20 plus hours of audio files. The file size is massive. So, there is still some work to be done. We will be in the testing phase for awhile. If it doesn't work we will revise the project accordingly. Call me 'Big Idea Bob' if you want.

There are a couple of new chapters. Three, actually, not counting the epilogue. The "newest light," in my opinion, is in regards to the visible presence of Christ. I had written about this previously on the Daniel blog but in the reworked chapter entitled the Parousia it goes into more detail concerning the meaning of the Greek words parousia, epiphania, and apokalypsis--translated presence, manifestation and revelation.

Hope these are not redundant question. My situation has changed and can only get web access one day a week for now, thus I'm missing out on things.
Once the book and audio are available to the public, will we fallow the same procedures as previously, accessing your site ordering the book and downloading the audio? Or do I remember some type of upgrade and change to your old site?
Should I just keep checking your site looking for the new version and downloads?
Thanks Truthseeker:)

Hi, ah...yeah...it's me again with an update.
First the good news: The PDF of the book is online, but not available yet. However, there were a few setbacks on the audio. What happened was I made a pretty big mistake. During the editing process I added what I thought was a pretty cool effect to my voice called a "spreader." Basically, the way I had it tweaked it makes my voice sound fuller. I thought it sounded great on the headphones. So, I recorded the whole book, some 25-30 hours, just guessing, with the spreader effect. Then I commenced uploading it to a server last week. Uploaded the whole thing. Then I went to test it out and the streaming files sounded horrible. Something in the encoding process for Internet play did not like the spreading effect. So, I ripped everything down. I am going back and remastering everything, but some of the studio files have gotten lost so I am left with doing other file editing tricks to make it listenable. I also made a serious goof on the mastering of the iTunes and MP3 download files, which I won't go into here. I have spent hundreds of hours on this project and it looks like I am going to have to spend a few more to get it right.
On another positive, I pretty much have my new blog set up. It will go live when the book does.
They say that the only real way we learn is from our mistakes. Well, if that is true, considering the sheer volume of mine, I am going to be pretty smart some day.
Okay, back to work. I am hoping by the end of the week, but allowing for the next disaster I'd better say next week.

Okay, this is my last update. The book site is live. So is the audio book. Also, the new e-watchman site is live. The e-watchman blog and the old book site as well as the main e-watchman site are gone. I am still working on both the audio site and the new watchman site and I wasn't going to update the forum until Monday, but I figured someone was going to click on the old links and go there anyway. So, to minimize confusion consider this the official ribbon cutting. I am trying to get a podcast uploaded to the watchman site but other than that it is good to go.
Now on the book site there are a few bugs yet to be worked out. The entry portal plays a little video that has no controls. And unfortunately when you click on any of the links provided the video page does not close out. But because that page is all flash I have to get back to my flash programmer in Karachi to fix that. And on the e-flip page, you may have slow load times depending on you Internet speed. It is quite a large file. Also, you may have only half the book displayed on your screen. To resolve that there is a tool bar at the top of the PDF. You can click on one of the icons to make the book display full screen. I used number 12 font on the online version so it could be read comfortably in full screen mode. If you find the page flipping annoying or tedious or in some way not worth it, there is a downloadable PDF file of the book on the audio site, which is http://jehovah-is-king-audio.com Like I say, I am still working on the sites but all the files are up.
I had not anticipated having to set up two sites on my own, but it was good practice for me. Also, if you notice any goofs or typos please let me know, either on this thread or privately. I already caught one on the first section break. I was experimenting with using Mac Dictation on that and look where it got me.
As far as the hard copy, I had to walk away from the manuscript for a while to preserve my hair, which, I was ripping out by the handfuls trying to get the headers right, which I ended up dumping altogether. Give me a few days to get back to it and reformat it for the publisher.

Also, while I am thinking of it, for those of you who have already read the first edition and do not want to plow through it again looking for something new, Chapter 5, the Parousia, is entirely re-worked. Chapter 7, the Tempest is new material, as is most of the material in Daniel, chapter 24. (I moved the chapter on the King of Fierce Countenance and combined it with Daniel.) Also, there is a new subheading of material for the Man of Lawlessness. And the Epilogue is all fresh stuff. I actually thinned down the chapter Strange Bedfellows. Of course, I re-worded things and add a few things here and there, but the aforementioned were the main additions.

Those ads will change on a daily basis. That is because embedded You Tube videos are not static, but flow fresh from the Google server every time someone clicks on a video. Google, who as you must know, owns You Tube, is now placing advertisements on You Tube videos by means of pay-per-clicks, which means that the Bethel Tours folks paid so many cents every time someone clicks on a video that relates to certain keywords, like Jehovah's Witnesses, Watchtower Society, etc. I am not sure if there is any way to prevent it. It is like watching commercial tv. Someone has to pay for it. Actually, there is a little X in the upper right hand corner of the lower bar that you can click on to prevent the ads from popping up. I think you have to do it for every ad that pops up though.

