 HOW TO USE THIS INDEX
SCOPE AND VALUE
Jehovah’s Witnesses are pleased to provide
this Index covering the publications issued or re-
vised during the years indicated.
Some regular features in The Watchtower,
Awake!, and Our Kingdom Ministry are in-
dexed under main headings identical with
the feature name, such as QUESTIONS FROM
READERS.
More information on how to use the Index
can be found by consulting the references under
WATCH TOWER PUBLICATIONS INDEX.
The Index will be of great value to you in con-
nection with your field ministry, congregation
activity, and personal study. It will be of like val-
ue for family guidance and the practical matters
of everyday life.
SUBJECT INDEX
Order of Listing. Main headings are in al-
phabetical order. Those consisting of a number,
such as 1914 or 144,000, are alphabetized as if
spelled out. (Thus, 144,000 is under “O” for “one
hundred.”) Place-names beginning with “St.” are
alphabetized as if “St.” were “Saint.” In alphabet-
izing titles, “the” and “a” are not used but are
placed at the end (WATCHTOWER, THE).
Subheadings are usually in alphabetical order,
but some are in numerical order. Lists of years,
such as those under DATES (Calendar), are in
chronological order. Lists of scriptures, such as
those under BIBLE AUTHENTICITY, are in Bi-
ble order. Other numbers generally fall into nu-
merical order by digit and precede alphabetical
entries.
How to Find Information. Information is
classified by subject rather than by the title of an
article or a chapter. However, key words in a ti-
tle may suggest a subject heading.
To locate information, determine what the
subject is, select a noun or a phrase that ex-
presses it, and look for a main heading using
that term. It is best to try a word or an expres-
sion that is as specific as possible. For exam-
ple, if you desire information on blood trans-
fusions, look under BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS
rather than BLOOD.
Service experiences can be found under
FIELD MINISTRY EXPERIENCES as well as
under main headings for any related subject, in-
cluding individual publications. They can also be
found under the name of the country where the
experience took place.
Personal names are rarely listed as main head-
ings. Some names may be found under LIFE STO-
RIES OF JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES. All Wit-
nesses who are included in the Index are listed
under the land(s) where they served.
3
Main headings that have listings by name or
by year often provide names that can be used to
locate other main headings for the individual
items listed. There you will find further refer-
ences. For example, under CONVENTIONS, List
by Year, you will find “2014, ‘Keep Seeking First
God’s Kingdom!’ Conventions.” Turn to the main
heading “KEEP SEEKING FIRST GOD’S KING-
DOM!” CONVENTIONS (2014), and you will find
all the references that pertain to it for the years
covered in this Index. Conventions that were
not given a specific theme can often be found un-
der a main heading for their principal city, for ex-
ample, COLUMBUS, OHIO, CONVENTIONS.
After finding a main heading, first read the
cross-references that appear immediately below
it. These may direct you to a heading that more
specifically addresses the information you seek.
If not, begin looking through the subheadings.
Bold centered headings are often used to group
subheadings, and at times these are noted just af-
ter the cross-references so that you can go di-
rectly there if appropriate.
If there is no main heading for the word or ex-
pression you select or if the information you seek
is not under the heading you have chosen, try a
synonym or a more general subject.
Even when you find relevant references, re-
member that one main heading may not list all
references available. Hence, especially in impor-
tant matters, it is good to try other main head-
ings as well.
Note: The term “Bible Students” (both words
capitalized) refers to Jehovah’s Witnesses from
the time of C. T. Russell until 1931, when the
name Jehovah’s Witnesses was adopted.
SCRIPTURE INDEX
Scriptures Included. Only verses that are
explained in some way are included in the Scrip-
ture Index. Hence, if the material explains the
meaning of the text, gives its background, tells
why the text was written, clarifies an original-
language word and its implications, or has other
explanatory material, the text would be indexed,
since the verse or part of it is explained there.
Scriptures that are used as proof texts but
that are not explained are omitted. For example,
Ezekiel 18:4 may be used merely to show that the
soul dies. In this instance the scripture would not
be indexed, since no explanation of the text is
given.
How to Find Explanatory Material. Se-
quential page numbers in the references (e.g.,
23-25) are those having the scripture, its citation,
and its explanation. It may be that the citation
does not appear on the first page shown; the ex-
planation may begin there. In some cases, the ex-
planation of a verse begins, other material inter-
venes, and then the explanation resumes. Hence,
be sure to read all of each page indicated.
REFERENCES
Order of Listing. References are grouped
by years, the most recent year appearing first.
Within each year, the order is as follows: The
Watchtower, Bibles, books, booklets and bro-
chures, Awake!, and Our Kingdom Ministry.
References to The Watchtower, Awake!, and
Our Kingdom Ministry run from the first issue
to the last issue of the year. References to Our
Kingdom Ministry are for the United States and
simultaneous editions.
We trust that this Index will help you as a sin-
cere student of the Bible to “walk worthily of Je-
hovah in order to please him fully as you go on
bearing fruit in every good work and increasing
in the accurate knowledge of God.”—Col. 1:10.
