Found this on You Tube:

Relevant JW bits are from:

1:38 - 2:15 and

3:03 - 07:28

It's from a 2007 BBC documentary called: Apocalypse Now And Then. But the clips are from a 1969 episode of a show called Braden's Week:

Really fascinating to see that in 1969 the year 1975 was being so openly talked about by the BBC. Not that the JW's ever predicted armageddon in 1975 of course. No never.

*cough*

Be great to get a copy of Until Armageddon...

Thanks for sharing wizzstick. I thought that Alan Rogerson was better at predicting the WTBTS's actions (5:41-6:11 mins) than the WTBTS has predicted the Big A.

Unfortunately, no "Spiritually Strong" (non-thinking) JW would believe the history of the WTBTS - BITE Control is unbelieveably powerful.

Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

The guy who left the church and wrote that book had it nailed down exactly what the WT would do when 1975 failed.

Brilliant. I wish I'd seen this in 1982 :(

Very interesting.

I notice the brother trying to prove 1914 calls 607 BC the start year "according to Witness chronology". Mmm.

Good find! Hard to deny the expectation of 1975 didnl texist back then or that the publicaitons were manipulted to exclude the exact statement when it was openly reported on 6 years before the date.

An honest JW explaining 1914 honestly, well, well, well... Anyone know what happened to that bro? Was he purged? Or did he wake up to himself and start talking Watchtower-truth?

And what is that Englishwoman's thing from that era (1969) with speaking without moving the lips? They end up with a wierd look and sound. Margaret Thatcher did it too. Is it a socila class thing?