I am aware of all that. And when I went to replay it again for my wife to see the Orangutan and Hound, there were new ads. I mentioned it to begin with because I just thought it was odd to see an ad for Bethel tours. I know that they do the tours, but I had never seen them advertised before. How that ='s Picky I don't know?:lol:
But while it has been revealed that I am Picky, I will say at this point that I really like your new site and have been glued to my computer chair for a while now.
There are a few things I would take out though, or if not take it out all together, at least rearrange them. You know there are people who get paid to design restaurant menus.:lol:

Will an RSS feed be available?
You're welcome Desert Blossom. Yes, I am trying to figure out how to set up an RSS feed. Square Space does not provide that option so I have to figure out how to set it up. Learning as I go, you know?

I wish I knew how it's done, but all I know how to do is click on the orange RSS button. ;)
I was really impressed with the new look of the site. It looks like Jehovah has revitalized you, I pray that his blessing continues.

Note: The e-flip pagE-turner version is best viewed if you allow the book to load and then click the "full screen" button, third from the left. Then click the magnifying glass icon to zoom the page to the desired size. Then turn the pages as needed.

Hi Robert,
I found a problem with the audio book downloads. Chapter 8 Who is blind, the link does not end in .mp3, so it is listed as file type unknown.:confused:

Hmmm, the file downloads fine for me, but I think that's is because I am using a Mac :p
I'll fix the PDF and MP3 files though. Thanks for your input

Hello Watchman, I appreciate all the good work you have done, and even though I might not completely agree with all that you have posted, a lot of it make sense and is worth while for all of us to consider.
You have done a very good job on the lay out as well, and easy to browse and peruse.

I just realized that the hyperlinks on the page-turner do not work. By the way, the table of Contents chapter listing are hyperlinks, and they do work. The external links to various articles are the ones that do not appear to be active. Maybe it is just a browser issue for Safari. I'll check it out with Firefox.
Also, a couple of readers have sent me email notifications of typos. I really appreciate that. If anyone else is reading the book and you take note of a goof or typo please let me know. I am holding off publishing the hard copy until I can make a few corrections. Then I'll update the downloadable PDF with corrections as well. Getting perfect copy is almost impossible for me without a professional proofreader. I am just trying to get by on the cheap.

Hi Gang
I finished uploading the book to the Watchman's Post blog. This makes the info a little more accessible and allows me to link to relevant chapters in subsequent blog entries. Also, I plugged the hyperlinks in that will take you to various articles and research materials. The hard copy is still in production but I think it may be in the final stages.
Also, I added a new feature, Jehovah's Witnesses Beliefs, (http://e-watchman.com/jehovahs-witnesses/) which I will be adding to on a daily basis. It is intended for non-Jehovah's Witnesses primarily. And it will give the search engines something to chew on too.
I am trying to achieve a sort of a critical mass on the Internet. Trying to build a little momentum. Finally got a front page listing on Yahoo for searches involving the phrase "Jehovah's Witnesses." Still working on Google. Look for a fresh podcast on Monday. Still not on iTunes yet though.

QUOTE from DOWNFALL OF AMERICA -
The felling of the nations at the hands of the tyrant occurs as a result of the opening of the sixth seal of Revelation, which results in the symbolic political luminaries of the heavens being plunged into darkness. Ezekiel uses apocalyptic language very similar to Revelation in describing the ramifications of the fall of Egypt. The prophet says: “And when you get extinguished I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. As for the sun, with clouds I shall cover it, and the moon itself will not let its light shine. All the luminaries of light in the heavens—I shall darken them on your account, and I will put darkness upon your land.”
If we were truly at this stage now, what evidence is there that seals 1-5 have been opened?
Maybe I am misunderstanding.

Quote from "the eighth king"
Doubtless, the downfall of America will rock the world to its very foundation and call into question whether the present global civilization will be able to continue in existence at all. The terrible death stroke upon the Anglo-American system may perhaps seem as if civilization is coming to an immediate end. This unique and terrifying phenomenon is described in prophecy by the unsealing of the sixth seal: “And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake occurred; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the entire moon became as blood, and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as when a fig tree shaken by a high wind casts its unripe figs. And the heaven departed as a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and every island were removed from their places. And the kings of the earth and the top-ranking ones and the military commanders and the rich and the strong ones and every slave and every free person hid themselves in the caves and in the rock-masses of the mountains. And they keep saying to the mountains and to the rock-masses: ‘Fall over us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, because the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’”(Revelation 6:12-17)
But the Watchtower ventures into the realm of absurdity by thus suggesting that the First World War initiated the terrible day of Jehovah’s wrath. Supposedly the tectonic tumult that brings about the collapse of the mountain-like institutions and causes the political firmament to go into eclipse has already begun. If, though, the horrific events initiated by the opening of the sixth seal have not yet occurred, as they surely have not, it also becomes apparent that the five preceding seals have not been unsealed either.

