The Watchtower's 1975 Disappointment, Part Two: Considering the Evidence

Part one of the series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mXCbqgkwvg

Ask yourself this: if you seriously believed that the Watchtower was being used by "God's woman" and was the "faithful and discreet slave" mentioned by Jesus, would you think they were joking when they claimed that 1975 would be "fitting" for the millennial reign of Jesus to begin? If they told you that you wouldn't have a future in this world, wouldn't you take it seriously? When people did, they eventually got blamed for "reading too much" into 1975. Discover who's really to blame in this video.

There was so much I wanted to include in this video, but 11 minutes will have to do for now.

Articles considered:
1. Watchtower, October 1, 1950: "The Way of Success"
2. Awake, October 8, 1968: "What Will the 1970's Bring?"
3. Kingdom Ministry, May 1974: "How Are You Using Your Life?"
4. Awake, May 22, 1969: "What Future for the Young?"

Audio considered:
"What is the Significance of 1975?" Talk given by Frederick W. Franz in early February, 1975 in Los Angeles.

The excuse is they are imperfect men even while they are supposed to be chosen by god, the governing body of old men who run the watchtower. So they are by god, a.k.a. infallible, but still fallible brothers that cannot always be perfect. bah

@101101101777 Sweet deal they've got, huh? It means they can have millions of devoted followers with none of the responsibility. What a gig.

Wow. This was very well put together. It's undeniable evidence of how a con man does his dirty work. The careful words he'll use, (and doesn't use), to keep the anticipation of his product high.

I wish every JW could look at this, and your other videos with an unbiased position. Surely they'd get it. Surprised your video doesn't have more views. I'll try and bring attention to it.

@RODikUlus Well, that would be very much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it!

Spot on Sauce! I'm sick of the old excuse for false prophecy 'Oh, they'ye imperfect men, they make mistakes yadda yadda yadda' If they're imperfect like me then I can make my own desicions without their rubbish. I wonder if Franz was counselled on word whiskers - er er er er

[JBSauce]

@PuNkOfNiCe It's a nice gig--you can say you're imperfect, but have people hang on to your every word as if you're not.

They hung on to every word Franz said, so naturally they've got no stones to criticize their oracle.

@borissman Nice, I had no idea people were still watching this thing...

[64030mo]

your video is irrefutable about the watchtower predicting the end for 1975. I wish it was not true but evidence doesnt lie. What a shame that they actually blamed the rank and file for 1975! The apostles also had false expectations but didn't go out preaching them and making people believe in them under the disguise of being unfaithful if not accepted.

[64030mo]

It's very sad how the vast majority of jws actually believe that the 1975 expectations were made up by individual members and not the governing body of false prophets.
