Terry, I'm not really interested in answering any challenges from trthskr per se, because he can't be bothered to answer my questions, so why should I answer his? However, whoever wrote the material on that web page should at least provide some opportunity for people to answer his/her assertions, assuming they are genuine of course.

"In view of this strong Bible evidence concerning the Times of the Gentiles, we consider it an established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world, and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God, will be accomplished near the end of A.D. 1915. Studies In the Scriptures Series II - The Time Is At Hand 1915 ed. pp.99, 101, 242
I seem to have missed the words "We speculate.." or "Our opinion.."
"They [elected elders] 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.... Because men tried to fix the date when God would destroy modern Nineveh and God did not back up their prophecy... is that any reason to be peeved?"Watchtower 1938 February 15 p.55
Um, duh--YES!!
"Logically, the calling of the little flock would draw to a close when the number was nearing completion, and the evidence is that the general gathering of these specially blessed ones ended in 1935."Watchtower 1995 February 15 p.19
What evidence is there???
"Thus it appears that we can not set a specific date for when the calling of Christians to the heavenly hope ends." Watchtower 2007 May 1 p.31
Oh, we see! There "evidently" was No Evidence!
