The link between 1919 and 1914 is so tenuous and obfuscated that no JW I know can explain it in terms that a normal person would not go WTF ??
But, tenuous, improbable, sounding very much like nonsense or not, what else have the GB got ? if they ditch 1914 there simply has to be, and I capitalize this on purpose, NO REASON WHATSOEVER FOR A 1919 CHOOSING OF THE FDS.
If they were not chosen then, (and of course they were not), WHEN ? WHY ? and WHAT PROOF ?
If they are not the FDS what are they ? Seven old farts who have no education and no right to dictate to 7-8 million people.
