'One thing is absolutely certain..'

*** w68 8/15 500-1 Why Are You Looking Forward to 1975? *** 35 One thing is absolutely certain, Bible chronology reinforced with fulfilled Bible prophecy shows that six thousand years of mans existence will soon be up, yes, within this generation! (Matt. 24:34) This is, therefore, no time to be indifferent and complacent. This is not the time to be toying with the words of Jesus that concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. (Matt. 24:36) To the contrary, it is a time when one should be keenly aware that the end of this system of things is rapidly coming to its violent end. Make no mistake, it is sufficient that the Father himself knows both the day and hour!

Ho-hum.

Same Watchtower stark-raving mad frothing at the mouth frenzy-inciting bullshit, different decade.

That quote was almost 35 years ago.

I wonder if the boys in Brooklyn ever suspected that the words written in their own literature would eventually become their own worst enemy.

Whether they did or not...........the literature that they made so much money out of.......comes back to bite their ass.

My, that's quite a CLEAR CUT prophecy/admonition if I ever heard one! And the "friends" were supposed to IGNORE that "counsel" when it was put to them like THAT?

That is about the most Blasphemous quote I've seen to date regarding 1975, specifically the verse Nathan picked out. I do believe they just called Jesus Christ a big fat liar! They had a lot of gaul in those days.

Grits when you read that paragraph......you get the impression that the time is indeed known...and no need to 'toy' with with Jesus words about not knowing the time.......this was for the benefit of those in the cong. that were still being restrained by Matt 24 :36. and hence 'indifferent'.

That was good ISP. It gave me an idea for a tounge in cheek article dealing with this very issue. Thanks!

Don't they always say that '75 stuff was never in their literature?

ISP

Most dubs don't know what was said about '75. They say it was something of nothing but you would have to have been there to realise how bad it really was.

It is a great source of pride for me that I left in '74.

It seemed stupid to hang around for '75 if the only reason you were hanging around was for '75.

Like God could be so tricked by a lot of opportunistic, self-serving, insincere brown-nosing?

I'd have to say that was maybe the first time I CLEARLY saw a separation between 'God' and 'Jehovah' (that is, 'God', as JWs saw Him - I only recently learned that the name is actually bogus, too).

If God was going to toss into the 'discard' pile people like Mother Teresa and a slew of others whose lives and spirituality I respected and admired, while he was going to love and shelter and harbor those many opportunistic, judgemental and idiotic goofs at the KH...well then, I guess I'd take my chances in the discard pile with Mother Teresa.

Somehow, I just 'knew' that God was not that stupid - and I was not that chicken.
