STRANGE as it may seem, the Watchtower Society today still teaches essentially the same thing: that all these Bible verses, and others, foretold what Joseph Rutherford and his associates would do. For example, the November 1, 1993, Watchtower (pages 11-12) applies the 1260 days*, 1290 days, and 1335 days of Daniel 12:7, 11-12 to the date Rutherford was sentenced to prison, the date he spoke at the convention in Ohio, and the date a book he wrote was released. The organization has been fairly consistent in identifying the 1260 days of Revelation 11:3 as the same period mentioned at Daniel 12:7, but it has flip-flopped several times on the dates when that period began and ended. -------------- *"a time, and times and half a time" = a (lunar) year + 2 years + 1/2 year = 360+360+360+180=1260
