From the 9/15/2012 Watchtower this sentence starts off paragraph 12 on page 25.
Just think how discouraging it could have been to expect the end and for it not to occur!
I think I know why JWs are So Discouraged!

They need some proofreading help with that sentance:
Just think remember how discouraging it could have has been to expect the end and for it not to occur!
That's more like it.

Although the anointed had for decades
looked to 1914 as a marked year, they
did not clearly understand what would
happen.When things did not take place
as they expected, it could have looked
as if the Bridegroom were delaying.One
brother (Macmillan) later recalled, “A few of us seriously
thought we were going to heaven
during the first week of that October
[1914].”
12 Just think how discouraging it
could have been to expect the end and
for it not to occur! Moreover, the brothers
faced opposition related to World
War I. A period of relative inactivity,
like sleep, set in. But in 1919, there was
a call to wake up! Jesus had come to
God’s spiritual temple, and a time for
inspection arrived. Some, however,
failed that inspection and consequently
lost their privilege to continue in the
King’s “business.” (Matt. 25:16)
-----------------
And then again reset the year to 1915
And then again to 1925
the 1940's
and 1975

@blondie- That's one hell of a half truth lie with the whole "marked year" thing. I guess 1975 was a "marked year" as well, with the exception of an invisible man taking his throne invisibly in heaven.

The end already came--of the Age of Pisces. And that's all they're getting.
What a major disappointment for those witlesses who are thinking that their god Jehovah even gives a fxxx about them, let alone is going to soon repair paradise and bring mankind to the perfection that only Father Satan has any real interest in doing. At least Satan is trying. Which is a lot more than can be said about Jehovah, who keeps Satan from accomplishing anything meaningful.
Shame on you Jehovah. And may you, and all your filthy angels, be forever bound to the end of time while every single one of Satan's Demons get to work free of such filthy angels.

Give me a break WTWizard with your satanic crap! I know that satanists put up the
Georgia guidestones and want to kill everybody but 500 million people and some
are saying even less such as 250 million people.
Satanists make lethal virsus to kill people, they make flesh eating bacteria, I know they
are behind the beta testing of some zombie like drug.
The New World Order is coming. However, the bible says it is.
The only filthy angels are satan and his demons!