I thought it was interesting that Iran concluded to undertake an arrangement with Turkey to help that country develop domestic nuclear power.
I feel that the Iranian government would hope to capitalise on the worlds press reporting on this. Due to the fact that there has been attempts to bring Iran to heal on the issue.
I don`t really know the details but it seems their is condesention of those in the G8 or UN Security Council the UK/USA dyad toward them on this issue.

whenever i hear about israeli/palestinian or things about north korea or iran and their having talks i think about;
27 "And as regards these two kings, their heart will be inclined to doing what is bad, and at one table a lie is what they will keep speaking. But nothing will succeed, because [the] end is yet for the time appointed.
has this already been fulfilled and who are the two kings in this?

Honestly sometimes I wonder if there is anyone and did I mention anyone who KNOWS what the hell is going ON with anything.
Mankind has been given glimpses of what might happen in the future solely by prophetic patterns of the past.
Can anyone give an example of any thing prophesied from the holy writings that has been fulfilled in our life time – Jinn Anthony me Brian Robert Shikinah Futuremans Ari including anyone members of this board any one??!!!!
Daniels prophetic vision was sealed until the end…. But interesting John’s prophetic vision of Revelations was not. Rev 22:
10 He also tells me: “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, for the appointed time is near.
I’m sorry for sounding crass but admittedly I find my Faith a bit shaky lately!!!
And that fact is breaking my heart. :confused:

Hello truthseeker, we are scattered sheep looking for good grass to graze on, so we go wandering along until we find some.
Also some of us might have fled because of being mistreated by our shepherds who are not looking after Christ sheep in the correct way or they have not led the sheep to greener pastures, where the sheep could be fed properly with life sustaining food.
Some of the sheep have being literally chased away by the shepherds, as if with a whip.
Out of over 12,000,000 witnesses that were baptized over 5,000,000 left the organization, leaving around 7,000,000 or so still in the organization.
This is according to a statistic chart made by someone who researched the organization.
This is quite a turnover rate, for an organization that is suppose to posses a spiritual and social paradise.
If you were in a real paradise would you really want to leave it, to go to the wilderness or a desert?
Maybe in our wandering we may get lost, some of us might lose our way until the "fine shepherd returns" and searches for us and bring us back altogether again in one flock.
This is how I see myself now, a lost sheep searching for a flock of sheep where I know I'll belong and be protected and fed.
Ezekiel 34
1 And the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them, to the shepherds, So says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who are feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?
3 You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool, you sacrifice the fat ones, and you do not feed the flock.
4 You have not made the weak strong; and you have not healed the sick, and you have not bound up the broken. And the banished have not been brought back, and you have not sought the lost, but you rule them with force and with harshness.
5 And they were scattered for lack of a shepherd. And they became food to all the beasts of the field when they were scattered.
6 My sheep strayed through all the mountains and on every high hill. And My sheep were scattered on all the face of the earth, and none searched, and none sought for them.
7 For this reason, shepherds, hear the Word of Jehovah:
8 As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, surely because My sheep became a prey, and My sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, from not having a shepherd, and because My shepherds did not search for My sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed the flock,
9 so, O shepherds, hear the Word of Jehovah:
10 So says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require My sheep from their hand and cause them to cease from pasturing the sheep. And the shepherds shall no longer feed themselves, for I will deliver My sheep from their mouth, and they will not be food to devour.
11 For so says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep, and seek them out.
12 As a shepherd seeks his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so I will seek out My sheep and will deliver them from all the places where they were scattered in a day of cloud, and thick cloud.
13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the lands, and I will bring them to their land and feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the dwelling places of the land.
14 I, even I, will feed them in a good pasture, and on the high mountains of Israel their fold shall be. They shall lie there in a good fold, and they shall feed in a fat pasture, all the mountains of Israel.
15 I will feed My sheep, and I will make them lie down, declares the Lord Jehovah.
16 I will seek the lost, and I will return the banished. And I will bind up the broken, and I will make the weak strong. But I will destroy the fat and the strong, I will feed them with judgment.

Wows imagine that!! The cost of the book has actually decreased not increased.
When I purchased my copy of the old book about year and a half ago it was about $25 plus Shiping&Hadling.
Thanks for being generous Robert!
I have several ex brothers that could benefit from your labor, thus put the pieces back together provided there heart is in the right direction. Ill pray before distributing – Would not want to be guilty of throwing peals before swine!!!
