Welcome to the Prophecy Watchers Magazine Database (pwm-db) wiki!

  • The purpose of this project is to create a database of all the Prophecy Watchers Magazine articles to allow searching by author(s)/title. This database does not include the article itself.
  • These text files should be able to run on Macintosh, Linux, or Windows computers, though they were developed on Windows laptop.

History of the Prophecy Watchers Magazine Database (pwm-db) project.

  • First, I am not affiliated with Prophecy Watchers or the Prophecy Watchers Magazine, though I did received permission to create the Prophecy Watchers Magazine Database.
  • I have been blessed that I found Prophecy Watchers a few months prior to the release of the Premier Issue of the Prophecy Watchers Magazine. I subscribed and now I have a lifetime subscription to the Prophecy Watchers Magazine. So, I am blessed having all paper issues of the Prophecy Watchers Magazine.
  • I knew the Prophecy Watchers Magazine needed an index, when I was searching for Dr. Ken Johnson's article about the Enoch's seven year calendar. I searched from the first issue until I found it.
  • And, I wanted to share the database so that others may find it useful.
  • And, try to make it cross-platform.

Roadmap for the Prophecy Watchers Magazine Database (pwm-db) project.

  • (Done) Create json formatted text file of the Prophecy Watchers Magazine Database.
  • (Done) Create html formatted text file of the Prophecy Watchers Magazine Database. This format should be the most platform friendly.
  • Build a C++/CLI WinForm tool to search by author or title.
  • Build a C++ Nana tool to search by author or title.

Current Status

  1. The json formatted text file has been created of the Prophecy Watchers Magazine Database from the Premier to current issue.
  2. The html formatted text files have been created of the Prophecy Watchers Magazine Database from the Premier to current issue.

Searching by author

  • Articles/titles written by the same author, but show different names/titles within the issue, will have a name written in parenthesis. The name within the parenthesis will commonly have the shortest name that I have found (i.e. Ken Johnson). This will allow one search for all titles by an author using the name within the parenthesis.
  • The best method to search for an author is by last name only first; no first name, nickname, or titles.

Usage

  • Using the json formatted text file:
    1. Open the latest pwm-db.json file, located within the Data/json directory of this project, with an editor program (i.e. Notepad, Visual Studio Code, ...).
    2. With you editor program search for the author/article you wanted to find.
  • Using the html formatted text file:
    1. Open the latest pwm-db.html file, located within the Data/html directory of this project, with a web browser program (i.e. Opera, Firefox, ...).
    2. With your web browser search for the author/article you wanted to find.
