Sure it happened and the WTBS was behind it all. I remember quitting school and going pioneering in the winter of 74 because the time was so short. How a brother that studied with us impressed on us the importance of getting baptized because the time was so short and we would never see our 20's in this old system. How a elders wife in the 1968 told us that we would probably not even see 1970 in this Old System of things. I could go on and on with stories like this but yet it was all in our heads. The society never discouraged it but promoted it through assemblies etc. I was there and seen what they did and I will never forget and to my dying breath I will make sure that others won't forget it either.
