"1914 and 1942 are two key dates. In 1914, WWI started and the Society taught that Christ had begun to rule and thrown Satan out of heaven. In 1942, the Society taught that the king mentioned in Revelation that was would rise again with a new name was the League of Nations, a few years afterwards the UN came into existence.
DO YOU REALLY NEED ANYMORE PROOF BESIDES THESE TWO DATES THAT INDICATE WITHOUT DOUBT THAT YOU ARE WITH JEHOVAH’S ONLY ORGANIZATION ON EARTH? SHOULDN’T WE ALL BE CERTAIN THAT WE ARE THE ONLY TRUE RELIGION!!!!!!!!!? (this is not paraphrased)"
Ahhh... the old "Texas Sharpshooting" logical fallacy. A more logical explaination to this would be:
In 1914 and 1942, the political climate around the world was shaky at best. In 1914, most of the western world was moving from being governed by monarchs to being governed by congresses, parliments and other sorts of republican and democratic forms of government. Examples of this phenomenon were countries like Prussia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Russia. The people were being made into serfs for too long and they were tired of it. They were looking to revolt. The powers that be on the other hand wanted to keep their stranglehold. It was an uneasy balance that could fall apart at any time. The Archduke was assasinated and the powers that be, fearing that they would look impotent to the people, waged war on each other. Any idiot at the time could see that the world was going to change from being governed by royals to being governed by parliments and congresses. The WT simply stated the obvious.
In 1942, colonies all over the world were sick of being controlled by countries that were thousands of miles away from them, not to mention too that Germany wanted to become a colonial power. Everybody knew that Hitler was one day going to try to conquer Europe. It didn't take a genius to figure that out. It also didn't take a genius to figure out that the colonial empires of many western nations were in danger of collapsing. Add to that a global depression and you had yourself a powdereg.
If you apply logical thinking to the WT's predictions, you can simply see that the WT were good guessers and not prophets nor guided by god. For anything that didn't fit their prediction, they simply moved their facts to fit their predictions, hence why the world didn't end in 1914, but Jesus simply "came invisibly" instead. They simply did what "mind readers" have been doing for centuries. Except for the letting children bleed to death, not informing the police about child molestors in their mists, latent racism, etc.
