In their own words:
"They had preached that in an early time God would overthrow "Christendom". Many had emphasized the year 1925 as the date, and then when that date did not materialize the date was moved up to 1932. Again, 1932 came and "Christendom" was not destroyed, and now it was discovered that "Christendom" would be spared for a little while longer for the sake of the Jonadab class, and this made the proud "elective elder" crowd very mad." -The Watchtower, February 15, 1938, page 54)
I wonder why they were mad?
Seems it was all Jehovah's fault again: "it was discovered that "Christendom" would be spared for a little while longer for the sake of the Jonadab class".
Things don't change, do they?
Cheers,
