1958 "'Sometime between April 16 and 23, 1957, Armageddon will sweep the world! Millions of persons will perish in its flames and the land will be scorched.' So prophesied a certain California pastor, Mihran Ask, in January 1957. Such false prophets tend to put the subject of Armageddon in disrepute." Watchtower, Oct. 15, 1958, p. 613
Question.... Why can the above pastor be labeled a "false prophet " simply because his predicted date has past , maybe he was just" eager" for God's will for man to come to pass ? According to the WT if you get the event right but the time frame wrong you are not a false prophet .
The Wt was "eager" for something major to happen in each of these years ..
1914, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975 and 1994
Maybe "the Faithful and discret slave" could use this one 2034 .. it could buy over twenty years of grace !!
