Watch Tower Publications Index 1930-1985, “Beliefs Clarified (List by Year)”
“1935, flag salute: yb75 168-169 … 1936, Jesus did not die on cross: yb75 148-149; ch 27; g36 11/4 72 … 1973, tobacco and other harmful addictives: w73 338-343 … 1978, fornication (porneia) as grounds for divorce: w78 2/15 31-32”
The organisation’s own index lists, year by year, the beliefs it regards as having been clarified, with references to the publications that announced each one. The list is printed as year headings with subject entries beneath them, so an entry may appear either on the same line as its year or on a line of its own: ‘pagan origin of Christmas’ sits under the 1928 heading and ‘unnatural sex within marriage’ under the 1978 heading, each on its own line. The entries quoted here are whole lines, in the order in which they appear.
