any witness that bought anything in 1975 thinking they wouldnt have to pay for it were idiots. i se quotes on here of witnesses saying," 6000 + 1000 is 7000. so we have come to the end of days." and i think (as someone who has been a witness) who were they? we know the Bible better than any. Christ said, "As for the hour and day no one knows, only the Father." why does no one ever look at the 1914 propecy made in 1870's? Yeah a few thing happened then(WW1) that NO one forsaw except the JW's!

@bluegrassreb1 You make a lot of assumptions from a WT perspective. Look at the facts from an unbiased perspective. The 1914 prophecy made in 1870s never happened because they (C.T. Russell) predicted the end of the world. All the literature concerning the the so-called WWI prophecy was produced after the fact. Like they were attempting to cover-up the failed prophecy by saying they had predicted WWI as fact.

@bluegrassreb1

Shame on you for calling your own brothers and sisters "idiots".

I was a JW, but would never do a thing like that.

Be ashamed of your yourself, be very ashamed.

@bluegrassreb1

"any witness that bought anything in 1975 thinking they wouldnt have to pay for it were idiots".

The JWs in the Governing Body were the idiots for they are the source of it. Much more was said at big conventions than in the magazines.

Go do your homework.

These duped rank-and-file Witnesses who you despise believed in what the Society was saying. "1975" had to come from SOMEWHERE, right?

From your leadership.

They are the idiots.

I feel sorry for those YOU call "idiots".

@ThemintPattie The Bible reveals 3 prophecy sources; from God, from Satan, or out of the "flesh" or out of our "own spirit". Since WT has so many failed prophecies we know they’re not prophesying by God’s direction. Leaving only two alternatives; from Satan, or they are from "the flesh". Ezekiel 13:8 "Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lie, therefore, behold, I am against you", declares the Lord God."

@ThemintPattie 1975: 6,000-years of human history, the end of the world would come within “months, not years.” (August 15, 1968 Watchtower pg.499)

@ThemintPattie "Just think, brothers, there are only about ninety months left before 6,000 years of mans existence on earth is completed... The majority of people living today will probably be alive when Armageddon breaks out, and there are no resurrection hopes for those who are destroyed then. So, now more than ever, it is vital not to ignore that spirit of wanting to do more." (Kingdom Ministry, March 1968, p. 4 [note: 1968 + 90 months = 1975])

[goodwindc]

@ThemintPattie The Watchtower did in fact make claim that "man's creation will end in 1975" (Life Everlasting In Freedom Of The Sons Of God p. 29) and that it would be "in the autumn of the year 1975". (Awake! 10/8/68 p. 14).

@ThemintPattie what happened in 1919 and why does the 1900s sound hypercritical ?
